Etsy Lush: Free Marketing and Promotional Site For Your Online Crafts

Green Tea and Cherry Blossom Candles As Seen On Etsy Lush
Everyone who sells crafts likes free marketing opportunities, right? You need to invest either time or money in getting your creations seen by your target market. Etsy Lush is a site for buyers to browse some of the best of handmade crafts, and for sellers to show off their wares. You can visit the website here: http://etsylush.com/

How does Etsy Lush work? There are 2 options, a free to submit category and a paid submission category. Simply choose the paid or free option and fill out an item submission form. If your item meets the guidelines, it will be placed in a queue to appear on Etsy Lush. The paid submissions appear on the front page, which rotates, and the free ones are in the gift guides, divided by category.

There are some guidelines for submitting, please read them all before you do, but the 2 important ones are that pictures cannot be more than 1MB and some categories are not being accepted at this time. An example of something you cannot submit is jewelry, unless you personally made a majority of the beads or components. For example, if you made a ceramic cross and hung it on a necklace as a pendant, that would be OK, but if you bought a cross and made it into a necklace, that would be a no-no. The rules change to reflect what categories are very saturated, helping to display a diverse selection. Also, you can only submit one item a day. Sometimes, items are not selected for display if the photo is poor or you have exceeded your limit for submissions. Please read all the guidelines before submitting, to avoid disappointment.

Additionally, Etsy Lush picks treasuries to display in the featured section that are made entirely from items on the site, so if you submit, the odds are high to appear in a few high-class treasuries! This treasury is from the featured page. To participate in the fun, join the Etsy Lush team. You must make 2 treasuries a month to join. Making treasuries gets you free exposure too, especially if your treasury is chosen to be featured. You can join the team here, but make sure to read all the rules for participation: http://www.etsy.com/teams/8706/etsylush
