Moving Towards Spring

I know it’s February but it feels like Spring. Sun is shining and I’m planning several Spring-themed necklaces for release soon. I like working ahead of the curve – keeps me motivated. What do you do to keep yourself motivated?

I’m a person who’s always looking for something new to create or learn. Going to try yoga this month to help with flexibility, learn a new wire weaving technique for bracelets and teach Hunter to make fresh pasta.

Do you need a touch of Spring in your life today? Here’s a two of my favorite Rose of Sharon Jewelry designs guaranteed to make sf016-close you feel the warm sun on your skin, hear the birds sing and watch Mother Nature come alive again.

Fan Thanks

The Facebook link love campaign has doubled the Rose of Sharon Jewelry fan base. When we hit 500 fans, 5 pairs of earrings were given away! Thanks to everyone who became a fan. The 5 new fans who won are: Greta Steinz, Sara Duggan, Amanda Gilmore and Pam Granger Gale.

It seems that Facebook is “afraid” of little giveaways with their rules regarding promotions within Facebook. Rose of Sharon Jewelry will continue to have these fun giveaways but you’ll need to participate via this blog of the main Rose of Sharon Jewelry site.

Don’t want to be given the boot by the FB administration so I’ll keep you informed on how to sign-up to win Rose of Sharon Jewelry prizes.

Speaking of Fans!

I was awarded a new fan prize by Fairy Cute. Yummy lip balm! I’m really enjoying how great my lips feel (it’s windy here in Sparks, NV). The vanilla mint is not too minty and stays on, too! You can check her out on Facebook just search for Fairycute!

Thanks!

500 & Counting Facebook Fans

Welcome to all our new Rose of Sharon Jewelry Facebook Fans.  I’ve been part of a link love campaign sharing networking info with other FB crafters. In a little over a week, I went from 300 fans to 500! And I’ve gotten to meet some wonderfully creative people.

I’ve been busy every evening keeping up with all the “fanning” pages, “following” Twitterers and “hearting” Etsy shops.  Next week, I’ll spend more time really looking at and talking with all the people I fanned.

I believe the link love campaign started on Etsy but it soon had its own momentum. In fact, I’m not certain who I heard it from but I know a good thing when I see it!

If you have a Facebook fan page promoting your creative business, stop by the Rose of Sharon Jewelry Facebook fan page and click on the My Discussions tab. You’ll find a link love  topic where you can start in sharing the link love!

Who Are You and Why Am I Here?

As a long-time marketing consultant, I’m always amazed when I arrive at a Facebook Fan page, a blog, a twitter channel or online store and don’t immediately know who you are and why I want to be here.

I and the Rose of Sharon Jewelry Facebook Fan Page have been busy participating in an Etsy forum-based Facebook link love campaign with tons of creative artisans and crafters “sharing the love” and building network connections. Since the posted invite or networking listing is usually just a URL, I am often a surprised visitor.

Good marketing dictates that a visitor should immediately (you’ve only got their attention for less than 10 seconds) know “Who you are” and “Why the visitor should stay.”

Take a close look at your Facebook personal page and fan page along with your blog, Etsy store and twitter account. Would a stranger know immediately what you are creating/selling?

Don’t forget to include the http:// in your web addresses to make them clickable in many sites, forums, message boards, etc.

Be specific!!! I repeat BE SPECIFIC. Saying you “craft everything” means absolutely nothing. Select a primary focus of your business and concentrate on that. Online marketing is niche marketing. Set yourself apart – create an image – let the world know you make the best ___________________.

So to all my new Facebook Fans who are promoting their own businesses – Make certain no one has to wonder about who, what, where and why when someone comes visiting.

Still confused? Leave a comment here and I’ll continue the marketing lesson or answer specific questions.

Organizing Your Cleaning

I’m excited to share a great time saver – a folding storage bin/cart to carry all my cleaning products from room to room. Maids have carts so I figured there should be a home version. But I never found anything affordable or suitable for a 2-story house. During today’s trip to Office Depot, I discovered a buy-1-get-1 offer so I got one free for upstairs cleaning!

My $19.95 folding storage bin has a luggage-style long handle and easily holds all my favorite cleaners, paper towers, dust clothes, furniture cleaner and the small attachments for my steamer.

987304_sk_lg The bin has a lid and the handle easily collapses so the entire cart can slide into a closet or cabinet.

Yeah! I more item off my January “Make Me Happy” list.

P. S. The Office Depot BOGO sale is this week only and not available online.

Giving Yourself a Fresh Start

January is a month filled with potential and pitfalls. My goal for the month is to dejunk my life. For sometime I’ve felt a need to clear away the mental and physical clutter.

I don’t have a rigid set of daily goals but a process of checking into my happy center of the brain and gut. I’ve discovered through years of failed reorganization efforts and multiple organization plans that rigid means failure. I just have a streak of “don’t make me do that” a mile wide. But I have found that checking in with myself throughout the day to see how I feel about what I’ve accomplished is a powerful tool.

Instead of an overwhelming To Do List, I have a makes me happy list. Just a few things to accomplish during the day that makes my stress level decrease, gives me a feeling of satisfaction and makes me feel productive.

Arden has caught the dejunk bug too so we cleaned and reorganized my huge upstairs linen closet on Saturday.  This is an A+ in my happy center!

Today I’m making myself happy by listing more books on Amazon for resell (so far in 2 weeks I’ve made $60). I get to clean up my office and earn some treat money!

My desktop is almost clear (as is my very visually based mind) and tomorrow I’ll take on my health insurance company!

Getting Back to Normal – Whatever that is!

Tomorrow Sandra leaves and we'll slowly go back to the Fullen family's normal. We've laughed, ate and lived well since she arrived on the 19th. I will absolutely need to go on a diet after our feasting. Here's a few of the many fattening delights we ate this holiday season - fudge, rum cake, fruitcake. coconut shrimp, whip cream, lemon meringue pie, candy and cookies. Our island themed Christmas meal was a success thanks to Dawn's inspiration. Off to enjoy our last feast - Sandra's famous beef stroganoff!
