Ok... I am just busting to see a great long list of super duper new products here all with their links and if you have a chance to come back tell us any interesting twitter stories about it.  Check your views too!

I'm waiting on my Washi paper, so I can't finish up the item I'm working on... But I did relist my Orange Circles.  I had the book open, so I chose a different first photo. Here it is:

Went over to twitter.  What's the #craft listing all about?  Is it our own secret code for bootcamp?   :lol:   {:-Deb

I'm going to be thinking hard about today's assignment while I'm at work....the "selling oneself" part is the difficult part for me!

I listed a new lampwork focal bead..."Chocolate & Caramel" in my shop, and tweeted about it.

Here's the link...I've been taking new photos, I like the darker, neutral background.

Have a great day everyone!!

I have gone into Twitter for Storybeader and I try to Tweet, I just cannot!  I was able to put a comment for you, but I have never figured out how to Tweet or Retweet.  I cannot wait until we learn about this in Bootcamp.

When I get home tonight I will post my latest project for everyone to look at.  I hope you all like it!

Super... I will go and look at it and tweet it on Twitter for you so it will get blasted out to my 2300 followers.

Say... if an hour later GalleriaLinda wants to check out what's new with our bootcampers' products but only has a 5 minute coffee break she can do a twitter replacement using ....#icraft...  and all of our bootcampers new product tweets will come up.  That WORKS ONLY IF YOU USE #ICRAFT somewhere in your 140 characters.  

Make sense?... very efficient and zoom zoom!

LOL... secret code... ur a very funny girl Smiley

Thank you for reminding me that some of you may not be using Tweetdeck a free twitter program that makes it soooooo much easier to twitter and stay organized. Maybe I will make this a priority in tonights homework.

Although we are focusing on LOCAL SELLING Twitter is very powerful to build your product views which is important so we get noticed by google... yadda yadda.  But what is amazing to me is the incredibly valuable contacts I have made in my local region that have brought me SOME MORE CUSTOM SALES... GO FIGURE HUH!!!

Twitter pays off... which reminds me I better get back to work as I have  small drapery  and about 10 wholesale pillows for this twitter acquaintance. Yahoo!!!

Cheers
Christine

Well, I took the plunge!  I had a free account for the last year and really didn't get any traffic.  Yesterday, when I was looking at all your lovely stores, I noticed that I was very attracted to the ones with more than 5 items in them.  I realized that a buyer would also be more attracted to my store if I could list more than 5 items.  So, I upgraded to the Starter level and I noticed there was a discount for doing 12 months at once.  So I did it!  I started listing more items yesterday, but here is today's new item:

https://icraftgifts.com/member_product_detail_clothing.php?fmRecKey=18954

My views on yesterday's items are great!  I just wish there was an importer feature.  I have my shops on Etsy and Artfire all set up with 30-something listings and I would love to just zap them in.  I'm also noticing that I'm having to re-size every image for iCraft - which makes it take longer.

I have very few local orders, which doesn't make sense since custom sizing would be even better if I had a body for fittings.  I'm looking forward to learning how to expand local business.  I don't do craft shows though.  They are always a waste for me, since most everything is custom made I don't carry an inventory of items to sell.

Callidora, I clicked on your avatar to get to the shop.  The link was a back office link, I think.

I love the Ghostbuster outfit!  That movie rocked in it's day!

Christine - I re-read your post about Twitter above, and you have convinced me that it is a good thing.  I never could get into it - posting everyday, unexciting words.  
Does it really work?  :shock:  
Can you really connect to the millions of people out there?  :roll:
It'd be great if you (and others) can teach us how you can really use it.  Smiley
