I’m a shop owner on Etsy.com and last year Facebook took
away the shop links from our profiles but didn’t tell us how to transfer the
Etsy app to our fan pages or maybe I just didn’t get that “MEMO”. I’ve been
looking ever since with no luck. So as I’m browsing and giving a supportive “Like”
to other Etsian’s on Facebook today I’m noticing they have Etsy.com shop links
on their fan pages so I go looking on Etsy.com for a way to get mine back up
and running again on my SK Wire Jewelry page. The only link I find is de-funked,
no longer available, Error 404 “Uh-oh server not found” de-funked! What the
hell, our Etsy.com shop links get cut from
our profiles but really people, is it necessary to bury the instructions so
deep that someone like me can’t find or figure out how to move it from my
profile to my shops fan page?
Are there special requirements to gaining access to this
link again like your requirement of 30 “Likes” to gain stat access? Okay so I may not have 30 “Likes” yet but I’ve
no qualms in shouting that I’m a frustrated business owner and Etsy.com shop
owner and I want my link back – and I want it back now! Tens of thousands of Etsy.com shop owner’s worldwide
use Facebook to promote our handmade and vintage products. It is a major arena where
we connect with our network of like artists, our friends and consumers. Having
a shop link on our page makes it easy for consumers around the globe to access and
purchase our artisan handcrafted jewelry, textile and paper crafts, metal works,
and a diverse range of unique and vintage products that we work so hard to
create. Your Facebook “social network” allows us to globally market our small
business enterprise, it helps the small business grow but without the link for
some of us, it makes it difficult for our consumers to reach us.
Alright, I’m done bitching about my Facebook http://www.etsy.com/shop/SimplyKaties shop link – but really, just tell me how I can transfer my app from my
profile to my http://www.facebook.com/SKWireJewelry
fan page – I’d really love to have it
back!
I want to spread some love for some wonderful artists who
produce beautiful metalwork jewelry. First up is Rachel and her shop 2 Trick Pony
http://www.etsy.com/shop/2TrickPony
and her “Darkened Sterling Silver endless Heart Hoop earrings”. I love these for
their oxidation, tapered, textured and hand forged metal beauty nicely paired
with hand cut emeralds giving them a casual rustic charm. Then there’s http://www.etsy.com/PPenney she also
makes some beautiful jewelry in silver and karat gold but I especially like the
gemstone stack rings in gold and you can check out her website at www.allwiredupjewelrydesigns.com
for more beautiful jewelry designs. These
ladies are members of the Aspiring Metalsmiths team on Etsy.com, http://www.etsy.com/teams/5627/aspiring-metalsmiths
I’ve applied to this team because I also design and create hand forged metal
jewelry and want to take my skills to the next level. I see opportunity and
great things happening for me with the use of a torch and this group can help.
What is your craft and is there a new technique or skill
that you want to learn so you can take your skills to the next level? Where could your interests take you? Leave a
