Pow! Pow, pa-pow, pa-pow pow pow! A cool weekend at my Etsy shop-Gamut. It had been 'dead' there several days, like it was invisible. 118 hearts. No sales. Doldrums. I checked it at 4pm...nothing. Checked it at 11pm. Something had happened. Something weird and wonderful. A locket that I had made in Feb had jumped 300 hits and 20 hearts. I love a mystery. Looked through all the treasuries-alot. Not there. Checked the front page-not there. What could have done this? So-I sent a text to one of the people who hearted (marked it as a favorite) this item and she replied that it had indeed been on the front page of Etsy. And while it resulted in only 2 sales-it gave me enormous free publicity! I only wish that somehow I could have been notified. Then this morning I received a convo from a woman in Spain that I was in her blog. Another first! It is a fantastic experience to receive this validation. As an artist? Maybe.
I read an article-and then the thread from the comments on how to make a living from your blog. Is this for product endorsement? I love a mystery. Beautiful day.
