Do you feel overwhelmed with all the things on your to-do list? All the great ways you could be doing to promote your business?
Social media can make anyone feel that way too. Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram, Google+ (what else am I missing?)… none of these help with your feelings of overwhelm.
Which ones can get you the most sales?
In the video below, I talk about two ways you can approach this dilemma and figure out which social media is right for you, if any at all.
My favorites are Facebook (Tiny Hands Jewelry is approaching 20,000 likes here!) and Instagram (@tinyhandsjewelry is at 9,000 fans in less than 9 months!).
Over the last 30 days alone, I’ve made at least $3,000 in sales from just Facebook, according to my Google Analytics and via my Soldsie sales.
But I haven’t always been so focused on my social media. Watch the video to find out more!

I watched this video and your lengthier presentation and open discussion on pitching to bloggers. I do plan on contacting bloggers in the near future; I have been told that compiling an email client list is key to growing an online business…I am starting to participate at craft fairs and hope to begin to compile a list but don’t have my own domain or web site as yet…is that essential for following up with the client list or can I do without for now? (I have the ETSY site and a Facebook page in addition to other social media sites but have not been posting consistently as it is a big time commitment as you point out and I have been concentrating on refining my shop aesthetic and expanding/diversifying my inventory…there are just not enough hours in the day!)
Hi Laurel! Not sure if you received my email on your comment but I thought to share this here in case anyone has similar questions as you. That way they can benefit from my answer as well!
You can definitely do without a website when you start to build your email list. I do agree that it’s key to growing your business! Social media can come and go, but your email list stays with you because it’s yours.
It’s good that you have at least your Facebook and Etsy site set up. Until you can find the time to do more marketing in those areas, focus on your craft fairs and build that email list! Good luck Laurel, keep me updated on your progress!
