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

Hello,
My Facebook page is: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Patchwork-Jewelry/222496464460402 Everyone who likes me so far is a Facebook friend. No customers or admirers from Etsy have like the page yet. I am wondering what I can do to change this? I offered an extra discount in a sale all last week, but had no takers.

I've been reading the newsletters since before I opened my Etsy store. I'm working on a local online gift guide for my blog and I hope everyone I feature will share it with their fans.

I've been on Facebook for awhile now, but I find it hard to update it as much as I should while still trying to update my website and Etsy store. It's a little much sometimes!

I have a twitter account, but it befuddles me, so I don't use it. :(
