Tip #3 to Improve Our Etsy Shops

Social Networking!.............. EeeeGads !!


It's like oatmeal peanutbutter raisin cookies. You tell yourself they are good for you because they have raisins and oatmeal but actually they are just a beautiful disguise for an ugly butt building ball of sugar which I am now AGAIN horribly addicted to - thank you -Thanksgiving, Holiday Parties, Christmas, and New Years Eve (Why Stop Now!)



So these are Good For Me:



Etsy Teams, Flickr, CafeMom, Facebook, Yahoo Groups, and visiting blogs (like 60+ and growing)



AND I just joined TWITTER! Am I crazy??????????????????



Not really because I joined, invested time and gave up on:
EONS, Squido, Kirtsy, Digg, DIY, Instructibles, VEOH, StumbleUpon, Technorati, Blogorama, and I'm sure others I have forgotten Oh ..........Craftster, Craft Juice, Blogher ......



I hate YouTube for networking .............Too many rude people & minimal crafters. I have 9 videos there of craft projects, but I think tutorials are enjoyed better by craft mamas.



And I refuse to return to My Space - nasty comments and very few crafty types



Social Networking is loads of fun and GREAT for building friendships and business but must be taken in small regulated doses like a controlled substance or it will ruin your life like a heroin addiction (I assume). It will consume your life and you will forget your TRUE LOVE, the Art of Crafting



So BE CAREFUL or just like me with sugar, dough, nuts, pie, and peanut butter - an intervention will be in order.
Mine is scheduled on Jan 1st:(
