Giveaways!

Giveaway- ends 2/3/10- offered by Jabba's Design Hut
Being new to Etsy, I was wondering how to promote my shop. I noticed some other sellers were managing to get a whole lot of store traffic. According to the community blog, they said they actually made enough sales to quit their day jobs and do their crafts fulltime; my lifelong dream! I am learning their is a lot more you can do that beats the daylights out of sitting around and waiting for someone to stumble upon you among thousands of other vendors; one of the best things is to sponsor a contest giveaway. There's even a blog dedicated to the practice. It's not Etsy run, but it's something some other sellers put together to market their shops. Very cleaver!

There are so many giveways, there's sure to be something for everyone. (Gosh, I hate that cliche, but I said it anyway because it says it the best). It's a great place to look around and see all the handcrafts being offered. I was, as always, impressed with the talent and creativitiy of some people. It's so inspiring to see what other people do.
