(Bird Gang by Petit and Cute Design)
I put a call out on the forums of Folksy and Etsy, where I run my shops, to see if anyone would care to join me in my challenge to list a new item every single day throughout April. I keep hearing that this kind of frequent and regular listing is a great way to really boost your presence in these big online marketplaces (and obviously would boost the number of items I have in the shop which can only be a good thing too).
It seems like there are lots of others who also wanted to get their act together and needed a little push too - which is great - nothing like a little peer pressure to help get you moving.
So the plan is that each day in April we'll be logging into the forum to show what we've listed, those of us who blog will be running posts and features using fellow listing club members goodies. And on twitter we'll be using the tag #listingclub, or #folksylistingclub to find each others' items and retweet. I'll give you a round up each week on the blog of how it's all going.
Two days to go and I've got about 10 items made, and took some pictures over the weekend. I'm thinking it's going to be hard work to get the rest of it sorted - thats five new items a week to make, photograph and list - what have I let myself in for...... wish me luck!
Leave a comment below if you're going to be involved!!
i'm totally in, sounds like loads of fun.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait! I've got about 4 things made and ready to list, and 4 things half made, will be doing the finishing touches to those and get those ready in the next few days!
ReplyDeleteAll set and ready to go, I hope! I popped it in my blog to say I would be doing this, so no backing out now.
ReplyDeleteI don't have twitter, so it will only be my blog and the Forum that I can let you know what I'm doing, - sorry, 'technologically' challenged.
Good luck everyone in the April Listing Club - we're all Folksy Foolers!
Best wishes, Natalie x

I'm jumping in with both feet on this one and perhaps don't know what I'm in for, but it sounds terrific! I'll definitely try this challenge and give it my all. All the BEST to everyone who also is excited to participate. Thank you so much RedBird! :-)
