Promoting Creative Friends!

Good morning! So guess I will do more than one blog a week. Well, this week anyways.
 
On my path to being a successful  etsy.com shop owner, I am now learning to market myself and the usefulness of promoting other shops.Yes, Promoting OTHER shops! The idea behind this is that if you help promote a fellow Etsian they will in turn promote you to their friends and fans as well. That means you are getting your name out to people who other wise would have never heard of you. So far this is working for me. I am getting more views in my shop. I have went from having no views, or just a handful when I post a new item, to averaging about 50 a day this week. I know this doesn't seem like a lot, but it is a marked improvement over nothing!

  Therefore, in my quest to help promote myself by promoting other great and talented artist, I want to introduce you to a few shops that have popped up on my radar!


If you need something to keep your little critters warm you need to stop by and see Lindsay at  Little Paws! she makes warm sweaters and clothing for your canine friends! to easily find her shop click on the link below!

I love anyone who up cycles items that they have found in thrift store ect. Its a great way to save yourself some money and have unique items that are usable. but lets face it, not all of us are crafty or we may just not have time to do it our selves! So here a nifty shop on etsy that will do just that for you! Deb's up cycles (and crochets too!) by Deb smith. her shop consists of pillow covers, gift bags, trivets, and coaster. All from items she has up cycled! Please visit her shop and help us tell the world about reinventing old things!
