finding my way through the world of e-commerce

Selling your product is hard.

Selling it on-line is even harder.

And that's why I am so glad to have re-connected with Bethan Davis and The Craft Star, not only does she understand the importance of promotion...she promotes!

The Craft Star is a great venue to share your handmade goodies, vintage finds, and much needed supplies.

The newest trend is google+ and Bethan is helping all of us to jump on board that train; with chats, and hangouts, and now with The Craft Star 6 week media boot camp, and it's open to everyone, 

not just The Craft Star sellers.

Take a peek at week 1...

So, she (and her amazing team) is not only helping us learn to help ourselves, but they actually DO things for us...wonderful Rhonda from Steampunk Beadery made me this video business card...

Plus...they host "meet the artists" shows...here's my first (and so far only one).  It was so much fun!

I have to say....if you're not selling on The Craft Star yet, you really need to CHECK IT OUT!!!

Are you on google+ yet?  Come and find me there.

Be blessed,

Debbi

look what I found on twitter

I like twitter.  I use it a lot, mostly because it is so easy to share stuff with only one click.  This morning I thought I would check out what others are tweeting about....and share them with you.

wow, I love the color of this silver red agate ring by riorita.  this is NOT just a stone glued into a setting, Irith is a very skilled silversmith and handcrafted every part of this beautiful ring...and she offers free shipping from Israel.  Plus I know Irith, and she is not only a talented jewelry designer, but also a super nice person.

When I saw the tweet for orange slice string art, what first came to mind was the traditional string art of the 70's, but what I found was this way cool acrylic painting of an orange slice with string in it.  I love the color, of course, but I also started to drool looking at it because it looks delicious.  You can find this at 

cathy savels paintings.

The last thing I'll share is this really cool facebook page I found...crafthunters.  Ok, to be totally honest, it was this picture that got me hooked. hahaha.  That is so me, and most of my friends, huddled over our crafting tables, cackling like a bunch of old hens...

It's actually a Russian page, translated in English, and has some totally cool do-it-yourself crafting ideas.  

I liked it. :0)

So, what do you tweet?

Be blessed,

Debbi
