Some Etsy Tips I Came Across

<a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=27562879"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5357710422322914194" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8UILQ4RSPHlK2SMaOk_sHa8Uo8eQno2SM8iluY2VIMm333eTAi46w8ofkYrd1XpXs4XonBl5gNONevhM0aQZYdBuTJKWZAxiWBM16Llyq0TJ_1-8lOfWKb2DCYWvc5gD3XYYPS4PviaMw/s400/felted+bag+4.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 368px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" /></a><br /><div>I was in the virtual labs the other night for the critiques with HeyMichelle and thought I'd pass along some of the things I learned. If you've never been in the virtual labs you should try it sometime. It's super fun and I always learn at least one new thing. Not only that but it's a great way to network too. Etsy admin get to know who you are and may end up using you in a gift guide or who knows what else! I am convinced that the way to make good sales is to get picked to be either in a gift guide or in one of their emails. There is a newbie chat tomorrow (Monday) at 3. Get all your questions answered! </div><br /><div></div><br /><div>The coolest thing I found was this link in <a href="http://www.etsy.com/storque/how-to/from-etsys-merchandising-desk-hints-of-harvest-in-august-4345/">The Storque</a>. Etsy gives you a heads up about what sorts of things they are going to feature and focus on in the next month/season. Super helpful! This one talks a bit about July but focuses on August. Read between the lines and you may come up with some great tags that they may use to search for too. For example, in July they highlighted "Ruby Red." And in August they are talking about "long-term cool" (meaning clothing or accessories that can transition from summer to fall) and "build and layer" style. So a good tag might just be "build" or "layer." Anyway, read the article, re-tag, create new "autumn" type stuff and be in the know.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Another thing that HeyMichelle said is that if you ever hear about etsy being mentioned on tv (like Good Morning America) then list, list, list. Because they will be getting a surge of new people to the site and the first things they see are the newly listed items. I think here is where twitter comes in handy too. Usually if etsy gets mentioned on a show someone on twitter also mentions it. You could always check the morning show websites to see what's highlighted too. Martha Stewart has been known to feature etsy artists too. You rock Martha...even if you were a criminal...but I guess everyone has forgotten about that. Besides, she features etsy artists! Um, yeah. </div><div> </div><div> Another thing that I like to do is check <a href="http://craftopolis.com/">craftopolis.com</a> for when the next treasury opening is and list some new items so that people who may be searching for something for their treasury might come across mine and use it. </div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Here is another cool thing: <a href="http://www.google.com/intl/en/options/">Google Alerts</a>! You can sign up to be alerted when your shop name (or any other search term you may be interested in) comes up on google. This is a great way to find out if your shop gets mentioned on other people's blogs. Then if it is, you can twitter about it, put the link on facebook, put it in your shop announcements and thank the person profusely!</div><div> </div><div>Thanks to everyone who became a fan on facebook! I hit 100 fans and gave away a nice, matted 8x10 print. When I hit 200 I will do another giveaway. Maybe jewelry this time. Tell your friends! It's a random drawing so everyone is eligable. Fan me <a href="http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/pages/LilacPOP-Photography/84281519181?ref=ts">here</a>. Good luck!</div><br /><div></div>

The kids and I rode up with my parents and my husband drove up later in the week (he had to work). My parents rented a really nice house right in town.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpeyBhYJA6v07jFZmM823fi8koDEI0dQeZju2d1pMl8CJIYJWr9XdDvpGauZbt4X52_RK0YbyujJmY7z2Xzy0s2ItgCesxytxA8IijLhIv7haEzI28wbmpnM_FaaKi0yqZ3yeFa3IwLkzV/s1600-h/Tom+walking+beach.jpg"></a><div><br /><br /></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgf6Y27a-6TtPBcdW2c-hMoL9hblPyIjlMMJ9TFKrlItzgeAWOQtCtC4bGrWdFZDOvsiNun0cL9c38ws-kRjkp4QJUizQp4dwoNA57dvmstBBBAQPStgcgX5cAAwDOsMuO4MXeFmZXplkNN/s1600-h/Tait+standing+on+the+beach.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355776565800213538" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgf6Y27a-6TtPBcdW2c-hMoL9hblPyIjlMMJ9TFKrlItzgeAWOQtCtC4bGrWdFZDOvsiNun0cL9c38ws-kRjkp4QJUizQp4dwoNA57dvmstBBBAQPStgcgX5cAAwDOsMuO4MXeFmZXplkNN/s200/Tait+standing+on+the+beach.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 160px; CURSOR: hand" /></a> The first day we got there they had a nice little art fair going on and it was perfect weather! We strolled around and stopped at the beach so the kids could put their feet in the water. My daughter kept begging to go swimming once we got to the house but we opted to get groceries instead. I wish we'd listened to her! The next day was sunny but chilly and we froze down by the water and then it rained and was cloudy and really cold the rest of the week. But I got some great dramatic and stormy pictures!<br /><div><br /><br /></div><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355776564098023314" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBycID7S-a3iI_yVIrHfargjwOK2jzzGRAlTZlIMmOYK8F-eS70fblTUiyZs4w8Ca6PzPgxcbF-5Odet-SOzbRwzp6ovNAElDfSc33S_OWGp23nakilrygv64EJ1vqEvmH9ZbrAHiPmuOt/s200/Justy,+the+planner%27s+snack.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 154px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" />My 7 year old daughter is the planner in our family. I think it's a gene that got passed down to her. She's always worried about what we are going to do next. My dad and my husband took her fishing and she outlasted them! The photo above is my husband holding up the little bag of snacks that she packed. She even wrote, "Snack for fishing" on the outside!<br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjppS4mpREzj8ZXU_8y3mrI_QIWC1RJiGQS8dtTaES8seP5wsTNqq3EfhVpbFbgTJld95hmOIQkMRabqAHxSb_5QJ73Zsmh6VAtgBKw7Vu9IIbaU1eccNl36kEH4lTf5aDepRpFiPqWCkix/s1600-h/justy+tait+walking+beach.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355776558488263490" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjppS4mpREzj8ZXU_8y3mrI_QIWC1RJiGQS8dtTaES8seP5wsTNqq3EfhVpbFbgTJld95hmOIQkMRabqAHxSb_5QJ73Zsmh6VAtgBKw7Vu9IIbaU1eccNl36kEH4lTf5aDepRpFiPqWCkix/s200/justy+tait+walking+beach.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 134px; CURSOR: hand" /></a> Most of our days there were like this.
