Instagram Promo: LIKE + COMMENT

[Former_Member]

Hi GORGEOUS PEOPLE! Here's where all the fun starts! Let's try this game again. (previous post is closed as nobody followed the rules and seemed to be misunderstanding the whole point of the game). Apologies if I didn't explain it well enough.

INSTRUCTIONS IN 5 STEPS:

1. Share a post on Instagram that features your beautiful handmade item from your Etsy shop (or work in progress... anything to do with your Etsy shop).
2. Post a link of THAT Instagram post here (copy & paste)
3. Then GO BACKWARDS and click 11 previous links. Each link should be a different IG post from 11 different people.
4. LIKE + COMMENT** each post from those 11 links
5. Wait 11 other people before posting a new (or same) link again!

**WHAT TO COMMENT UNDER EACH INSTAGRAM POST???
Please take a moment to read the captions of each IG post and what type of handmade item they are sharing. Then comment with RELEVANT positive words that help build a buzz around their art. Use words that subtly encourage sales! See previous post for comment DO's & DON'Ts: https://www.etsy.com/teams/29590/etsygram/discuss/18183347/page/2

FIRST 11 PEOPLE: need to post their links of 1 (ONE) Instagram post and wait for 11 other people to post links to click on their links and LIKE + COMMENT on each. After that, post your IG link, then click 11 IG links BACKWARDS and LIKE + COMMENT on their Instagram posts.

From 12th person onwards (after 2-3rd page), every person goes BACKWARDS to click on previous 11 links and LIKE + COMMENT on each Instagram post.

Originally I planned to make this game every day afresh, but it's easier to keep one Thread for now and see how we do. This is going to be amazing if everyone plays fairly!! The more people join in the game, the more fun and the more rewarding it will be! Invite your fellow Etsy friends! :)

IMPORTANT: I will be monitoring if everyone is playing failry! Those who abuse the rules of this fabulous game will be removed from the team, no questions asked. This team is mainly Etsy shop promo VIA INSTAGRAM, so if you lack integrity, you don't deserve to be part of this rewarding Team!

I will start it off with my own link of a new item I added to my Etsy shop just recently:

<<<<< https://www.instagram.com/p/BN4B06sBKWM/ >>>>>

As mentioned in the rules, I will have to wait for another 11 links to appear here, then click on each of those new links and LIKE & COMMENT under each IG post. 2nd person needs to go click on my link, LIKE & COMMENT, and wait 10 others to post their links & do the same. 3rd person needs to click on the 2nd post and 1st post (my post) to LIKE & COMMENT, and wait another 9 to like & comment theirs. Do you see the point of this game? :) Any questions or suggestions, feel free to post in between. I will be checking the posts. Love to all, and let's play!

P.S. No follow 4 follow! Only follow people if you like their IG posts, but do not ask for a return follow.

Howdy everyone from snowy Central Oregon! Here's a link to my newly sewn Dopp kits. My partner and I are new to the Etsy community & this seems like a fun way to meet other makers. Thanks for hosting the game!

I'm so glad people are starting to play this game! Don't be shy, peeps! Join in! It's much easier done that it seems! (don't be scared off by the gigantic intro text, or the requirement to leave thoughtful comments). xx

@ Ferda from dafremoda,

please do NOT spam our Instagram pages with links of your Etsy items! No potential buyer likes that and us, sellers, certainly don't appreciate it. If you don't comply with the Rules of this game (and Team!), you will be removed from this Team. End of the story.

PLEASE NOTE PEEPS: Instagram accounts that are set on PRIVATE can't play this game. It's not nice to ask everyone who wants to Like or Comment your Instagram post to Follow you just so they can play the game fairly. So, any Private accounts be aware that not everyone will want to follow you just so they can play the game. This may result in people ignoring your post without any participation. Sorry about that. Any suggestions, anyone?

Some people here are NOT playing this game fairly. YES, I DO CHECK ALL YOUR INTERACTION to see who's cheating. Their posts are being removed with no warning. Repeat offence will lead to them being removed & banned from this team. It's not fair on those lovely people who make effort to do the work, while others just drop their link and run. Or drop their ETSY SHOP LINK without your IG post link, which is irrelevant to this game.

Thanks to all those who take part in it. I know it's terribly slow at this stage and doesn't look very promising. We need way more people to join this game to actually build some buzz and comments need to be more engaging, not just one word splur :) So spread the word and invite your fellow Etsy friends! :)
