    I looked at Tiffany Han’s (Moore) blog and checked out her top 10 for 2012. This article jumped out at me…

    http://www.tiffanymoore.net/blog/2012/4/9/why-sharing-is-bullshit-and-you-should-stop-being-nice.html

    I’ve been struggling with oversharing and possibly losing business because of it. This was a message I needed to hear.

  43. Lindsay says:

    I checked out Launch Grow Joy’s blog and saw this article…

    http://launchgrowjoy.com/10-sites-every-etsy-seller-should-subscribe-to/#

    As an Etsy seller, still learning the ropes as I’m jumping full in, I need all the help I can get. I’ll be subscribing and adding the sites in this article to my Pulse reader.

  44. Lindsay says:

    On Handmade Success’s blog, I chose this article…

    http://handmadesuccess.com/2012/01/5-marketing-misconceptions-busted/

    I read this one last year and it helped me tremendously. I followed the points and stopped stressing about whether I’m charging too much. I still think my prices might be a little low for the one of a kind product I make, but I’m working it out. (did the price visualization the other day and increased prices, it’s starting to feel right)

  45. Lindsay says:

    The article that caught my attention on Start of Happiness was…

    http://www.startofhappiness.com/power-delayed-gratification/

    “choosing healthy to get energy later” is the one sentence that hit home and it’s 10 seconds into the article. He makes a lot of good points. I need to bookmark this one and journal about it when it’s not 4am. ;)

  91. The Start of Happiness, has some great posts this one was written to me for sure. Can’t Sleep at Night? Here’s Why You Should be Jumping Out of Bed!

  92. 1. Shared on FB with joy.
    2. Already Liked you on FB, but went and checked just to be 100% sure! (username: Terra Dei Farm)
    3. Pinned the pants off of it. Pinterest Link: http://pinterest.com/pin/6966574395576759/
    4. Tweeted faster than you can say “Tweet”.
    5. Already follow you (and love you) on Twitter.
    6. Not exactly a blog post- which are all good – but I really (really) liked Tiffany Han’s “My (Real) Story” on her website. Genius and right on the money.
    7. Oooooh, I also love and follow Andreea – so it is hard to pick a favorite Launch Grow Joy post. I went and re-read some favorites and decided -at this moment in time – “Do you use this word in your sales calls and emails?” – is quite timely for me. Its an oldie, but goodie.
    8. I really enjoyed “5 Marketing Misconceptions, Busted!” on Handmade Success – but will definitely be going back to add my name to the newsletter and read more!
    9. I could really relate to the “Can’t Sleep At Night” post on The Start of Happiness site.
    10. I’ve mentioned you and this give-away in this blog post: http://www.terradeifarm.com/blog/name-goat-january-giveaway

  93. Janet Perry says:

    I’ve put stuff on FB & Twitter & followed you.

    My pin is at: http://pinterest.com/pin/268808671480657200/

    My favorite Tiffany Han post is the one about not sharing. In my niche, needlepoint, people want you to share & tend to get cranky if you actually do more modern marketing things, such as email notices. I need to do better about not being nice.

    My favorite Launch Grow Joy post is about getting more Pinterest followers. I’m doing pretty good on Pinterest but want more followers.

    My favorite Handmade Success post is about making your blog look more professional. My blog needs a redesign & I’m taking her advice to heart.

    I blogged about the contest at: http://www.nuts-about-needlepoint.com/contest-to-improve-your-creative-business/

    In the post you’ll see some of my motivation for entering. I’m a needlepoint designer, teacher, writer & evangelist. I want to make needlepoint the knitting of the next decade.

    BUt it’s tremendously hard. I don’t fit into most categories, so I have to adapt everything. It’s an odd niche so people tend not to understand it. And, worst of all my audience is made up of two groups with opposing ideas about marketing. The Baby Boomers who stitch resent people who aren’t establishment (like me), want people to play nice and don’t like modern marketing (they hate me because I”m not establishment promoting stuff when they are fine with establishment people doing so). But younger people like what older people hate.

    I want to attract lots of new people without losing the old, so it’s tough and I’d love to win to get your help.

    Keep Stitching,
    Janet

    Tiffany’s post “I’ve been wanting to tell you…” really spoke to me this morning,
    Launch Grow Joy’s post “Reader tips: How to sell your products to stores” was really reaffirming to what we’ve been looking at doing with our business,
    I’ve been a fan of Handmade Success for awhile now, and one of my favourite posts is still “The Best Gift” from December 18, 2012

    Loved Tiffany Hann’s January 10 post – “I’ve been wanting to tell you…” – she nailed me!

    Shared the post on fb

    Alreadly liked “Marketing Creativity ” on Facebook

    Visited Launch Grow Joy and watched the video question about having your own website…very timely for me as I was just making that decision!

    Went to Handmade Success and re-read the post about 5 marketing myths…I had read that before but it was a great reminder as I start my marketing plan for 2013

    The Start of Happiness had a great post on what to do when you are having problems sleeping…I should really follow some of those suggestions now that I seem to be a permanent insomniac!

    #10…well I would love to have 10 entries but blogging and linking are probably beyond my technical capabilities…I can do the blog, it’s the linking!

  140. I wrote this blog in support of the this give-away and all the wonderful people taking part in it. Once again thank you for this opportunity to win all the much needed information and help.

    I visited Tiffany Han’s blog & really enjoyed the post “The Thing About Crickets.” Here’s my favorite line: “And that’s the funny thing about crickets – sometimes they can make you feel all alone out there, and convince you that it’s time to give up. But sometimes, they have the ability to make you see what’s bigger – that there is an entire world out there waiting for you to actually care so much about something that you’re willing to go all in, no matter what, because it’s that important.”

Have liked Marketing Success on facebook. Visited Tiffany Han and I like her word for 2013 post. It is so positive and proud of what she can do – the opposite to me!! Start of happiness is an awesome blog. The layout and language is cheerful and you cannot help but be caught up in the positive nature of it. It feels so alien to me :( but good. Contemplating joining the movement – it seems so compelling.

    Tiffany Han is, from what I just learned, very talented! The post I connected with most and left feeling so inspired from, is “the thing about crickets” (http://www.tiffanymoore.net/blog/2012/11/1/the-thing-about-crickets.html)

    It described exactly my feelings, and sudden insecurities when i first opened my etsy shop, waiting for the world to find and love my shop. and that first sale meant the world to me the way she talked about her first sign-up… her summary/moral of the story is the inspiring part, that I actually saved and plan to print to keep on my desk…
    “The crickets help highlight what’s worth fighting for, worth going to the mat for – what’s that important that you’d risk looking like a fool, or having to ask for help to see happen? What’s worth seeing through even when it isn’t easy? “

    Okay! Onto Tiffany’s blog! (First of all let’s just put it out there that Tiffany is awesome and I did her social media hiatus program – so worthwhile, seriously!)

    As for her blog, this post particularly stands out to me: http://www.tiffanyhan.com/blog/2012/4/9/why-sharing-is-bullshit-and-you-should-stop-being-nice.html

    I love how she is putting her foot down on hiding from our potential and success as creative women, and creative people in general!
    “There’s nothing wrong with success. There’s nothing wrong with abundance. There’s nothing wrong with having more work/money/friends/awesome than you can handle.” yes. yes. and yes to everything else in that post. If you are feeling apologetic about wanting to shine as brightly as possible, this post is a necessary read.

    I recently discovered Andreea’s site while researching information on getting into wholesale, and I think she has a goldmine of helpful information for entrepreneurs! I particularly like this post: http://launchgrowjoy.com/etsy-shop/

    I’m a firm believer that having a site separate from Etsy is crucial to growing your business and brand!

    My favorite post on HandmadeSuccess has to come from Clare Yuille (love her so much!) with this post: http://handmadesuccess.com/2012/10/how-not-to-sell-your-work-to-stores/

    I love the twist on giving tips for how to do something by showing how not to do it. ;) Plus the advice is excellent!

  421. Emma Hodea says:

    Launch Grow Joy: I loved learning about Andrea Ayers and her Project Marketing Breakthrough and the 4 introductory videos. She very clear, easy to follow, offers great tips, I loved especially the first video since I can relate a lot to it, I made the same mistakes at the beginning when it comes to market positioning, branding identity, marketing and so on. I would love to participate to her program but unfortunately my budget this year doesn’t allow me to do that. Maybe next year! :-)

    I can’t believe I missed this deadline! The timing is amazing, I just a few weeks ago decided it was time to stop treating my Etsy store and photography business as a hobby and make it my full time job. Oh well, I’m hoping you hold another contest like this, and I’ll tweet, blog and facebook until I’m blue in the face! :-)

  423. I shared this post!
