check out stumble, its a really good way to drive traffic to your items (and everybody elses too), its a bit like pinterest

its also an incredible time suck!

I joined Pinterest but haven't done much with it. I'm curious what people think about the copyright flap around Pinterest. It made me wary of getting into it. But I do need to drive some traffic to my items...

I love stumble! Definitely a time sucker if you're not careful, it's lead me to some interesting places.
I hadn't heard about a copyright flap around pinterest, but I was late hopping on that ride anyway :)

just dont pin stuff without linking back to the owner and you're fine - if they object take it down with good grace

i dont pin much outside of etsy anyway

I like pinterest a lot... and it works. I also get lots of hits from stumble thanks to another team I'm on. I can't say either have increased sales.

I do know stumble will ban you if too many of your links come from one place so I hate having to think about stumbling other sites. I'm either here or reading blogs... "Sorry my life is so limited, Mr. Stumbleupon!"

I like stumble :)

I dont think it's a "great" seller tool....as most folks stumbling arnt exactly people looking to buy something. But figure why not one might fall in love with my stuff right lol.

plus its really good if a team was to say...trying to get lots of views on a treasury list. several folks like it...and stumble will direct a bunch of folks there in short about of time.

now that you mention it, If I am stumbling, I am usually not in a shopping mood - more of a mindless entertainment mode... click the button & it takes you somewhere interesting! I still add my links for fun, I have found a few really cool etsy shops thru stumble and favorited them. :)
