Fantastic and very useful article, thanks! I haven't heard of some of those sites but will check them out. This is how my day goes: Etsy, Flickr, Blogger, Myspace, Facebook, Etsy, Flickr, Blogger.. etc. hehe. I wonder what outdoors looks like this time of year...

so many great suggestions!! i'd beware of seeing getcrafty or craftster as social networking though -- i think your shop could easily get blacklisted by fellow crafters for 'spamming' what are supposed to be community message boards. perhaps indiepublic.com and myspace.com are better suited for that category?

Really wonderful article! I liked the suggestion of putting our shop names as one of the tags for our items, but I just tried it, and my name is too long. Any advice for that? (Other than an attempt to be less verbose...)

You are the Bomb, daniellexo! I changed my avatar when I got home the day I found your article and I just spent today creating a blog and signing up for inclusion in the ring. It took a lot of time and I understand how some would be reluctant to make the effort - maybe even losing sleep - to set it up. I also have a physical boutique/art gallery I run alone and, even though my free time is valuable and kinda short, I'm going to try to do at least 3 more things for marketing my Etsy shop on your list - which is great and had stuff I didn't know about on it - (hopefully) figuring out at least one a week until such time as I have to go back to my most of the year 6-7 day work week, in March. Thanks for taking the time to write the article and, hopefully, I'll be able to put something just as useful (especially to newbies such as myself) up there as well some day!

Very good art

Thank you! I'll be looking into making some of these improvements. Also, I wanted to mention sk*rt as a really great networking site...they are more oriented towards women and moms, so that might be a good connection for some sellers here. : )

This article was just what I needed to read at this very moment. Thanks for filling it with so much information, you've saved me hours of research time. I work full time and find I am often too busy to artfully maintain a blogging site. I have a friend who has a site on Flickr and she's told me that the moment I'm not so busy I should create a site there as well. When she opened her Etsy shop not too long ago having contacts on Flickr helped her immensely and she sold out immediately. At this time I'm more interested in marketing through Etsy directly and I do wish there were more options available that weren't so hard to break into. I guess I'll just have to try pouncing for a treasury and I'm definitely going to add my name to my items, that's a great idea that never occurred to me before. Thanks for taking the time to research and write this article, what a help!

Thanks. The article left me inspired to know that I am doing a couple of things right and that a year is a realistic goal. I don't like it either when sellers leave a big add on my comments.

This is a topic that has always been a bit of a mystery to me. People often say sign up on myspace, get a flickr, blog, etc. I've got that and more but I've yet to give it such a systematic approach as you laid out. Thanks for shedding some light on this important and rarely discussed in such detail topic.

Talk about losing sleep, I don't think I've lost this much since the birth of my 4th child! But I know it will pay off in the long run, especially when you are as passionate about what you do as we all are. It is a priveledge to network w/ such like-minded, creative and motivated people and I'm looking forward to making many new friends and customers this year! Thanks so much for your insightful input! I have so much work to do :)
