Holiday Boot Camp - The home stretch!

[#1]

Hey Boot Campers,

We're getting back in the swing of it this week and you might have already been able to guess what we're going to focus on: social media.

While traffic and sales are at their yearly high, we wanted to be sure you had a way to grab more fans and followers, so I hope you saw this new way to connect your facebook and twitter accounts! http://www.etsy.com/blog/news/2011/socialize-your-shop-connect-to-facebook-and-twitter/

You'll receive your weekly boot camp instructions on Thursday afternoon, but if you are eager to get started, check out HeyMichelle's new post Etsy's Guide to Twitter here: http://www.etsy.com/blog/en/2011/etsys-guide-to-twitter/

I'm going to make an Etsy Success forum exception, since it is social media week, and ask you all to blast this forum thread with your Facebook pages and Twitter accounts so we can check out how we are creatively using these tools to build our brands. So link away!

Best,
Danielle

New to the team!

I've been involved in social media for quite some time, but I am definitely still learning to not be totally awkward with my shop promotion.

Hey Feline Fanatics, Nature Lovers, and fellow Artists--I would love for you to drop by my facebook page and say hi: http://www.facebook.com/SusanFayeArt

As for Twitter, my studio assistant Buttonwillow helps me out with tweets. Being of the feline persuasion, she LOVES things that tweet! Tweet her @ButtonwillowCat

Facebook is still the most difficult website I have ever tried to manoeuvre. I has spent so many hours trying to figure it out and it still boggles my mind. And what boggles my mind even more is that so many people understand and use it everyday without hassle and headaches.

Twitter on the other hand is way more user friendly. :)

I love FB, and use it daily under my own name. I'm inspired by this thread, however, and have set up the beginnings of a page for my shop:

Am jazzed about connecting with other makers via Twitter as well!

Thanks for all the advice. Social Marketing is the way, but sometimes a little confusing to navigate! We're excited to have links in our etsy store to twitter and facebook!
