Revanto,

I used to have an artisan business that I marketed totally on the web. I had to leave the business due to physical issues. The point I want to make is that with targeted marketing you don't need a lot of traffic to make a living selling hand made products, if the product price is high enough. When I closed shop my prices were between $250 and $500 USD per sale. Gross profit was almost 100%, and I sold everything I could produce without trouble.

I don't know what product you make, but there might be ways to improve things without gaining tons of traffic. I still have the site up but I have given up the domain name and do not operate the business anymore. Here is the link: Rocheleau Briar Pipes . If you explore the links on the left side of the page it will take you to the products (Pipemaking).

If I can be of any help at all, just PM me or Email from the site. I'd be glad to help if I can.
