Wednesday Friendsday: Link Up Your Facebook Fan Pages for More Friends and Fans!

Welcome to Wednesday Friendsday, hosted by Team Discovery!


Our mission is to find and promote undiscovered shops and new sellers because everyone needs a break once in a while, a leg up, a helping hand, and a friend! Marketing and networking are just a couple of the ways we help each other and promote ourselves. Facebook fan pages are a perfect way to do just that.


Here at Wednesday Friendsday, we share our fan pages with each other, "like" or "fan" each other, and support and be supported. The rules are simple:

• Follow our blog.
• Add the URL (link) of your Facebook fan page to the list below.
• Fan as many fellow sellers and teammates as you wish.
• Do not spam each other's pages.

That's it!

Thanks so much for stopping by and helping us help and support you!

Tempt me Tuesday Link Party!

It's Tuesday here at Team Discovery and we're hoping to start a new tradition! Welcome to the next installment of our Tempt Me Tuesday linky party. If you're a seller, it's time to tempt us with your items. Show us what you're working with!


The rules are oh so simple!

• Link up to 3 of the items you are selling below by adding the direct URL to your item.
  
  
• For the name, use the name of your item, not your personal name. You may include the price, too, if you like.
  
  
• Follow our blog.
  
  
• Spread the word.
  
  
• Mark your calendars and come back next Tuesday!
  
  
• That's it! Simple, right? And fun!

If you add a link, please leave us a comment so we know you stopped by. Help us get the word out about this party by tweeting, blogging, linking, shouting it from the rooftops. Just any number of ways we can help each other get the word out and have fun at the same time! Because when we network and support each other, we all win!

Monday Treasury Challenge w/ waterlilyjewels

Congrats to waterlilyjewels on a gorgeous treasury challenge win!

There was so much to choose from in this beautiful shop that fits into the merchandising desk themes so it was hard to choose just one...but here it is!

Anyone is welcome to come play but there are some simple rules that must be followed in order for your treasury to be considered as a finalist.

#1: Your treasury must include these earrings by waterlilyjewels. You can put it in any spot you like but it must be in one of the top 3 rows. The theme can be anything you like as long as this item is included.

#2: Your treasury must contain at least 8 new or undiscovered shops. Undiscovered shops have 20 sales or less. The Etsy Pounce function is good for discovering brand new shops and there is a thread in the Etsy forums here that is chock full of new and undiscovered shops.


#3: Your treasury must fill the remaining spots with Team Discovery members. The team members are listed here.


#4: Your treasury MUST be tagged "teamdiscovery", all one word, and "TDchallenge", all one word, without the quotes. Also, we recommend you fill every tag space that is appropriate for your treasury and use "new" and "undiscovered."

#5: You must follow this blog.

#6: You must post the URL link to this blog in your treasury. This is important and is how the word gets out. If you are unsure of what to say in your challenge treasury, feel free to use this:

This is a Team Discovery challenge treasury made up of undiscovered shops (less than 20 sales) and team members. Anyone can join in this challenge.

#7: Your treasury must include "Treasury Challenge" somewhere in your title.

#8: When you have completed your challenge treasury, come back here and add the URL to that treasury here in the comments. You can create as many treasuries as you like and enter as many times as you like. This challenge will end Thursday evening AT 6PM. The winner will be announced next Monday.

The winner of this challenge will be able to have one of THEIR OWN items featured for next week's challenge!
