3 Tools You Should Be Using...and Why

• Craftweasel : Tag Finder - The trick with this tool is to know what your best tags are in the first place. If you just type in "hair clip" you are going to get a million tags that may or may not have anything to do with your item. But if you type in something like "goth fascinator" you are going to get color tags, description tags and other genre tags that you may not even have thought of otherwise. And by the way - the best way to use this tool is to type in your words - hit "find tags"- then "complete table of related tags" then "average views per day".

• Statsy : Featurator - e-mail every time you get featured on Etsy's front page. It's good to have something like this because being featured on the front page these days usually lasts about 4 minutes.

• Craftoplolis : Treasure Hunt & Gift Guide - All you have to do is type your shop name in and you can see if you are in any treasury's or gift guides. Easy peesy.
