How many teams?

[Former_Member]

How many teams are you a member of? What is a good number?

[PotteryLodge]

I'm with 4 I believe. I just opened my shop a few days ago so I plan to join more teams : )

I am in 29 teams, and i think the more you join teams the more your shop get viewed; but you have to participate in all the teams you have joined. In this way you make more friends and more views for your shop and items.

i participate at 3 teams and they gave me great advice and encouragement.
Of course there is a need for time and energy to participate!
I intend to join more!

I am in 25, I'm very active...I agree you shouldn't join tea,s if you do or have time to participate. I have learned a bunch in teams

[Former_Member]

31 I think. I try to visit a couple a day and hopefully hit each one once a week.

I'm a member of 65 teams *hides*.

[Former_Member]

Member f 14 teams for the moment and I plan to join more.

[Former_Member]

I'm currently a member of over 50 teams and a leader of 5 teams.

The ones that I find to be the most useful and fun are the ones that have active discussion threads.

I find that the teams that are strictly promo teams to be a waste of time.

about 20, I try to keep it at a number I can keep track of.

I belong to 5 teams but I only participate in two of them on a daily basis. I don't know how people have the time to create for their shop if they spend so much time on multiple teams.

I mix them up from time to time.

I like to have just 10 or 11, its all that fit on one page of our board. I have crocheted items in my shop, but they are not items that I promote.

So, just recently I drop a crochet team. I didn't think it was fair to belong and not have more than 50% of my shop items be crocheted.

I don't know how someone can have 40 teams? Oh, my goodness.

[Former_Member]

Not a fan of promotional teams.

[Former_Member]

Just five I think - I couldn't keep up with any more unless I didn't work on my shop, maybe when I'm more established I'll have time.

What Judy said: I don't know how people have the time to create for their shop if they spend so much time on multiple teams.

I got kicked off a team for not participating enough. Seriously.

6 and dwindling..I have been dropping the teams that were draining my time and energy and have been spending more time on my shop.

"I don't know how people have the time to create for their shop if they spend so much time on multiple teams."

Well, it depends on what it is you do. I spent a week going through my photograph backlog, editing pictures, etc., so I'm not actually creating anything on a regular basis - I'll just snap a shot if something calls out to me.

I'm in about a dozen teams right now, I think? And looking to reduce to just ten to keep them manageable, but I'm not sure which ones I'd cut. I'd like to join more teams like Etsy Success where people actually talk about things, and I'm definitely not cutting the European Street team or fPOE, but everything else is up in the air. (I'm newish to the forums/teams.)
