Hello, Ohhhh, this is too early for me. I am just going to work. Have to do my assignments later this evening and report probably after dinner. I haven't done anything yet, but I am planning! This looks like fun!  |

Almost done. Some very good tips and advice. Thank you so much. Instead of listing on Craigslist, I've placed a few ads on Kijiji. I'm still figuring out the smartflyer.ca site. I think theyre asking $20/mth to promote your business. Am I reading it wrong? Till next time... Cheers!! |

I'm certain to post your business listing is free. Maybe sign out and then sign in again and I think in the upper right hand corner there is a button that says post FREE AD

With a weary eye (been a long work day) I went through your list and looked at 3 things:
SmartFlyer - I knew it was for Canada but I wondered if I could promote to Canada through it. Don't think it would work for a US seller.
CraigsList - read rules, regs, how-tos and I would need to deliver locally rather than do an online thing. They do not allow online sellers (other than selling individual items locally). Although I do sell to local people, I don't think that is for me as I am skittish of meeting unknown people for delivery. I am still thinking about how to position this.
HOWEVER, I got a lot out of the BOOTCAMP GOALS - they made me think. I thoughtfully answered them for planning for these 28 days!
And, I made a committment to blog posts these 28 days, starting with one about the iCraft Sellers Bootcamp.

Awesome job everyone!
I'll list a few more on Craigslist over the next few days...is there any way of telling how many views a listing has had? I'm new to Craigslist.
The free aspect of SmartFlyer seems to be to post a coupon, or discount. I did that this morning...still pending approval from their admin.
I'm lovin' the new signature line with my shop attached!
Have a great night all!

What a great idea! I have a blog that I haven't really gone anywhere with but I think that blogging about Sellers Bootcamp may be just the thing! |

Nearing the end of the day for me! I have some photos to upload, hopefully I'll be able to create another listing tonight if some photos are decent. Then I just need to look further into SmartFlyer and finalize my goals, I've been brainstorming on them through the day.
I found that I had a large amount of creative energy/spirit today and started a few bracelets and sketched out a few pendant ideas for after the baby comes and I can solder without worrying about the little ones development. I'm wondering if anyone else felt the same?
Off to finish my assignments and looking forward to tomorrow!!

Well, I think it's safe to say that the first day of Sellers' Bootcamp was a success. I see many have done their homework. And even if it's one thing that you've managed to do today, that's still great! That's more than nothing, and that’s a start. I just wanted to say that we are here to support you, so please let us know if we can do anything else to make things easier for you. Looking forward to tomorrow! Thanks everyone! |

Okay, I am behind, but enjoying this anyway.
I set up my gmail account and my signature lines for email.
That took all the time I have today. Thank you for this bootcamp. I am sure we will all get something out of it.

Sorry, I'm confused about the difference between the Check Out and the What Happened threads... Do we need to post to both?

Sorry so late. Life got busy.
I did add my iCraft shop to my signature line on Gmail. Never had it there before, like it wasn't important.
Put a link to this shop on my FaceBook.
Haven't decided what to do about business cards. I currently have cards for my personal sales website and two Etsy shops. I haven't made cards for this shop as it is so small. Perhaps I should make a card with both Etsy and iCraft Jill's Treasure Chest on it?
Will take some time this weekend and look into Craigs List.
Will blog about my shop here.
Will get a paid shop and list more items.

Good for you!
We're cheering for you. There is relief knowing that some of the activities are repetative an dget easier.
You may want to jump to assignement 11 and 14 so you can get in the polkadotpixel draw and the opportunity to get a bit of exposure. Also the next item is indie smiles... free advertising oportunity.
Send me an email if you need a hand with either of these two items or any other item... just email me! We've got lots of help on hand!
Cheers
Christine

Thank you for that email reminder, Christine I'm way behind here, been stuck with some not very fun non-icraft related stuff! But I've had a chance to scan the postings and it looks very interesting! Rita. |
