Re: Links of Where you can Promote

Hi there,
I just tried to pin something to the Craftori Pinterest Board, but it wasn't an option on my dropdown box anymore. Is the board no longer active?

Re: Links of Where you can Promote

This is now the new updated list of where you can promote. The Pinterest Boards no longer exist as they were not effective. Too many people were self promoting only and when I sent out reminders of the rules, many sellers got upset. Because it was taking up much of my time and they were not effective, we decided that it was best to delete the Boards altogether. Craftori will continue to promote their sellers on the other boards as those seem to be more effective.

Re: Links of Where you can Promote

I apologize. I was self promoting as I thought that was what we were supposed to do. Guess I missed the rules about that.

@Elizabeth, the boards can only work if people help each other by repinning. If no one repins, then everyone is just wasting their time. :-(

Re: Links of Where you can Promote

Bowing out of the group. Cant be in treasuries since I can't sacrifice a tag on each item and now no pinterest board. I get maybe a click from the craftori site every couple of days at best.
Best of luck everyone!

Re: Links of Where you can Promote

Yeah, I'm sad to see the Pinterest boards go. I always made sure to repin and got good repins of my items too!

Gosh, I apologize! I was one of those who didn't re-pin! I didn't know we were supposed to. Sorry for not reading the rules. I should know better--I'm a teacher. ;)

Re: Links of Where you can Promote

@MoltenColor, you need to work on your images, I have promoted your items but people are not clicking. I placed many of them on a large group Pinterest board for glass objects. If you look around the Craftori site, you'll see the views on the items at the bottom. Good quality images get many more views.

@ everyone, Craftori has always concentrated on getting views outside of Etsy. What we did not want to do was advertise sellers to other sellers. When the Craftori Pinterest Boards started up, I had collated over 6000 followers, predominantly NOT handmade sellers. I then opened up the board to sellers so that items could be put before this audience of 6000 sellers but unfortunately, due to many people not sticking to the 3 pins per day, we lost many of those sellers.

Ultimately then the pins were being advertised to other sellers, the very thing we had tried to avoid. That's why the boards were no longer effective.

Craftori has many, many platforms from which it promotes our sellers. You can find the list from our faqs page here http://craftori.com/faqs On one Twitter account we have 47850+ followers but we also have other Twitter accounts from which we promote. Many of the followers are NOT other Sellers and we make sure we have a good mix.

The forum on Etsy here is not like many other forums here because we wanted to do something different. We have a few promotional threads here because otherwise we would have very few members but ultimately, the goal is to get you guys sales and we do not believe that this can be done solely from promoting to other sellers.

Re: Links of Where you can Promote

I agree with Katie I was always sure to repin - sometimes more than one for each one of mine. I used to get good repins from the boards too.

Re: Links of Where you can Promote

@gogrady, it did work for some people, particularly if the imagery was good and also if the items were seasonal or on trend. Generally though, most items pinned each day did not get any repins.

@Kitty, someone posted 18hrs before you and then several again on 9th Jan and almost each day before that. Not sure why you can't see them.

Hi Thanks for adding me to group.
I have posted on the Craftori website but unfortunately have been unable to upload images to totalartsoul as my photos exceed the upload limit. Bit thick on this subject ? Help.

@Nisa, The Total Art Soul website is for visual arts only. Is that what you intend to upload?
