Facebook

Hi all!

Is there anyone else out there that has a facebook page, profile, or group for their crafting business? It's a great way to spread the word about your crafting... I've found it to be pretty helpful! If you have it, feel free to add me! We can help support each other!

My business "friend page" is under Artistry YouTaste and my page and group name is Artistry You Taste, just search for it on there and you should find it.

Look forward to connecting with some people! Also... has anyone ever used the ads on there? If so.. how successful were they for you? Anyone ever tried selling the Facebook Marketplace?

I don't have a facebook yet. I am tossing it around once I start selling things online. What other sites do you use? Thank you for the tip for the future as well!

I have a normal facebook, it doesn't have my crafts on it. Didn't think about doing it that way! Thanks for the suggestion..

I started a facebook page separate from my personal page just to show off some of my concrete stuff to my friends and family - like an online photo album. I have not seen any business from it, but when I linked it to my business website, the site views soared. Still no business from it.

I like it because I can interact with people, hear their ideas & feedback.
I don't sell from the page but it has a link/app to my store.
My statcounter shows tons of views from the fanpage.
Plus fans can suggest to their friends and their friends etc etc and hopefully we get more/new customers

Also I have added a reviews tab, only one customer has added to it but hopefully more step up, it's a good way for others to get a feel of you.

Hi everyone! I just started mine so it hasn't made any sales. Although a couple people have messaged me asking where to buy (I just havent set anything up! lol) I don't have an actual website or anything like that (yet)... I am hoping to get one soon though. I started a group as well and a fan page too but they don't seem to be too active yet. I am hoping it will be a good networking tool though.

Where does everyone sell their items? How helpful is having a website? How do you even set up a website?! Lol... I am so new to this!!

I think this my link....

I 'liked' you, while your on your page you can add in apps. You can also set up paypal on the page if you dont have a site. In the extra tabs or in albums you can set up whats available for sell.
Make sure on the page somewhere you put up how to contact you.
The more feeds/updates you write the more traffic you're going to get.
giveaways/contest are great 'liker' magnets. Maybe at 50 likers or something.
Theres always blogs too. On those you can set up paypal and info/sell pages.
Sites vary for everyone, if look around here a bit theres a few threads about different selling sites.
