Get a backdrop- or at least a piece of white poster board and some good lighting to make your item stand out! Favorite many people and their items! Networking really does help! I make tons of treasuries, and in return I get featured in other people's. Teams are great, join a few of them and try to be as active as possible- share your items, share your treasuries. Use your entire title character limit- instead of putting something like "blue bottle cap necklace" put "beautiful cobalt blue fashionable up cycled bottle cap necklace made from recycled materials- save the earth" or something. (you get the point!) Lots of Facebook, pinterest, twitter, and word of mouth promotion also helps to get more people to your shop. Good luck!!<br /><br />Melissa from www.etsy.com/shop/theartwerks Melissahttp://www.facebok.com/theartwerksnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-44832948234424872.post-84379069464082633402013-03-15T11:33:10.006-04:002013-03-15T11:33:10.006-04:00I agree: teams are great and resource to be used r...I agree: teams are great and resource to be used right away! I absolutely LOVE upcycling in any way possible, have you heard of TerraCycle? AWESOME company. The most recent example I have of upcycling is a friend painted a bunch of toilet paper rolls, bent them at the ends for feet/ears so that they looked like owls! She filled them with a few small candies each and sent her son to school with really fun Valentines to pass out to his second grade class!
