HandmadeMovement has the following requirements:
TEAM RULES
1. Everyone is welcome to join.YOU MUST READ our TEAM RULES and CRITERIA and agree with our TEAM PURPOSE. http://www.etsy.com/teams/7565/handmademovement/discuss/9620097 The Captain/Leaders will create threads of interest to the team so no one will get lost in the mix. Any concerns or questions can be convoed to them.
2. PLEASE understand that we are NOT a SELF-PROMOTION Team. Please abide by this rule. If you'd like to show us a new item or something special occasionally, we would be happy to chat with you about it and look it over in our regular thread only. We enjoy seeing each others' work but our main purpose is to promote our "victim" and other shops, not ourselves. Our purpose is to Make A New Shop's Day!
3. As per our Guidelines and Criteria: Members or their Friends and Family are NOT eligible to be Sneak Attacked.
4. Since the purpose and mission of this Team is to Sneak Up On a New Shop or a recent shop with few sales, if you join our team, we REQUIRE you to participate in some of the Sneak Attacks AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH by dropping by the Sneak Attack threads and supporting the shops that are chosen. You do not have to purchase anything unless you want to, but you can chat to keep the thread going, heart shops and items, make Team treasuries and promote them through your other social media. If you do use your other social media please post it in the thread for that day so we will know you have done so; it will count toward participation. It is not expected that you have to be at every Sneak Attack, but it would be great if you can. Also we would like to get to know you better and would love to see you around our regular Handmademovement Unite thread. We need help discovering new shops, offering encouragement to newbies who wonder if anyone really sees their art, ask for advice on how to improve a listing, telling 'first sale' stories, etc. Here's a quote from a previous "victim", Summer said: "I have the sneak attack team to thank for really getting me going on Etsy. I was on the verge of giving it up when you guys found me and I want to help others get going too." I don't want ANYONE giving up - that's why we're here! And, FYI, Summer is well over 100 sales now - woo hoo!
5. From time to time the team captain and leaders will monitor the Sneak Attacks for attendance and if the they determine that you are not meeting this basic ONCE A MONTH requirement, we reserve the right to remove you from the team. If you are removed, you are welcome to rejoin at a later date when you feel that you can participate more regularly.
6. We hope you'll love Sneak Attacks so much that one day you'll want to "lead the charge" and give Sponsoring a shot... the first time you do, we can even pair you with an experienced person! Hang out in the Handmade Movement Unite thread and Sneak day threads and you'll see how it works. You can check out what you need to know to Sponsor on the Handmademovement.blogspot.com and in our Sponsor Schedule thread http://www.etsy.com/teams/7565/handmademovement/discuss/9047106
7. Choose to stay informed in one (or more) of the following ways:
a) click "subscribe to email digest" there on the left side of any page in this team - it's one email summary a day, and it's very handy!
b) subscribe to the reminder emails (this is an email from Stockannette on Sneak days, which gives you the start time and a link to the thread for the day) by signing up on the convenient sidebar on HandmadeMovement.com.
