Outside Advertising?

[Former_Member]

I need some help with this. I'm not sure how to get people to see my shop. I've done the facebook thing, flikr, a blog, I'm even on crafster! Where do you advertise your shop?

[Crystalcat1989]

You can advertise on stumbleupon.com
can put up likes to your shop and items.

Yep, stumbleupon.com gives me about 6 or 7 more views a day. I also signed up for pinterest.com which is similar to stumble, but I haven't played with it yet.

a local craigslist ad helps sometimes too

deviantart.com also

I have a friend who had a lot of success with deviant art. Maybe I will give that a try.

I was puzzled about this as well, it seemed nothing I did got me views. But then I started to favorite/circle/favorite other people's shops a lot, and it seemed to increase my own views. People are usually interested in seeing my shop when they see that I have favorited theirs. :)

Yea thats true too. I have a lot of things Favorited and a big circle. I'm trying out the teams thing too- but that is more for advise than for sales. ^_^

Just tried a service that promotes your items on Pinterest (first item is free):

StoreWoot.com/invite/amysuecrafts/

It has definitely increased my item views. Worth a try since the first item is free and no credit card or payment info required to try it out.
