Before long, I expect to have 100 likes on my Facebook page. As I've said before, I'm pretty new to all of this. I wrote my first pattern three months ago, and immediately opened an Etsy store in order to get that pattern to the people who had requested it. https://www.etsy.com/shop/AuntieJewelrybyJulie?ref=si_shop I then set up a Facebook page for this brand new business. The trouble is, I had no idea what to do with it. I let a few close friends know about it, and as of Tuesday, I had 12 likes. That was more than fine with me, because there was nothing on the page to see. While taking a class on how to sell on Etsy I learned that a blog will help. I still didn't know what I was doing when I started this blog, but I took it on faith that my teachers, Shae and Cloe, knew what they were talking about.
On Tuesday, I shared my few posts onto Facebook, and then it looked like something was really starting. I decided it was time to ask friends and family to like my page. That was two days ago, and I'm now watching for my 100th like. Someone said it pays to have a large family....after laughing, I started to wonder how many of these nearly 100 likes were family. I looked at the list and it was only 24 out of 90 something people who were family. Then I started finding names that weren't even Facebook friends. This has given me a renewed enthusiasm to list more jewelry for sale. (just in time to go off grid for the weekend. I'd better do something to work on those listings off grid)
As a thank you, I will be giving a $10 gift certificate to Fulya Kazar who is the person who gave me the 100th like, and a coupon for 10% off for everyone else during the month of September. https://www.etsy.com/your/shops/AuntieJewelrybyJulie/coupons?si_ys_dd_coupons=#100LIKESONFACEBOOK I'll also be adding more items during the first week of September, and watch for a Birthday special. I'll give you the gifts for my birthday.
When I figure out more how to tweet, I'll have the same deal. $10 for my 100th twitter follower, and a discount for everyone when I hit that level. https://twitter.com/AuntieJewelry1
