FREE Marketing Tools Part 1

Circle Tags available from CreativeStoryTelling on Etsy

The best things in life ARE FREE! Who wouldn't love to grow their business and not spend a dime doing so? Here I will lay out a few sites that can help you do just that. With a little extra effort you can boost views and hopefully sales!

1. http://www.100craftlinks.com/cgi-bin/ldb/ldb.pl

you can list your shop here and it will stay up until 100 new shops add and you can than go back and do it again. I do this one about once a month.

2.  http://www.influxshopping.com/

here you get 5 years for free of items being showcased in their market place. http://www.influxshopping.com/marketplace/

its free so worth a try and keep an eye on it. Remember to log in and ACTIVATE the account.

3.  http://artchain.com/
 Where it says Submit Artist Listing, put your shop in. It has optional info I left out, and you can give shop link and get visitors.


4.   http://www.reddit.com/r/etsy

Reddit is so popular with people right now and there is an entire section of Etsy items. Add a couple items per week for boosted views!!  Its free to join and you can simply post and run should you wish!



Now how about some FREE business cards?

go to http://www.etsy.com/sell/offers

scroll down to MOO OFFER and click link.  or click link below.

New from MOO - order 100 free Etsy branded MiniCards, just pay shipping and handling (S&H). MiniCards are great for adding shop coupon codes, designing as bookmarks and of course to put your contact details and shop URL on. As with all MOO products, you can put a different image on every card.
Prefer full size Business Cards? MOO also offers Etsy sellers a free pack of 50 Etsy Business Cards, just pay S&H.
PS: This offer is open to all sellers worldwide - or at least anywhere the postman goes! Orders ship from the US or the UK.

After you place your oder click http://us.moo.com/refer-a-friend/
 here you can get a tweet that you can set up to reoccur and earn FREE cards. I am up to $15 but its a start!

More to come in the future as I find them!

    Thanks Bill. I need to look at the business cards. I didn't use any when I was at the Tucson Gem and Mineral show this month because mine are outdated and ugly. I need to get past the how to design and add pictures element and order some.

    Great list. Bill your right it does take a little time and commitment and sometimes not so ordinary ideas to get the best results. Its a good idea to use some free offline advertising methods too. Printing a dozen sheets of paper every month is one of our best marketing tools. On each line (black and white) we type our business name, url, email, and a short message about our service (double space). Then we cut the papers into strips. Put the strips in your pocket, now leave one every where you go. In a bathroom, on your waiters tip, try on a jacket leave one in the pocket. You get the point. Be creative, its fun.
