I know that I have been out of pocket for a minute...My sister had a baby, kids returned to school and...wait for it...I am looking for a "Job". Returning to the work force has been interesting. I must say I love crafting but still working on a way to "make it work" so that it can be my "work". I am still going to focus my efforts on my handmade shop but I have to get a more secure job. ;) All in due time.
I continue to list items in Pjoeandlyie's Etsy shop and make postings to the Facebook fan page but I wonder if anyone has noticed. (Other than friends and family, LOL)I have been doing a lot of research lately. I have found a few sites that I wanted to mention. The first site is Craft Cult. I was always curious if all of my items made it to the front page. Unfortunately, not yet. But I can find out by stopping by Craft Cult. You will find a tab up on the top left hand side that says Heart-O-Matic. Click it and you can check out the following features for you shop: shop hearts, item hearts, single item hearts, item view, featured and charts. It also has an option to add a pocket shop for your Etsy shop to you blog...very cute and helpful. I added one of course!
Another site that I found useful is social mention. You can see if you have been mentioned anywhere on the web just by typing your shop name (or any criteria for that matter) in the the search bar. There are several categories to pick from or you can pick all of them to search.
Hope you get a chance to check out the sites mentioned above. Talk to you soon!
Neat! Thanks for sharing those sites! I don't have an etsy store, and I gathered that was the purpose of the first one ... but I found my blog on the second link! How very flattering! :D I'm totally bookmarking that... :)
ReplyDeleteGood luck on the job front.
