Running An Etsy Sale But No One Knows? Tips For Making Your Sale Visible!

I promise that this is the last post that I'll link from Handmadeology for a while.  This one walks you through a couple different ways that you can promote your Etsy sales on Facebook and Etsy itself.  If you've never used some of the Facebook fan page tools before, this will be helpful.

Postcards are a cheaper alternative to regular cards for numerous occasions: sales announcements, thank you cards, save the date, etc.  The bulk prices through this site are pretty good.  I originally researched this idea when I was thinking about ordering cards for Jake's med school graduation.  I ended up making my own, but I kept this link as well as a couple others in my bookmark list for future reference.  You can also check out 123print.com and vistaprint.com.

SEO Made Easy Part 2: Choose an Effective Keyword Phrase

This article was published back in the winter, but with the new Relevancy default on Etsy, it is more important than ever.  It also includes details about using the Google Keyword Tool.  If you are not using this already, I highly recommend starting now.  I know that I have talked about it before, but I can't stress it enough.  It has been a huge help for me both on Etsy and HubPages.

Spraypainting Outdoor Furniture: A Step by Step Guide

Spray painting old furniture or pieces that you bought used it a wonderful way to extend its lifespan.  My mom bought me a used two drawer file cabinet right before Jake and I moved into our new house.  It needed to be refinished so she spray painted it.  It made a world of difference.

I was going to do a pumpkin round up here on my blog for one of my fall link lists, but HubPages did a Weekly Topic Inspiration for Thanksgiving recipes so I did it over there instead.  The good news is that you can still check it out: 10 Pumpkin Recipes for Thanksgiving.  That's my recipe link for you for today!  There are a couple of them that I've linked here before, but some of those recipes are new to me or I haven't posted them here before.

Did you use one of the resources, tutorials, or recipes from my link list?  Leave me a link in the comments or send me an e-mail (randomcreative28@gmail.com) with your photos and stories.  I would love to post them here!
