THESE RECOMMENDATIONS BENEFIT YOU!!!
Pay attention to your shop addy in signatures...try to add all URLs including blog or website addys, do this for your own marketing purposes…it is the fastest peek to give to members…don’t worry about seeming pushy…it’s our business that we are here to promote!!!
Update personal profile at yahoo with your etsy shop and web/blog addy!!!! Don’t you want members to find your shop???
Please change subject line in posts as topics splinter and evolve, we rely on everyone to do this to help folks do searches and quick views of ideas/posts
There is a search feature, type a keyword from a subject and it will pull up all posts about that word or phrase...thought this would be helpful for folks that aren't reading all posts
Group by topic...messages that is...go to message page and see "group by topic" next to .jpg)
simplify or expand, below message #...try it and see if it helps you read messages better...it works for some folks.
FYI
Bloging is helpful for exposure, putting a personal touch to your etsy shop and networking see links (add yours if it is not already there), database and file sections here at yahoo group for more promotional spots. Ann of SuchprettyColors has added some great links for us she has marked them with AAA to keep them at the top…smart cookie she is!!!
