How To #1: Sign up for your free directory listing

Getting your craft business listed on LocaliBuy is free and takes about two minutes. The video above shows every click, and here's the same walk in writing.

What the free listing gets you

• Neighbors searching your town's directory find you by ZIP code
• A page with your photos, your story, and your contact info and socials
• One link you can share anywhere: business cards, Facebook, booth signs
• No card required and no fees, free for as long as you like

The steps

1. Go to localibuy.com/signup
2. Pick your plan. Choose Directory listing, the free one. (The paid Shop Plus plan adds a full online storefront, and there's a separate video for that.)
3. Enter your first and last name, your email, and a password, then hit Create my account. In a hurry? The Sign up with Google button does the whole thing in one tap.

After you sign up

You land in your dashboard right away, no waiting. We'll send you an email to verify your address; you don't have to click it immediately, you've got seven days, but it only takes a second, so knock it out while you're thinking about it.

Common questions

Do I need a credit card? No. The directory listing never asks for one.

Can I upgrade later? Yes. Your free listing stays exactly as it is, and a shop adds online ordering on the same link whenever you're ready.

Next step: set up your listing so neighbors can find you.
