Making your products sell themselves...

[Former_Member]

Hi everyone!

I have a second Etsy shop specializing in writing, and I networked with the creator of The Craft Tonic magazine -- fabulous by the way!

In Issue 2, I did a shop talk style article about general marketing techniques for your shop.

For this Issue, number 2, I put together a full article on making your products sell themselves. It is getting a lot of really positive feedback, so I thought I'd share it with you. You can find it under the "Featured" section of the contents page or flip right to page 12.

Emma, the creator, has really outdone herself with this issue, so don't be shy about looking around some more while you're there!

If you don't subscribe to the magazine already, you just have to sign up with your email. It's free, so no worries!

Anyway, I hope some of you are able to get some great tips from the article. Enjoy your weekend!


Also, if you have any questions you'd like to ask me directly, feel free to contact me via Etsy convos through this shop account or through WillWrite4Food.

It says issue #2 in the OP but I found it in #3 in case anyone was wondering. And it's a great article and a really cool magazine! I'm subscribed for sure!

[Former_Member]

Ooops! Thanks for pointing that out.

Yes, the article to which I'm referring is in Issue 3 on page 12.

I put a lot of thought and work into making this article as comprehensive as possible, so I hope you enjoy!

It really is a great magazine! I love looking through it, and I can't wait to see what she throws in next!

I think the ads are pretty reasonable, as well, for anyone looking for advertising.

Not sure how to access the magazine. Do I have to register in order to read it?

[PorcelainJazz]

Soapdeli, I had to register in order to read it.

I enjoyed the article and the magazine. Thanks for the tip.

But now I need to know if registering signed me up as a subscriber?

[Former_Member]

I signed up. I enjoyed your contribution to the magazine. Great advice. Thanks!

[Former_Member]

Thanks for checking the article out!

Yes, registering subscribes you to the magazine. This allows you to always access the magazine. However, the only emails I get are to let me know when a new issue is out. I don't get any advertising mail or newsletters.

So, I wouldn't worry about being subscribed. So far, it works just like a traditional magazine subscription. You get the new issue in the mail and notice when your subscription is up, but they don't send anything else to your house.
