I love this...
Another Etsy seller who is absolutely wonderful, was kind enough to share findings the other day. The program she found is called Animoto.
What is Animoto?
- It is a program that produces TV-quality music videos using your photos in just minutes.
How does it work?
- Choose your photos (about 20)
- Upload your photos to the program (very similiar to uploading photos to your Etsy listings).
- Choose a song.
- Click complete.
The program puts everything together and VOILA, you've just created your first absolutely fabulous 30 second video!
But what does it cost me?
- Well, if you know me, you know that I love free! So, of course this program is absolutely FREE!
What do I do with it now?
- I'm in the process of looking for places that I can advertise add my new video. So far, I've found Flickr, YouTube, Facebook fan page, and my blog but I'm still searching!
So go forth and create!
Having trouble with tags, tiles, and keywords?
Are you having trouble choosing those perfect tags or writing a captivating, informational titles? Well, really, who isn't!
I'm in the process of redoing my tags and titles, so that I can basically get the most bang for my buck. I've been reading through articles and websites and compiling relevant info to use. I figured there was probably others out there with my same dilema so I figured I would share the info I've found!

Free Tag Suggestion Search Engine:
- http://craftweasel.com/TagToolQuery.do
- This free search tool allows you to enter a tag or 2 and it will build a list of suggestions of tags based on the tags other people are using for similiar items!
These 2 were the some of the best pieces of information I've come across so far as I find more, I'll be adding new info!
Good luck!

Website to help with SEO for your shop
Well, I was wandering around the World Wide Web this morning when I came across a very interesting website. Said website provided me with oodles and oodles of information that left me wandering if they could help me in optimizing my Etsy shop for search engines.
What was the website, you say, well it was http://www.websitegrader.com/. What does it do, you say, well let's see;
- you type in your Etsy shop URL and it analyzes your site and lets you know what's good and bad about your site in terms of SEO (search engine optimization).
- it points out the things you can improve upon including how long to make your shop announcement, how long to make your site title, how to improve your keywords, etc.
- it also lets you know your Google page rank, how many inbound links are coming to your site, if your included in directories, the last time Google crawled your site, your traffic rank, etc
- it also issues you a website grade (yeah just like in school) and if you make some of the improvements it suggests you can see your grade improve!
- and you can set it up to compare your site with another (a competitor for instance), allowing you to see what they're doing that your not and vice versa!
AND BEST OF ALL ITS FREE!
Anyway, I hope this might be helpful to someone, I know it was to me!
Good luck!
