Shake Your Handmade Moneymaker

The holiday shopping season is upon us- I know, I know, I don’t want to think about it either. I’m a last minute shopper, so all of you super organized people that get your shopping done before December even rolls around make me feel like a lard ass. I’m use to it, though, so I won’t hold it against you.
Anyway, if you’re a seller of handmade wares, now is the time to start thinking about advertising for the holidays! WhatTheCraft to the rescue!
We have flexible advertising plans that can fit pretty much anyone’s budget. We’re currently getting over 43,000 unique visitors and 760,000 pageviews per month, and that number continues to grow! That’s 43,000 people that have a true appreciation for the quality and uniqueness that only handmade can offer!
Our regular Sponsor ad spots that are on the righthand side of every page are available throughout the holiday season, so jump on them before they’re gone! Ad spots are available by the week, with discounted rates if you purchase by the month and year, so even if you’re only looking to spend a few bucks, there’s a spot for you.
More information about WhatTheCraft Sponsor Ads is available here.
Sponsor Ad Spots on WhatTheCraft.com
Additionally, theWhatTheCraft Holiday Handmade Showcase is back! The showcase will feature 8 handmade items and will be smack dab at the top of the landing page, in place of the Featured Content box, from November 1st through December 31st.
Each showcase spot will feature one item listing from your Etsy shop and will include a 140 x 140 pixel image, the item name, and your Etsy shop address.
It’s the perfect spot to feature an eye catching item from your shop that you think would make a great gift this holiday season. AND it’s super easy. All you need to do is select a date, enter your item URL, and pay through Paypal.
Showcase spots start at just $3.99 per day. They are first come, first served and are available for immediate purchase here.

SQUEE! Video Tutorials coming soon!

I am super excited to announce that video tutorials will soon be a regular feature here at WhatTheCraft.com!
I know some of your have been asking for this for a while now, and I finally invested in a video camera. I will soon be the proud own of a Creative Labs Vado HD.

I also thought I’d share a little secret… I bought the camera with money I made from SponsoredTweets! If you have Twitter, I suggest you give SponsoredTweets a shot, because you’re basically being paid to Tweet! You name a price and get paid to tweet ads. You have complete control over what ads you accept and what ads you don’t want AND you get to write your own ads, so you don’t have to worry about your Twitter feed looking like it’s been taken over by a spam bot.
Just think of all the fabric you could buy with a little extra free cash from something like this….
