Thank you for your interest in working on this project!
Managing the site together will take organization & cooperation from everyone.
Hopefully this introduction will help each person decide if this project is a good fit for her/him.
The purpose of the SuppliesMiniBlog is to give shoppers a place to find items to buy. The blog’s success is all about exposure.
Traffic to the site is the top priority.
More visitors mean more views for your shop. Remember: If you’re a volunteer, your mini will be on the front page … so we must work together to get the blog publicized.
We cannot stress this enough! It’s not a project where you just add minis here & there; sometimes we'll need to help one another promote the site, too.
SuppliesMiniBlog Volunteers : The Three R's
Requirements
- Basic understanding of blogs: how they operate, how to edit, the features within.
- Knowledge of basic html coding, how to cut & paste, ability to recognize & correct if the code is broken. Also, the ability to link pages is a big plus!
- Willingness to be communicative within the Etsy community and publicize the project.
- We sincerely appreciate everyone who has a desire to work on this project; unfortunately, we don't have the extra time to teach volunteers about the basics of using blogger tools---so practice getting comfortable on your own blog first and then we'd love to have you join us!
Responsibilities
- Familiarity with all the procedures, rules, TOU & features of the blog. You’ll be called upon to educate the users of the blog, so please be sure to read all the how-to pages!
- Willingness to commit a few minutes each day or so as needed to post minis &/or help promote the blog.
Recognition
- All Volunteer Minis are posted on the homepage; the order is rotated weekly.
- Volunteers’ Minis receive top billing within their category at all times.
- Volunteers’ blogs/websites appear at the top of the Links page.
- Admin will often draw from Volunteer shops when individual items are featured on the blog in collages, gallery grids, etc.
Please convo me (schoollocker) if you have any questions.
