I have a question:

I have several different sites and I just recently started an Etsy shop. For me to promote my shop is it a good idea to have all my usernames the same?

For example:

My YouTube, twitter: artcrazed

Etsy, blog : IglooIguana

and my DA account is totally different.

Should I change some around? Restart my YouTube?

Thanks for the help! <3

I think it's a great idea to have your usernames match! That way, your customers always know where to find you. And if they don't, they can just Google your username, and one of your accounts will come right up in a search. :)

Good luck!

Thanks again for the advice. I will do all of this and I know that over time I will reap a good crop, so to speak.

Keep up the great work you are doing : )

This video is very helpful to me, a newbie on etsy. Thank you for sharing. I especially appreciated the breakdown of the sales into four areas to work on. I feel as if I cannot get a real handle on the networking part, like twitter, facebook, and all but am giving it a try. Thanks for being here. Great video!

Thank you so much for your comment! Social networking can sometimes be a 'hit or miss' experience. Just keep putting yourself out there, meeting new people, and good things will eventually happen. I think of social networking like 'planting seeds'. It can take some time for the sale to happen, but you just have to keep planting. :)

I also recommend hanging out in Etsy forums and chat, as well as listing new items and refreshing the older ones.

GOOD LUCK!
