DAILY SEARCH-A-THON * SUNDAY 7/23/2017 ! NO FILTERS ALLOWED !
******************************************************************************
Those of you who have more than one shop can promote all of them from just one shop. No need to promote from every shop id … you can promote all your shops from just one shop account.
******************************************************************************
This game not only gives you an ORGANIC VIEW from Etsy - it also gets a lot more attention with Etsy's algorithm. It is highly recommended that you DO NOT use an app and manually view and fave … this takes more time but this avoids any problems with your app and also you can see for yourself what fabulous items are offered.
PLEASE READ this explanation and make sure you understand and follow the rules. Feel free to ask if you have any questions after reading.
HOW TO WORK:
FIRST:
Make sure the thread is not closed yet and post your search link first and do the hearts for the ones before you directly after.
How to get a search link of your listing:
- go to your shop and open the item you want to promote.
- the language needs to be English. You can change that at the page bottom.
- then copy the TITLE of your item and paste it into the Etsy Search bar and click ‘Search'
- make sure to REMOVE price FILTERS on that page and SWITCH OFF any other search filters there too.
- if the search shows ONLY your item(s), copy the link of the page showed.
- copy and post this item search link (url) in the game.
******************************** IMPORTANT ***********************************
************************** DON'T POST AND RUN *****************************
This is what you need to do DIRECTLY after posting your search link:
- open the search links from your team members posted before yours
- then open their listing by clicking on the little picture
- then heart/Re-heart their SHOP ♥ and their LISTING ♥
- post ‘here’ or something similar to mark your progress
For easy return just mark the Searchthon Thread, by clicking the ‘Mark’ button so you can finish the thread later today.
MARK YOUR PROGRESS ON THE HEARTS
- come back later today to do the same with the posts after yours ♥
- post ‘here’ or something similar to mark your progress again
- remember your team members will do the same for you ♥♥♥ !!!
How to handle not opening links:
If a link does not open for you, make sure it’s not your own ‘ships to (your country)’ filter. If so, this filter will show up in the middle of the page you try to open, right under the search suggestions, with the X next to it)
click the X and you will see the listing opens.
In case the link still does not open, just ignore it and please mention this when you post ‘here'.
KEEP IN MIND:
In case you are out of hearts, do mention this by posting your page progress on your hearts for your team members.
Do not change the title of your listing after you posted your search link here. It won't work anymore !
In case you use the app to do the searching, you don't have to open the remaining searchlinks which are posted by not matching shop accounts.
Post your own search link with the matching shop account.
Also post a search link that pulls up ONLY your listing(s) and not other shops too.
If you have any concerns someone not following the rules please help us by sharing it with me or one of the other leaders.
Search links which are posted after closing will not have to be clicked on.
Finish the closed thread and post ‘done’ or similar.
The new thread starts shortly after closing previous.
♥ IMPORTANT ♥
Faves/re-faves are mandatory.
This thread will be monitored by multiple leaders and anyone who post and run will find their posts deleted.
IF you participated in one of APC Search-a-thon threads earlier, finish that thread before posting today and don’t forget to post ‘Done’
