Help if you can!

I know you all are super busy with your own promotions but I thought I would reach out for your suggestions. Today I got a huge shout out on a YouTube video. He has over 100,000 subscribers so its huge.

But I didn't know he was going to do it (although I hoped he would) so I didn't have everything lined up to take advantage of the exposure. My etsy shop has had already over 7 times the views today as normal. Can you look at my etsy page, my blog (which is lame) and my FB page and tell me how else I can take advantage of this exposure? If not, I know you are busy and I understand?

Thanks for reading this.

That is so exciting, Alane!!

Just off the cuff:

ETSY

Definitely fill up all your featured item spots.

Maybe in the welcome section give a little shout out / reference to the video. I would make the first sentence something like, "Just wanted to say hello to all the MrArturoTrejo watchers ... I myself am a fan... etc."

On the monkey hat listing I would also make mention of the youtube video and maybe even share the link in the description. http://www.etsy.com/listing/100454550/crochet-sock-monkey-hats

Raise your prices first thing. You are way low compared to your competition. you want to be average or slightly above so others see the value of your work and your items are lovely. They definately deserve to be priced higher.

Hello

My only thought is you could put more listings of you hats on and use some of your other photos to show it off. Put a link back to the u tube or as featured in...

I hope you do well, if not now people will remember when it gets colder :-)

Also just thought use a couple of the tags for words that the little man said.

BLOG
Make a post with the youtube video, expressing your excitement. Maybe title it "See my Crochet Monkey Hats In Action" Or something like that. Haha.

FACEBOOK
I would also share the video on your facebook page - and maybe even offer a little promo code.

Just some thoughts. CONGRATULATIONS again!!! :-) :-) ;-)

I agree with Natasha....your prices are way too low!
Also...work on your titles. Make them longer with more info for the buyer. Like this one: add white and black with ties, maybe add the type of yarn used....not sure, gift for baby....or perfect shower gift....I know you are limited but just a though.

Congratulations! Get your shop ready though for all those new lookers. You only have one chance to make a big first impression. What a darling baby model!

Thanks so much everyone. Super suggestions. I was totally unprepared for all the new lookers. You all are great to help. Good luck to you too!

OK - I raised by prices but I am nervous about it. Its not like I was selling a lot before so let me know what you think of the new prices when you have time. Thanks for the compliments. I checked out all your shops and favorited and added you to my circles. I really appreciate all the input.
