  6. Don't know why I can't get my links to work here but will try later. Keeps saying images can't be found. Anyway, here is the Wanelo collection and Pinterest board I started.

  7. FYI...#10 and #12..Google says it doesn't recognize you. #15 goes to your studio and not the item.

  8. Hey, did you notice that each of the items has a pin or a facebook icon? that might make things easier.

  9. Links are all fixed now. Please make sure that your links are to the item you want to promote.

    If you are having trouble, here is a quick tutorial http://bmebluprint.blogspot.com/p/tutorials.html

  10. This is the message I am getting.
    Could not find any images!
    You can still upload your link. Here is how

  11. If you are having trouble adding your items, there is a spot at the bottom of the form that allows you to add them by the image URL as well. This is the first one I have run since they changed the format, so it may be something that I am doing wrong. :(

  12. Julie, you did nothing wrong. I had the same problem on the twitter tree this morning as I had here. It has to be InLinkz. Uploaded the pics I wanted from my files

    ReplyDelete
  13. Interesting, Catherine. I had no problem this morning, but I posted from my www.x-stitch-pattern.com store, which is run with a shopping cart. I wonder if this is an Artfire problem due to the length of their URL? I don't know if Etsy folks are having the same problem.

  22. Thanks for doing this, Julie & Blu!

    The uploading problem might be just for Artfire products. I had the same problem with Twitter Tree. Uploading pictures are fine for my storenvy products.

    Here is my pinterest board:

  23. Wheew that was a workout! I had a problem posting this morning as well, it must be artfire. What I did was I put my link into the bar that you are supposed to and then had to upload a photo. Not the same as having it added directly from your site url but it worked! Thank you so much Julie for hosting this party again. :) So excited to participate, let's hope that it brings sales for everyone!!!

  25. I tweeted, posted everyone on FB, G+, Pinterest and Clipped them to my new Polyvore (don't know much about this one but it is up)

    I also added a little info along with the link for Blue Morning Expressions to my blog post at:
    http://butterflyintheattic.blogspot.com/2014/03/networking-saturday-link-your-shop-or.html

    It is another chance to network and link up along with the post that shows how much traffic came from last year's Countdown to Christmas. I couldn't promoted a lot due to my move but you can see how many people stopped by just from those posts. I hope you will check it out

    Thanks Julie so much for setting these up they are very effective

  34. Feeling better today so I managed to pin all above on Pinterest. I added three of my own that are not above because I wasn't able to yesterday. It's optional of you want to add my three. They are the crystal clear Crystazzi necklace, bracelet and earrings and can be found on my Pinterst board or "search" for Crystazzi in my shop The Singing Beader. Thanks!
