Todays Kudo's goes too......

As much as I'm trying to learn everyone's shop names and what there products look like you have to admit there's a lot of us. So what I am TRYING to do now is when I recognize someone on the front page or in the "Etsy finds" or even gift guides as I peruse through! I am going to make a Kudo's in honor of them. Starting with today's.




Today I would like to give kudos too She's Batty Designs for getting into the Etsy Finds email. I have actually seen this card several times this month.

Saturday Sales Pitch

OK So last week I spoke on SEO (Search Engine Optimization). This week we are going to move on to a listing of some interactive Twitter sites.

First off a GREAT article Done by CraftyGaGal called How to gather and Track Statistics on Links You Tweet on Twitter, gives alot of great tips and talks about Hootsuite. This is a program I personally use for my twitter account. Not to mention you can have more then one twitter account with it and just click back and forth in between them.

Anywho though I think I have gotten off subject.

Some of the best links are as follows:

http://twitter.grader.com-this lets you see how well you are doing on Twitter
http://twitseeker.com/- This is a great tool to use when looking for people with same interests and stuff.
http://retweet.it/index.php- Other people will help get your tweet spread out to ppl who may be of interest but are not yet following you. This works VERY well, as long as you do the same! It goes on a points system.
http://tweetgrid.com/- This is something new that you can toy with. I haven't fully figured it out yet!
http://truetwit.com- This is great for if you have complete strangers wanting to follow you! This way you can know for sure they are not bots.


Now on a side note! If you wanna make some spare change with your twitter as well! Try a cpl of these!!

So NowI leave it up to you! Get onto the group at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/forestcitycrafters and let us know IF you tweet, and if you tweet what is your username and also tell us what you think it does for your business.

Lets get some communication going here.
