Promotion: new ideas

[Former_Member]

Hi! I want to share with all of you a video I did to promote my shop.
At first time I found this very difficult! But I'm having a lot of fun creating new ways to show what I do, what inspires me, my working place and my daily life.
I hope you'll enjoy it and this may inspire you to make your own video!
Good luck!

Looks great! My husband was kind enough to make a youtube video for me. He said it was not hard and it has generated a lot of views on my Etsy shop. I just can't tell whether it has generated sales, but any publicity is good. Here is mine:

I've just write down the music is by Yael Naïm. I've forgot to put that reference...

Valeria, your art and video is so great. I really enjoyed watching it :)
Where did you place the link?
I also have a video/slide show I made to present fingerless gloves I make. I added link to every description on Etsy and posted it a few times on my Facebook page. There are no many views, though.
Here is the link

I guess having a blog or website helps to bring more traffic.
Thanks for sharing
