Tip Tuesday: Handmade Spark Blog and Directory

Hello from ESellerAds.

We are writing to let you know about our new site Handmade Spark!

Handmade Spark is a directory where you can promote your handmade business and get in front of buyers around the world. Handmade Spark sellers are actively promoted on our blog, on our newsletter, and on social networks and across the Internet. We are also starting to get press to cover the great sellers and items included in Handmade Spark.

Handmade Spark is also a blog with 12 writers. The blog includes content about the latest handmade trends, showcases the people and work that make up the handmade community, and educates sellers about promoting and buyers about finding great handmade goods all across the Internet.

Handmade Spark was launched about two weeks ago and is on track to have more than 15,000 visitors in the first month. You can join the Directory for only $12 per month to get all the great benefits we offer or you can also get a basic free listing if you just want to part of the Handmade Spark community.

TIP TUESDAY: How to take a screen shot of an Etsy Treasury.

When you are lucky enough to be included in an Etsy Treasury, you'll want to keep a picture of it to post in your blog or on your website.

I'm a fan of www.thumbalizr.com. All you have to do is get the direct URL and plug it in and this site does the rest. The only problem I have found is that it tends to cut off the bottom of the last row - so if your item is in the last row, this tool won't do you any good.

 

So, I've found a great post on how to take screen shots for you. It's from a website called The Curious Pug and it gives you the straight deal. You can find it here: http://curiouspug.blogspot.com/2009/12/tutorial-3-how-to-take-screen-shot-of.html It should answer all your questions, but if not, you can ask me and I will do my best to sort it for you.
