Simply Shiny Life

Flickr is an awesome free tool to organize and share your photos. According to the site “Flickr is the best way to store, sort, search and share your photos online. Flickr helps you organize that huge mass of photos you have and offers a way for you and your friends and family to tell stories about them. “

Basic membership to the site is free. With free access you get:
• Space online for 100 MB monthly uploads
• Up to 3 sets you can create
• Ability to post any of your photos in up to 10 group pools
• Smaller (resized) images are accessible (though the originals are saved in case you upgrade later)

Purchase the Pro Account for $25 annually, and you will get:
• Stats! Including view counts and referrers
• Unlimited uploads, storage, sets, etc
• and a bunch of other cool attributes

I have a LOT of images stored to Flickr. I just love the site. It can be a TOTAL time waster though, fair warning. I can’t tell you how much time I’ve wasted browsing available photos from the millions of uploads.

Many indie crafters and artisan use Flickr to showcase their work. If tagged and described correctly it appears in google and other searches and can be used as an additional method to put your work in front of a HUGE audience. But Flickr is NOT a selling venue. As I was researching Flickr use, I found a few threads in the etsy forum that might make interesting reading for artists, crafters, indie shops and other handmade craftspersons. Based on what I gleaned from all the info here is a short list of do’s and don’ts:

1. Do create your profile and put your shop, studio, site, newsletter, etc links in it
2. Do put your store name in your tags (as ShinyAdornments NOT as http://shinyadornments.etsy.com)
3. Do put etsy or artfire, etc in your tags
4. Don’t put a link to your store in your description
5. Don’t mention the item is for sale in your etsy store in your description.
It is against Flickr’s Terms of Service to use Flickr for commercial purposes. You can find more information here http://www.flickr.com/guidelines.gne
6. Don’t mention the item is for sale AT ALL in your description
7. Don’t tell users to “see you profile” for information about you in your description
8. Don’t add ‘sold’ or ‘available’ to your description
9. Do add your pictures to pools in which you think they might be a good fit. To find more about pools, visit this link http://www.flickr.com/help/groups/

To add your images to pertinent pools/groups:
Once you are a member of that group, go to your Flickr page and choose
•  ORGANIZE
•  ALL YOUR CONTENT
•  Wait for your pictures to load to the bar at the bottom of the screen
•  Pull the pictures into the part of the screen that says “DRAG ITEMS HERE TO EDIT THEM AS BATCH”
•  Click the link in the top navigation that says “SEND TO GROUP”
•  Choose the appropriate group from the listed ones available.

Here are some links from the etsy forum for you to peruse:

How do you use Flickr? What do you like about it?

If you haven’t done so already, I’d encourage you to check flickr out. You can see all my photos at my Flickr pool here www.flickr.com/photos/shinyadornments

In a previous post, I provided a list of venues for artists, artisans and artisan crafters. This week I’m profiling another of those sites on my blog.

I asked Natalie from iCraft to tell us a bit more about her venue. And right now, if you join iCraft, you can save 25% by joining in 2008. If you register with iCraft.ca before the end of this year, you will receive 25% off on all subscription fees permanently! Learn more here: http://www.icraft.ca/pr08-11-01.php

What is the site name: iCraft

Where can artisan sellers find you?
A Flickr Group! http://www.flickr.com/groups/i-craft
iCraft on Kaboodle http://www.kaboodle.com/store/icraft.ca
Twitter http://twitter.com/iCraft
iCraft.ca on Facebook! http://www.facebook.com/pages/iCraftca/7670217021
iCraft Group on Indiepublic http://www.indiepublic.com/group/icraft

There are a few blogs where Creators mention us. http://inkonmyfingers.typepad.com/ink_on_my_fingers/2008/04/icraft-the-cana.html
http://bloghandmade.blogspot.com/search/label/icraft.ca

What is your plan for the site? What are your goals?
We want to make iCraft.ca the best site possible for Creators and Visitors to showcase and purchase unique Art, Crafts, and Fashion items from around the world. We look forward to iCraft.ca becoming the most recognized source of original handmade products.

Who is your target seller audience?
Anyone who is highly creative and passionate about their talent! The Seller must be the original designer, creator, and/or producer of his or her art, craft, or fashion. Absolutely no ‘re-sales’ are permitted.

Who is your target buyer audience?
People who appreciate and enjoy owning unique handmade items and finding “hidden gems” created by international artisans, whether for themselves, a special occasion, or as a thoughtful gift.

Is this an international, domestic US, Far East or European focused site?
iCraft.ca is international. Our slogan “Creativity without borders” reflects our belief that creativity is a worldwide trait and enjoyed by different kinds of people from around the world.

What differentiates this venue from other online selling venues? Why should artisan sellers consider utilizing this site as a resource instead of other, older sites or their own sites?
iCraft.ca works to promote our Creators and respect their talent. Firstly, we don’t charge any commission on sales. In addition, we regularly feature Creators in our “In the Spotlight” section and actively work to build a sense of community and mutual appreciation between Creators, Buyers, and administrators.

We also provide Creators with marketing tools to promote their Exhibits, such as bookmarking to social media sites (http://www.icraft.ca/forum/viewtopic.php?t=431), submissions to Google Base (http://icraft.ca/forum/viewtopic.php?t=493), RSS feeds (http://icraft.ca/forum/viewtopic.php?t=519). “Live Help” and Twitter integration – are coming soon!

We strive to provide remarkable customer service. We try to respond to all email inquiries within 2 business days. However, most customer emails are answered within 24 hours.

How have your structured your seller pricing?
We keep it simple: we don’t charge commissions on sales! Creators keep all their profits.

Instead, Creators pay a small one-time registration fee and monthly subscription fees for using our services.

One-time registration fee is required in order to verify the seller’s identity, ensure credit card validity, and to encourage honest and successful transactions. This preventative measure gives buyers confidence that they are dealing with serious, honest sellers.

Creators then have subscription options based on how many products they would like to display in their Exhibit. We offer free listings for up to 5 items, with subscription packages starting from $5.00 CAD per month. We also provide great options to help save on the subscription fees, listed below.

1. Save 25% By Signing Up in ’08 – If you register with iCraft.ca before the end of this year, you will receive 25% off on all subscription fees permanently! Learn more here: http://www.icraft.ca/pr08-11-01.php
2. Pay Fees Upfront – If you pay your annual subscription fees upfront, you can save 10% on all subscription fees. Learn more here: http://www.icraft.ca/pr08-11-22.php
3. Refer A Friend & Get 3 Months Free – Refer a friend to iCraft.ca and you will receive 3-months of free service with unlimited product postings! Your friend will receive 6-months of free service! Learn more here: http://www.icraft.ca/pr08-07-28.php

Note that all of our offers work in combination, so free services and discounts can accumulate quickly to save big on subscriptions. To view our full Pricing Policy, please visit: http://www.icraft.ca/pricing.php

What else should we know?
As with any site, ours is a work in progress. However, we are constantly looking for ways to improve and promote the site and its amazing Creators. We view our Creators as equal partners and co-contributors. Their ideas and suggestion are what drives our development and we are continually working to create a strong sense of community with all iCraft.ca users. We embrace technology and open collaboration and plan to incorporate many more exciting features, including web 2.0 features on the site. So stay tuned, there is much more to come!

Stay tuned over the next weeks as I will be profiling more artisan handmade selling  venues with interviews and giveaways from the site owners. You can find this site’s traffic rank according to Alexa here

You are an artist, handmade crafter, handmade designer, why would you want a Google Alert? Better yet, what are they? According to Google, “Alerts are email updates of the latest relevant Google results (web, news, etc.) based on your choice of query or topic.  Ok, you ask, why do I care?

So why would you want to use it? Setting up an Alert is a simple, user friendly way to keep on top of when and where your shop or store front or name has been mentioned somewhere on the web, such as a blog post or front page highlight, etc. Its also a good way to keep up on posts in your favorite blog, or your competition.

How do I create a Google Alert?
Really, you just need to visit http://www.google.com/alerts and enter the key words you would like to use and your email address. See the image below for example.

Then, anytime a new article or blog post or page update happens online and the words you have chosen are a match, you will receive an email update.

So, what should I use for keywords?
Pretty much anything you would like, but to start I’d enter:

• The name of your shop
• Your etsy shop link
• Your artfire shop link
• Other key words you would like to keep informed, such as the key meta tag you use on all your blog and web pages.

For instance, I have Alerts set up for

• “Shiny Adornments” – in quotation marks so Google matches the exact term
• “Shiney Adornments” – common misspelling of my business name
• shinyadornments – my business name
• shineyadornments – common misspelling of my business name
• shinyadornments.etsy.com
• shinyadornments.artfire.com
• artisan handmade jewelry

Google also offers you the ability to edit, change, delete your existing alerts here
http://www.google.com/alerts/manage

So what are you waiting for?

A big thanks goes out to my top entrecard droppers for the last month!

I’ve opened a new shop on Artfire, and you know what? So far so good. I posted previously about this new site for selling handmade items.

I figured since this was a brand spanking new site, maybe I should have new, updated photos of the items I was placing in it. I’ve spent the last couple of overcast weekends shooting new photos (the ones on the left) and am posting some of the comparisons here . I used a really simple set up..natural stone tiles and a (FREEZING!!) overcast day.

These items and more are available in the new ShinyAdornments Artfire shop.

In a previous post, I provided a list of venues for artists, artisans and artisan crafters. This week I’m profiling another of those sites on my blog.

I asked Adela from Silkfair to tell us a bit more about her venue. And right now, if you join Silkfair, you are automatically registered for the weekly Join & Win new user giveaway – prize: a 25$ AMEX Giftcard. If you set up a shop with 4 or more free listings, you automatically enter the new seller giveaway – prize: a 50$ AMEX Giftcard. See more info about these promotions below.

What is the site name and where can artisan sellers find you?
Silkfair and our headquarters are at www.silkfair.com

Because we constantly work in promoting our shops and sellers, we also have accounts in different social communities like:
Twitter: http://twitter.com/silkfair or
Facebook: http://facebook.com/people/Silk-Fair/1285596740

Tell us a little about your site’s history. What are its origins?
Our name takes its roots from the trade routes for commerce called “Silk Route” or “Silk Road” established by the ancient civilizations of China and India through the Middle East up to the Mediterranean Sea. The ancient trade routes bridged the East with the West and greatly influenced the development and flowering of these great civilizations, helping to lay the foundation for the modern world trade patterns. This is how Silkfair was born. The rest is history.

Tell us about the site’s staff.
There’s a whole team constantly working to further develop and improve the site. We have our in-house programmers coding and building new features, our support guys testing and answering all your calls and our marketers and community managers reaching out and promoting the venue. We’re the small world that strives to make Silkfair what it is: an online selling and shopping revolution.

What is your plan for the site? What are your goals?
We’re striving to open up new markets and to build a trusted service to help buyers and sellers alike.

Who is your target seller audience?
Anyone over the age of 18 can be a seller on Silkfair. If you are under 18, you may still do so with the permission of (and under the guidance of) a responsible adult.

Who is your target buyer audience? How will you drive buyers to your venue?
The short answer is that anyone who wants to buy something will probably find it within Silkfair either now or in the near future. To detail more, we can talk about 2 different aspects. At Silkfair you’ll find handicrafts, collectibles, electronics, sporting goods, toys, jewelry, antiques, clothing and the ultimate in one-of-a-kind gifts, all in one place. Soap makers, for example, will probably not sell to other soap makers, but they will sell to toy or antique sellers, while the toy makers will always find a piece of jewelry to buy for their wife, daughter or friend, right at hand, under the roof of Silkfair. So one type of buyer is right under our own nose.

At the same time, our marketers reach out constantly in different other communities and shopping forums; we also promote the service through banners and links, while we also provide our sellers the badges and widgets to do it on their own, too. This interview itself is a way to reach out. The Wall Street Journal reference was another one.

Is this an international, domestic US, Far East or European focused site?
It started as an US focused platform, but sellers and buyers from all around the world started to join so we became international, a global marketplace for buyers and sellers alike.

What differentiates this venue from other online selling venues? Why should artisan sellers consider utilizing this site as a resource instead of other, older sites or their own sites?
Well, first of all we don’t want to stop sellers using their own sites. You can set up your own store, with your own name and we will even give you your own URL, under the Silkfair domain. If you wish, you can also bring your own domain name. We don’t want to mix everybody with everybody; on the contrary, we strive to differentiate each seller for what makes him/her unique and leverage that uniqueness as a selling point toward buyers.

In terms of features, our team has developed a platform that merged the best features that can be found everywhere else with new ones that nobody else has. Except the free shop and free listings, Silkfair provides free blogs and forums for each user, a video feature that allows sellers to showcase their items right on the spot, Google base submission and bulk upload options. Plus a one step checkout, to help out both sellers and buyers.
Beside forums and blogs, we also developed chat rooms and an in-store minichat for sellers to make real time contact with their buyers, to discuss about custom orders, pricing, different colors or just chit-chat and share a coffee while miles away.

We have also just released the Ebay import listings features and we’ll be launching Etsy import listings, too.
What else is important?
The double tagging option which allows both sellers and visitors, buyers to tag items they like accordingly and the store category tree which allows sellers to create their own store categories, specific to their business. Nothing less but the best for all our users.

How have your structured your seller pricing?
With Silkfair, except for a 3% sales fee, sellers have a free ride: free shops, free listings.

What else should we know?
We’re currently in the middle of two giveaways:

Join & Win weekly Amex Giveaway for new users (full details here: http://www.silkfair.com/forum/thread/763).
and

Tell & Win program for current users, a monthly program that awards top 3 members with a lustful shopping spree. (full details here: http://www.silkfair.com/forum/thread/787)
There are 11 prizes we give away on a monthly basis: 2 each week for new users and new sellers and 3 for the top current users. As our community likes to say: You sell. You shop. You share. A winning combination.

Also, we want to wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Stay tuned over the next weeks as I will be profiling more artisan handmade selling  venues with interviews and giveaways from the site owners. You can find this site’s traffic rank according to Alexa here

My friend and team mate, Vicki from Orion Designs has written another simple to follow tutorial to make handmade earwires, with a bit of a twist, from sterling silver wire.

Making ear wires is such a great way to either get into using wire and/or perfecting technique. You’ll be able to practice :
1. Measuring accurately
2. Bending and spiraling the wire without making tool marks
3. Making two matching wires
4. Hammering
5. Filing
6. Using several different tools for different applications

Happy bending!

Vicki says:
This style of earwire has been a bestseller for me for many years. I offer it almost exclusively as an interchangeable earring, which I sell in sets with 5 different pairs of drops. (See the image below)

Cut a 3″ piece of 20 ga half-hard sterling silver wire. At one end, make the smallest, roundest loop you can with round nose pliers.

Using your favorite pair of pliers (I use my bent nose pliers with a coating of Tool Magic), set the loop in the jaws of the pliers, close to the joint. With your thumb, coax the wire up and around the initial loop to start the spiral. Reposition the the spiral and repeat until there are 2 1/2 revolutions.

Flatten this spiral. Here, I’ve used my rolling mill, but this could be done just as effectively with a chasing hammer and an anvil or bench block.

Place the flattened spiral in the jaws of the pliers and bend the remaining wire back at a 90 degree angle. With the other earring in the pair, you will bend this wire toward you at a 90 degree angle. This will create 2 earrings that are mirror images of each other.

Place your round nose pliers just past the bend and using your fingers, bend the remaining wire straight up. This will create the space where your dangle will go.

To create the part that goes through your ear, I use a size 13 aluminum knitting needle, as shown in the photo. I find it helpful to do both earrings at once, to ensure that they are the same length.

Using a chasing hammer and anvil, flatten the top of this curve. This will work-harden your earwire even more and provide the desired “springiness”. Don’t forget to file the ends and make a small bend in the end, if desired. You can also toss all your newly created earwires into your tumbler to make them a bit more sturdy and to shine them.

Thanks again for sharing Vicki!

In a previous post, I provided a list of venues for artists, artisans and artisan crafters. This week I’m profiling another of those sites on my blog.

I asked Karen from HyenaCart to tell us a bit more about her venue.

What is the site name and where can artisan sellers find you?
The site name is Hyena Cart: http://hyenacart.com .

Tell us a little about your site’s history. What are its origins?
Hyena Cart was born out of the internet’s thriving cloth diapering community. Members of this community are so obsessed with cloth diapers, that they will literally (ok, figuratively), *stalk* their favorite sellers’ stores, waiting for them to stock their extremely high-demand and hard-to-get items. These shoppers have been known to clean out a store within seconds of its items going live. Before Hyena Cart, the sellers used traditional shopping cart software, but the software allowed oversells and tended to crash under the heavy loads of crazed ‘hyena’ shoppers. So in 2004, I set about learning how to code in PHP, and started Hyena Cart as a way to sell my own items, which were pretty popular in their heyday, and to help other sellers who were having these issues.

Over time, Hyena Cart became the hangout place for a lot of cloth diaper shoppers, and more sellers started to join, just to take advantage of the traffic and the ease-of-setup allowed by the code. At this point, HC has expanded far beyond cloth diapers, although these stores still form the main core of the shops. We now have jewelry, bath and body, fine art, toys, clothing, yarn… but all the stores are tied to the main theme of being earth-friendly, which is a nod to our cloth diapering origins.

Tell us about the site’s staff.
There is myself (Karen), the owner, operator, and code monkey for the site. I am also helped by a dedicated crew of community members (Michelle, Becky, Trista, and Conny) who help answer support tickets, moderate the forums and work through buyer / seller conflicts.

What is your plan for the site? What are your goals?
I would love to see this site continue to grow and reach those who would be most interested in its offerings. However, it is not my goal to turn HC into a massive business. I’d like it to remain privately owned and operated, without outside investors, so that I can always feel free to work in the best interests of the HC buyers and sellers, and not be tied to profit goals.

Who is your target seller audience?
My target seller is the individual who is looking for the chance to sell his / her handmade objects online, to a wider audience than s/he can reach via craft fairs or an independent website. I think the sellers that do the best are the ones that join the community and have the same warm, all-welcoming, open attitude that is the hallmark of our forums. We are also not strictly limited to handmade items — we have resellers of reclaimed clothing, as well as resellers of wholesale items.

Who is your target buyer audience? How will you drive buyers to your venue?
The main target is anyone who is looking to purchase unique, one-of-a-kind, eco-friendly items for themselves and their families, with an emphasis towards those with younger children. However, as we continue to evolve, I think that target will expand beyond parents and children to just anyone who is looking for all-natural, handmade items to replace their mass-made counterparts (for example, cloth “unpaper” towels to replace paper towels, handmade wooden toys to replace plastic ones, handcrafted soaps made of natural herbs and oils rather than synthetic detergents and fragrances). Finally, like any other handmade venue, I think our target buyer is someone who is looking for something that is truly unique and made with care and attention.

Up until now, traffic has been driven to the site purely through word-of-mouth and I’ve found that that has the highest chance of bringing the right people into our stores. However, in 2009, I will begin placing banner ads and possibly some magazine ads to reach more of our target audience who may not have wandered in just yet.

Is this an international, domestic US, Far East or European focused site?
Most sellers on HC are based in the US or Canada, although there are some European sellers as well. The cart code allows for selling in several currencies including US and Canadian dollars, Euros and GBPs.

What differentiates this venue from other online selling venues?Why should artisan sellers consider utilizing this site as a resource instead of other, older sites or their own sites?
Hyena Cart is actually quite different from other selling venues. Each store can customize its graphics/styling to the point that it’s very close to having one’s own site, rather than the ‘cookie cutter’ look most venues force sellers into. So a seller can get that individualized look, while also benefitting from the centralized traffic brought together by having so many stores in one place.

One of the main features of HC, and one that the buyers use multiple times per day, is the stocking calendar: http://hyenacart.com/calendar.php . When a seller lists new products, they appear on this calendar, and buyers use this to check out what’s new for each day. Many stores are also on a regular stocking schedule (for example, every Tuesday night at 8:00), so buyers know when to expect fresh listings.

In addition, the original basis of the site, trying to get high-demand items into buyers hands in a fair way, has led to many unique ways of selling items beyond the traditional, ‘add to cart’ and checkout. For example, sellers can choose to list their item as an auction. Or, if there really are a ton of people clamoring to get that one special item, sellers can list a product as a ‘lottery’, which means that all interested shoppers basically throw their names into a hat, and at the end of the listing time, one person is chosen at random to be the one that gets to make the actual purchase.

Another fun thing that has evolved on HC is the congos (short for conglomerate). These are collections of sellers who band together, forming a store with multiple smaller storefronts, each selling a uniquely different product. A couple of great examples are Universal Mama: http://hyenacart.com/Universalmama and Necessitae: http://hyenacart.com/Necessitae/ . These congos are great for both sellers and shoppers — sellers get to showcase their items among other talented artisans, and shoppers get a feast for the eyes, all on one page.

Also, funny you should mention the word ‘older.’ At four years old, I believe HC is actually one of the oldest selling venues of this nature. We’ve just been small, and growing at our own pace, so we’ve been under the radar.

How have your structured your seller pricing?
Pricing is very simple — it’s a one-time setup fee of $10, then a flat monthly fee of $5 if images are hosted outside of HC, and $7.50 if a seller chooses to upload images directly to HC’s server. There are no listing fees or commissions, and so far, no limits on the number of listings per store. In addition, if a seller takes a break from their store, they do not need to pay the monthly fee — their store will still be active, but they will not be able to add/edit listings until a monthly payment is made. I’ve tried to structure this pricing to be as simple and affordable as possible.

What else should we know?
Gosh, I feel like I’ve gone on and on. I think the thing to remember is that no venue is going to be the magic bullet that propels a seller’s sales into the stratosphere. The name of the game is to have a unique and well-made product, market it spectacularly (including top-notch photography and descriptions), and then bring in the shoppers via advertising, forum posting, etc. The right venue might make this easier, but if a seller has the product, the marketing, and the traffic, then s/he can probably succeed anywhere.

Stay tuned over the next weeks as I will be profiling more artisan handmade selling  venues with interviews and giveaways from the site owners. You can find this site’s traffic rank according to Alexa here

My friend and team mate, Vicki  from Orion Designs has written a simple to follow tutorial to make handmade earwires from sterling silver wire.  Happy bending!

Vicki says:
I’ve been making my own earwires for many years. What follows is a tutorial for a very simple style that is a great way to get started.

I start with 3″ – 3 1/2″ of 20 ga half-hard sterling silver wire. If this is your first time trying this, you might want to practice with copper wire before cutting the sterling!

Hammer about 1/4″ of the end of the wire flat using a chasing hammer and either an anvil or bench block.

Next, using your round nose pliers, make a small loop at the flattened end.

Placing the round nose pliers just above this loop, make a bend in the opposite direction, as shown in the next 2 photos.

In the photo below, you can see that I’m making the curve that will go through your ear. Here, I am using a size 13 aluminum knitting needle as a “jig”. A Sharpie pen works well too.

To finish the earwires, hammer both the top curve and the small curve at the bottom where your drops will go. This hardens the wire and dresses it up at the same time. Don’t forget to file the ends and make a small bend in the end, if desired. You can also toss all your newly created earwires into your tumbler to make them a bit more sturdy and to shine them.

This final image shows an example of Vicki’s earwires used in a pair of lovely prehnite earrings she created.

Thanks for sharing Vicki!
