Also, on your page under the right column (under your picture, ) you can hit the share link and post your page several places. If you don't belong to any of those sites, sign up! They are all free, and easy, and a great way to promote

If you have time this week, you can start adding our network to site submission services. Just type free site submission in the search bar. Click on links that come up and add http://directdeals.ning.com/ You will type a brief description (usually). You can link it directly to your page if you want, or to the main page. Either is fine with me. If we are all doing this, then the descriptions will vary meaning more hits! So, lets really work on this during the upcoming week!

If you haven't posted your sale items for July please do so! I have added some text boxes to the front page for you to add your store widgets. Once we get more members we will compete or win those spots- but for now it is just us! So have at it!

Welcome all sellers! Glad to have you here! I hope that everyone has gotten their pages up so we can really start promoting and Selling! I can't wait for our fist sell! If you have a blog, website, etc, please post our badge! make sure you Tag, Tag, Tag all of your pictures! That helps with searches!

I think our first step in promotions should be to invite our personal customers from our own lists to browse our shops. You can link them directly to your page here on Direct Artisan Deals. If you do a newsletter, that is a great way! Just add it in. I do a monthly newsletter, so I will add it in. I am also adding a blurb on my website about the site! Let me know what you all think and what ideas you have!
