EtsyTwitter Team

I am proud to say that I am a new member of the EtsyTwitter Team!

For those of you who are not familiar with Twitter (where have you been?!), Twitter is a real-time social networking site where you update your status by "tweeting" with 140 characters or less.  That's pretty much all there is to it.  I compare tweeting to updating your Facebook or MySpace status.  The thing I like most about Twitter is that you're not wading through peoples' long-winded, heavily-coded profiles.  I've found that you can learn a lot about people in 140 characters or less.  I've also found that it keeps me from being verbose: I say what I mean, and I mean what I say. 

As an Etsy seller, I'm always thinking of ways to increase my customer base and exposure.  My sales have been in a slump since my craft fair, and I'm looking for ways to get my shop out of this rut!  So, I applied to become a member of the EtsyTwitter Team.  The team leader was only accepting 25 new members, and through clock-watching and diligence, I got in!

There are requirements for being in this Team, and that's what really attracted me to it.  I'm in a few other Etsy Teams, but they seem far less structured and active than this one. 

If you'd like to see what we're tweeting about, check us out!  If you search for the hash tag #etsytwitter, you can find what members of our team are making, finding, creating, listing, selling, etc. etc.  If you're an indie designer, enthusiast, supporter, lover, or all of the above, there are a lot of great resources on Twitter.

I'll be tweeting about this blog post soon.  :o)
