Trying to make my Etsy shop more visible..


There are lot of new things that I am trying out to promote my Etsy shop as much as possible.
I am trying to get more visiblity through different sources.

Last night I bought the Flickr Pro account. It was getting more and more difficult with each additional pictures. With free account, only 200 pictures are visible and I already have uploaded over 320 images in less than a month. I have made a definite sale through Flickr so thought it is a good investment from both personal and business point of view. Now I can organize each album in seperate sets and create collections and so on.

I also joined Twitter as according to few threads on Etsy forums thats the next "in" thing..lol..
I created this mosaic for sidebar so my creations can be seen whoever visits my page at Twitter. I learnt it from this thread on Etsy forums.

I added few more calendars and note holders to my Etsy shop. Last week was pretty dry. Didn't have any sale except for weekend. Got a custom order as well but nothing to brag about. I am not sure yet what works and what doesn't! I am trying to establish myself before the actual holiday sales picks up.
Lets see how it goes!
If you have any suggestions,tips or your success stories, please do share! I would love to hear it :)

Later!!!
