Thanks hope the title didn't sound to harsh (lol) the last two are just still so small you wont get lost in the listings just yet its better to get in while you can!

[Former_Member]

Good tips! I will check back regularly to see if you have more. I am also starting a new blog with my two best friends and fellow crafters. We hope to have it up and running soon and will be looking for people to review and host giveaways with as soon as we are up :)

Just joined (and visited ValValVoom's blog). I am trying diligently to do all the things I should to get out there (fb, blog, etc.--haven't started Twittering yet). It's a lot to get caught up in and keep up with and work on my creations also. So...I thank you! This is great having some links and ideas!! I'm not that tech savvy, so I hope somewhere down the line I can provide some information to you all as well.
Nice to meet everyone!

Thats 100% why I did this I felt like i spent more time searching the internet for all these Etsy tools than working on my Etsy store... I wanted to bring the best of the best here. A lot of tools and pages I found by googling no longer exist and its new sites like Etsy Lush that only get around by word of mouth I'm trying to get out there. Etsy its self has a lot of great tools on its community tab like the Virtual Labs and some tools on Fedex discounts, calculators, etc. I was really trying to find the hidden ones though! Thanks good luck!

[artfulMdesigns]

@ValValVoom, yes the deer one:) Then I submitted another journal the next day and it was on the front page, now it's on page 2, so I submitted another this morning. :)

I know some of these might be old news to some, but these could change some newbies shops around.

Hello ValValVoom, do you know if this site http://www.yaami.com/ is used to promote etsy shops too? I could not understand the 'plug my item feature' since I subscribed and 'plugged' an item but it doesn't worked... Did you ever use it?

Have a wonderful day!

So much stuff! Thanks everyone!

[Former_Member]

how do you post a link on craftgawker? It's telling me they don't use etsy links...

[Former_Member]

*****CraftGawker Update*****

The very first time I did this it worked with my Etsy link they might have changed it. I'm not quite sure. I used my blog link instead and that worked I'm sure a facebook page will work too. Hope that helps sorry for the confusion.
Thanks,
Valerie

Thanks so much for sharing those sites... It's hard enough to get enough stock made up..much less know of different ways to promote it .Dealing with a blog is more than I thought I would ever do...now all this .LOL

[collscreations]

Thank you for the tips. I have only heard of etsylush. I hope to submit to these other sites soon. I have a few of my items on etsylush. It is good exposure.
