Artists Supporting Artists is our mission for this team and the Etsy branch of the It's Better Handmade Network. We are a global group of creative souls that want to help promote and teach our friends on Etsy.
The hope of our team is to help artists better learn to market themselves and develop their online presence by working together to promote each other.
Basic Guidelines: I's Better Handmade is a group focused on Handmade treasures made by the artists.
-Please tag your items for treasuries and individual listings with IBH.
-The hash tag for Twitter is #ibhandmade. Any tweets with the hash tag will be retweeted by IBH and other members.
-Participation is greatly encouraged, but not necessarily required. Try to at least post once a week, and no less than once a month; after all, you get out of it what you put into it!
