I’m trying something new to generate traffic to my blog and my shop, and I’m super excited about it! You see, I have to figure out where to put my advertising dollars. It’s kind of difficult to determine where to market. I’m in the digital scrapbooking industry, however my templates REALLY appeal to papercrafters. Unfortunately, I can’t even begin to afford the advertising prices at some of the big papercrafting sites that I adore. So, I’m trying to break into the blogger advertiser thing. You know how you sometimes see little blinkies and ads on people’s blogs? Well, I’ve found the BEST blogs by clicking on those ads, and oftentimes they lead me to super cool shops (like etsy shops!). You could waste spend some serious time clicking around on blogs. Talk about inspiration!!

I recently joined Chic Chicks, a group of women (mostly moms) who have blogs or stores and are trying to bring in a little extra money for their families. It’s a really great group of women, and I’ve had a lot of fun clicking on the little links in the widget on my sidebar. Again, you could spend tons of time! Go ahead to visit my peeps! (Especially Today’s Creative Blog {I heart this blog and have been subscribed for months!}, Skip To My Lou {Hello! You are gonna die when you see her creativity!}, Tip Junkie {She actually blogged about one of my templates last week! I about peed my pants!}, and The Secret Is In The Sauce {Which, I admit, is new to me. However I’m gonna need to spend some time over there, because it looks like a really cool site!}.

If you want to promote me a little, you can wear my cool little blinkin’ ad that I just put up on my sidebar on YOUR blog! I’m SO excited that I (capital I) created that little thing! So, if you are interested, just right click and grab the code! (Copy image location, then link to this blog!)

Also, feel free to blog about me, ESPECIALLY if you use one of my templates on a project. Every once in a while I Google myself and I find some super cool projects using my templates on people’s blogs, and I wonder why they didn’t show me. Sad. I LOVE to see your projects. It makes my DAY. It really does! AND, if you show off your project on your blog, you might as well link to my blog and shop. Just sayin’. I might just send you a little RAK for your good deed! (If you link to my blog, then I will be able to see it in my blog stats, so I can find you easily!)

And, as always, thank you faithful readers (Hi Mom!) for making me feel good by reading my stuff and buying my stuff and stuff like that. Love you guys!
