I signed up to have a giveaway/feature at Etsyfix.blogspot.com and had AMAZING RESULTS!
So, it is free to go to their site and sign up. Just search Etsy Fix Blog. They will assign you a day and then feature you. You can have a US giveaway or international giveaway. And, people can enter in various ways for example liking you on facebook.
I was on their front page for a day and featured for a week. It brought in over 45 views to my shop in the last 7 days according to shop stats but I think their was probably more under direct link. Even though it is over it is still brining in views. Also, I went from around 580 facebook fans to over 615.
I did not see an increase in sales. But, I did increase my exposure and increased exposure willl lead to sales one day!!
ALSO, Google Ad Words is giving $75 worth of FREE ADS away to NEW members. My ad started today! It was super EASY! The google rep did all the work! I was nervous about calling someone etc but it worked out really nice. My rep gave me a code for $100 free with a max each day of $5. SO, I have at least 20 days of ads on google for FREE! The rep creates the ad and keywords for you!!
Feel Free to Convo me if you have questions about either advertising option!
