19-year-old university student Keiko Groves started her Internet-based business, Postlapsaria, with just a weblog. The clothes designer markets her original clothing to teenagers around the world who are searching for fashion that cannot be found in local malls and boutiques through her Live Journal weblog.
Groves uses her weblog on Live Journal to market her clothing because her targeted customers (those who don’t like the selection at local stores and prefer original, unique designs) are bloggers too; hence they are appreciative of what a weblog does. By mixing her blog entries about her business with other posts such as photographs illustrating her life and everyday happenings, she succeeded in engaging her target audience. Such an approach attracts people to keep coming back and buying from Grooves.
Who said that you need an world-class website like Amazon.com’s to sell online? You can just do so with a blog!

How To Sell Online With Nothing More Than A Blog
(Visited 10 times, 1 visits today)
the only problem with selling stuff with a blog is you having to personally market it, or use SEO on it in order to have a chance that people come across it. or you can use PPC but both cost money :/

I have only a blog, and run a gift store in the sidebar. It is just becoming successful, with some work, you can do it.
You can get plenty of traffic from commenting on other blogs, offering a tutorial on another site, and blog directories.
