etsy teams

In my ongoing quest to sell some of my cards, I've joined a few different teams through Etsy.  What's a team, you ask?  That's an excellent question.

A team is a group of likeminded artists and artisans who work together and promote each others' work.  In the EtsyTwitter Team, we promote each other via Twitter.  In the EtsyGreetings Team on Google Groups, we share marketing tips, crafty advice, and we show off our work to each other. I also belong to the Chicago Style Crafters, and our common link there is our location.  The CSC is particularly awesome because they work together on local craft shows.

So far, what I've been getting out of these groups is dependent on how much I put in.  I posed a question to my Twitter team, and I got a bunch of helpful responses.  I'm relatively new to EtsyGreetings, but I've made at least one business contact, and the members have given me some good ideas, one of which is possibly wholesale to local shops.

Well, off to an Etsy lab for EtsyTwitter!  :o)
