Ali, Amy, and Julia have created their own YouTube channel called the Indie 5 Collective, and together they independently create videos!


They are posting helpful videos for Etsy sellers, such as this one about how to use social networking site Facebook to promote your Etsy shop. Sometimes the videos are just downright hilarious.

Ali broke it down and gave me the scoop on her collaborative project.

"A few months ago, I began making videos to promote my Etsy shop at Buttonhead.etsy.com. Each time I posted a new video, I received such a positive response from the community, and I started to realize the full potential for using video as a way to share knowledge and resources. Inspired by the many cool vlogging and artist collaboration channels on YouTube, I established the Indie 5 channel. We are an Etsy artist video collaboration show airing 5 days/week on YouTube. The channel is designed to highlight the crafting community, provide instruction and information to indiepreneuers, feature outstanding artists, and promote the ‘buy indie’ lifestyle.

We would very much like to expand our group of contributors, so we are now accepting video submissions. If anyone is interested in learning more on how to get involved, you can check us out.

The first week of the Indie 5 show brought us about 100 new subscribers and a ton of enthusiasm from the community. We really hope that everyone sees the show, gets involved, subscribes to the channel, and starts making their own videos."
