Good morning
Here's what I've got for today:
1)Follow 50 of these potential customers on Twitter. - Done!
2)Send at least 3 Tweets today about you or your own stuff. - Done!
3)Got to 3 other bootcampers sites and send 3 tweets about something remarkable about their stuff.
I tried to select a variety of pieces to Tweet about, so these are the 3 bootcampers that I promoted this morning on my Twitter:
Petrified Wood Necklace by Jewelry Without Borders
Barn Yard Tags by Mostly Sundays
Country Cutie Goat's Milk Soap by neatTreats
4)List one new item on icraft or refresh a listing. - Listed a new item, Done!
5)Free Local advertising on google Here is where you can get yourself on the map in your community.
Ok, here I have to say that I have a problem with this, as it's a matter of 'SAFETY'. It sounds like you have a B&M store? That's awesome and good for you if you can advertise your physical address.
However, for those of us who only have our home, it is *not* advisable to list your home address EVER if you run a small business from your home (especially for jewelry makers). I have easily well over $15,000 in gemstones and precious metals in inventory, never mind the thousands of dollars in tools as well (I'm a metalsmith & lampwork artist) so listing your own home address anywhere online is inviting trouble.
It is simply not safe in this day and age. Home invasions, theft, etc, are rampant everywhere. It's very unfortunate, but unless these sites allow us to list just a weblink and an email address, I'm not willing to put that info online.
I tried to list my business on the Google page you gave us, and they make it mandatory to fill-in the address field complete with postal code and phone number. I don't even put that information on my business card or on the envelopes that I use to ship out my orders (I use our commercial mail box address/PO Box address on my return labels).
So I would really advise against this unless a person has a commercial 'real' Brick & Mortar shop.
