Be Involved

I originally posted this in another thread and decide to share it on the board.

Kaboodle, Tumblr, facebook, facebook pages (so much easier these days), twitter, forums, teams, list or message on all of these every day. Choose teams that are in your speciality, but also where your target market hangs out. Same with all the others. We have more time for these now that search is improved

You can't sell without views and the more views, the better your chances of selling. Although sometimes one view is all it takes.

Feel positive and involved. Be a participating member. Even learn more about your specialty. But... the most important thing is to be positive.

Re: Be Involved

I'm not sure what most of that is. I only know what face book is, and I don't have one cuz I never like it and don't have time for face book.

Re: Be Involved

Views are good but relevant views are way better than any old views.

I agree that connecting with others online is wonderful for getting yourself and your shop "out there."

Adding something of value to the Etsy community (or any other online community) is also a great way to connect with others.

Nice post.

Re: Be Involved

Great post! Any time I start to get down, I cheer myself up and do a little bit of tweaking here and there, and before I know it, I have another sale!

BTW, your user name is genius OP.

Re: Be Involved

Facebook, my own blog and Etsy forums are all I can handle right now. I am trying to get these all going well before adding something else. When I am finally ready to add another social media, which would you suggest would give me the most bang for my time?

Great post BTW.

Re: Be Involved

I agree. Involvement does make a huge difference. I also believe the more you're involved the quicker you understand how and why, progressing even more.
