What does anyone find to be the best way to get noticed?

Sandra I'm having trouble in that department as well. Sometimes just social media and personal friends aren't enough. Anyone have tips to bring strangers in?

From what I've researched, it's social media (which we've been doing), the SEO's you use for your product, the quality of photography (including finding your unique way of photography and having multiple views. If it's original artwork, show pictures of process), how active you are (if you're posting new things and updating things consistently), the depth of product descriptions, and being part of a team. (I heard the more traffic you get, the more likely you're to show up. I don't know how true that is.)

This is probably a boring question but how do you get those nice photos and links into the thread discussions? There doesn't seem to be a button to press to let you add links and pictures.

Larissa,
That is a very good question. I couldn't figure it out at first either. I don't know if there is more than one way, but what I do is select 'View Shop' from the My Shop drop down menu, then right click the product I want to add to a thread discussion and select 'Copy Link Address'. You can then go to another window to the group thread you want to post it into and paste that link. If I'm doing more than one product, I'll hit enter and do the same thing. Once you post your reply the pictures with a link will then show up. I hope that helps!

Yes, it does. Thank you.
