Foundhandmade

Foundhandmade is a unique way to shop. A buyer is brought to a page with blocks of photos showing them either handmade items, vintage items or supplies. Clicking on a block brings you to the website page where that particular item is for sale. There are also opportunities for buyers to win items.



Sellers get exposure by having their blocks link directly to their website, whether it is a personal website or an online selling venue. You can either buy blocks: One block – One month - $5, Five Blocks (non-touching, randomly placed) – One month - $20, Four-merged blocks (one larger image) – One month - $30, or enter one of their events for a chance to win a free block.


They also have a "Where to Sell" feature. Here you can find traffic rankings of various websites where crafters, artists and designers can sell.

Plugboard

I have added a Plugboard to my blog. Do you plug? A plugboard is a place where other websites can add a plug. A plug is a small banner (in my case 88x31 pixels) advertising your blog, website, Etsy shop, etc. When all the spaces are filled up and a new plug is added, one of the older plugs drops off. You can then come back and add your plug back in.

You can find plugboards to add your plug to by doing a Google search. I only add mine to ones that are family friendly and don't require a link on my website back to their site. Since my plug is for my Etsy shop that would be impossible for me to do.

You can make your own plug using a photo editing program or you can search Etsy for sellers that will make a plug for you.

If you would like to add a plugboard to your blog or website you can create one at http://www.plugme.net .

Have fun!
