G if for gift

Today I decided to find a way to share what I have learned about all things related to my endeavors with online sales of my Gwynstone Originals handmade gifts.

So many virtual pals have helped me, many who do not even know they did. I also love the blogs that highlight others great items they make. So many creative and talended types out there.

So -- this blog may fizzle like some of my others, but I decided to start it anyway. Maybe I have learned a thing or two about how to get blogs read? Time will tell.

At teh very least it can be a place I read to remind myself of all the great information, sites, techniques and friends out in cyberspace!

So -- first thing I have learned recently is you have to have good tags. So -- I have online sales venues at several spots, Ebay was the first, then ETSY and now ArtFire is fun. I have also tried Bonanzle, Silkfair, OLA (online auction house), and do have my own dinky web site that links to them all.

I am most impressed with twitter marketing right now, http://www.twitter.com/gwynstone I think that most of my recent sales on ETSY have come from there. If you are one of my ETSY pals, or sell on ETSY the best tips I have come from Tim Adams of Handmadeology.

Of all my online selling spots I sell the most on Ebay (I am a power seller there and have 100% postive feedback - over 680) but, I love Artfire for the savvyness of the site but no sales I have not worked very very hard for there, ETSY chat and realted things is my hearts home. Here is a great social network for Etsiers. http://etsylove.ning.com/
