&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#39;ve been trying them since I came here but I won&amp;#39;t be using them any further. I&amp;#39;ve tried my own threads, posting on other people&amp;#39;s threads, commenting on other people&amp;#39;s items and, to be frank, the effort simply isn&amp;#39;t worth the result. The Promotions forums give off the feel of a lot of people desperate for any little glimpse of attention they can get and, for me at least, it feels like posting there is an acceptance that you&amp;#39;ve lowered your expectations. They move so quickly that any post you do make will be buried within a few minutes. I think there are much more sensible uses of time for promotion and marketing.

I know some people like them but, I guess, it&amp;#39;s just not for me. It makes me feel dirty! :)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Every one has to find their own comfortable way to promote. I like to join in others forums to see what people have to offer and join in the chat. I have had sales from that. If you aren&amp;#39;t getting any traffic at all then a reasonable amount of time spread over several programs consistantly is worth the time.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Thanks so much for the great tips you gave here! It&amp;#39;s a good guide for starters. I&amp;#39;m not a great admirer to Promotions threads though... I prefer other topics.

But I like forums and to chat on threads and your tips may be very helpful.

&lt;p&gt;Good article. I personally think Promos is a great place to promote and network, but it must be used appropriately. It&amp;#39;s easy to overuse and get burned out on or become disillusioned with. I like to post every now and then and have fun while I&amp;#39;m there!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I am still so new to etsy that I am willing to research and try out ideas.I figure they have worked for some in the past...they just might work for me in the future.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I am sitting on the fence on this one.  If everyone is posting and responding to get exposure, then who is buying? I am thinking of having a survey in my shop to find out how people are finding me.  i find other vendors when i am poking around the listings, something catches my eye, i heart it, then buy it when i am ready.  is it different for others?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This is an interesting thread especially for Newbies,
I have put Promo on here for Easter but not much effect, as it gets wiped off so quickly.
So now Twitch the Easter Bunny is very sad, as she cant give away her Free Swarovski Gifts in her lovely Easter Eggs,See my shop announcement.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Maybe I&amp;#39;m a little confused but wouldn&amp;#39;t it be better to do things that pull in customers from outside Etsy instead of relying on selling to each other??  I feel it is not a good strategy to hope for most of your sales coming from other sellers.  Just like I don&amp;#39;t expect most of my sales to come from my friends and family.  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It is probably a good idea to use other networking sites blogging facebookk etc. to pomote your etsy shop maybe get new peop;e to check it out that way&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This is good article and it is got pros and cons. It did bring me more traffic after I started using facebook and twitter social networks. I think we are exhausting our resources after some time, and we need to replenish them somehow. &lt;/p&gt;
