Some tips on how to be successful on Twitter from blueberryshoes on Etsy:
- Use the same username as your Etsy shop.
- Use the same Avatar as your Etsy shop.
- When starting to follow people...type #etsy or etsy in the search box and look for sellers you like. Follow them generously. It is Twitter manners to follow back if you like someone. So you will get followers this way.
- When you find a shop you like on Etsy, track down their twitter address and follow them. They'll probably follow back. It's usually stated in shop announcements or profiles.
- The more people you follow, the more will follow you. You can always unfollow the ones you don't find that interesting after a week or so.
- DO NOT only tweet your listings. Try to be interesting and talk about inspiring ideas, be funny, take an interest. Retweet other's cool posts. Tweet great treasuries, share cool blogs. No one likes to follow a spammer, but ppl love to follow interesting creators.
- When posting a new listing always put #etsy in the tweet, after the listing link. #etsy is recognized and searched for by other etsians.
- Have a cute backround on your twitter page. I like http://twitrounds.com for free backrounds.
- Make sure your "Website" links to your Etsy Shop.
- Tweet picture previews on items you are working on or are about to sell with the help of http://twitpic.com
