Blog Handmade and Win!

We are coming to a close on the Christmas Season! There is only one Saturday left.  It's crunch time.  Everyone wants to bring in that last great sale!  Organic traffic is the best way to make it.  So, with that in mind, we are doing a no obligation event echoed from ArtFire's Promotional:

  

Tell the World About Your Favorite Handmade Gifts and You Could Win a Nikon Camera, a Kindle, or a Table Top Photography Studio!

We are hosting a blogging event at It's Better Handmade! Social Network! You're invited to join with us, seller, buyer or bystandard...and blog too! You don't have to be a seller to be a member of It's Better Handmade! It's really very simple, but there are a few things we strongly encourage!  

• blog at least 2 paragraphs
• link-it-up why hyperlinks
• you must have a Facebook or Twitter account.

We decided to do the blogging on Saturday at It's Better Handmade Social Network so that we build more content for Google to grab.  This gives Google a reason to index the site better, it brings up SEO and in turn, brings in more traffic.  More traffic is very good.  

This is a coordinated effort to partner up with Handmade Saturday, our sister site.  It's our turn this week! 

The event description is in Events page

The instructions are in forums...don't worry, just follow the prompts.

The blogging page is called our "Magazine".  We  have already had some early birds come and post blogs.  You can too, it you can't be there Saturday.  

We Have a Sibling Site!

We have a new sibling site!  

This site was birthed in ArtFire and Etsy forums!  Miss00 suggested making our own event like Black Friday and Cyber Monday and the idea stuck like crazy.  Everyone encouraged her to press forward with this event..then her doggie died.  She called for someone to pick it up...well, I and Ruthie from Rose Works Jewelry teamed up to work on this and an entire website and huge event has been born!

Along with this event and site 

comes the business page!
