Raverly- Anyone use this to promote their knit patterns?

[RomaMiaTradingCo]

Good morning!

I was wondering if anyone uses Raverly to promote any of their knit patterns and if they have had any success using it?

I have an account with them, and I uploaded both of the patterns I created to it, and linking them back to my Etsy site. It cost me nothing to throw them up there so I figured no harm, no foul. Plus, I personally use the site a lot to find patterns, so I hoped for moderate views from it. But so far I don't think I've had any people come back to my site through it (not sure if it'll show as "direct traffic" or "raverly" in my stats bar).

So, do any of you use it to promote, and what have your results been like?

I don't have anything listed right now. But I've used it in the past. It's great. The traffic is good, the resources are good. They don't charge you until you make a certain $ amt in sales. You can use the free pattern testers group. You have to be on it a lot, people use the private messaging system quite a bit. It's also a great place to put free patterns. I do have a few of those still listed. Lots of people post FO's of stuff they made with your pattern and good honest reviews. You never have to renew anything, it's incredibly easy.

It's clunky and not the most use friendly, but I can't say enough good things about it. AND it's super cool to me that there are people on there who are making their first pattern and there are also fiber superstars who make their living off of patterns. Very cool.
