Doing my bit to promote artists at GCU
Jun 22nd, 2008, 2:44am
 
I am so pleased that Norval is doing his GCU artist of the week on his GCU storefront. So I am thinking of doing something similar on my blog.  
I have started with a post with photos of Denise Beverly's latest success in her home town. Go and have a look....
 
what do you all think - are we ready yet to promote each other?
 
Norval, when I get your pic I will feature it!

This is a great idea.  I was pleased to see that Norval gave me a little blurb last week.  Great way to show how we support each other here at GCU.
 
I couldn't find the link to Denise's blurb though.

I am a firm believer in ... what goes around, comes around...
I would be happy to promote all of you, just give me a few suggestions of how to.  
 
 I wish we had links of all the members shops, instead I can only look at those few who post here and once in awhile catch a shop that is featured on the HOME page.
 
Is there a place where all the shops are listed with links?  I love looking at the different cards and shops.

Three cheers Eugenia ... Norval ... Ernestine!  I love seeing the camaraderie among the artists here!  Three cheers also for Nicole ... Lisa ... Christy  (will edit and provide the links in a few minutes) along with several others who have joined you in doing a terrific job promoting not only other's card stores but also GCU in general.  I'm *planning* an update on my website by July 1 -- barring any more mommy-emergencies -- so I'll be adding more links to GCU stores on my Greeting Cards page in the update.  I don't get high volume traffic -- friends and clients mostly, but I've been delighted to learn that several of them have purchased other's GCU cards and were thrilled with the quality ... makes me look good when I have happy clients and friends, lol!  Wish I could do more promotion, but will continue to do what I can as far as commenting and rating as time allows for the time being and hope for a time when I have more opportunity to put more energy into it.  
 
Again, kudos and high-fives to the talented and very generous-spirited artists here at GCU!   Grin Grin Grin
 
@ Norval ... feel better soon!  Smiley

Hi Myrna,
Here's a link that you can browse by artist name, latest updates, number of cards in shop, etc.  Pour a cup of coffee and set aside a few hours ... it's addictive!  btw ... welcome to GCU .... love your little bumble bee cards, and I adore your "Moonstruck" card!  Left you a comment ... good work, and again, welcome!

Wow!  So many folks are doing what they can to help promote GCU and other artists as well as their own cards ... maybe we should keep this thread going with some organized links to what everyone is doing so that newbies and oldsters alike can see the different ways that all of us can do our bit.  Here's what I have to start with:
 
http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=5676311269
Thanks to Eugenia!  http://www.greetingcarduniverse.com/ebdesigns  
 
http://www.squidoo.com/PaperGreetingCards
Thanks to Nicole!  http://www.greetingcarduniverse.com/13BlackCatsDesigns
 
http://www.greetingcarduniverse.com/forum/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1213333758
Thanks to Christy Murphy!  (Card Seller)
 
Thanks also to Lisa Solonynko who is promoting GCU artists on her blog!

.... Way to go, gang!  Let's keep the list growing!   Smiley

Hi Teri, and thanks so much for the link to all the artists. That's GREAT! Now, I'll have a REAL reason for not getting anything done.  Grin I was wondering what one has to do to get their name on this list. I have been with GCU a few weeks now, but my name's not there yet. I searched my real name and my store name, but nothing's there. Didn't know if you had to do something special. Thanks again! I sincerely appreciate everyone's help here. I'm getting totally lost in it all, but little by little finding my way around. Still working on the Squidoo lens. Finally, got one set up (private still), but I'll get it done soon I hope. Finally got a Facebook account, too, but still working on setting that up. Man, there's a lot to do, but I imagine it's a necessary thing to get traffic going.

Just to remind everyone I am always taking names and shop ID's for my Squidoo lens. http://www.squidoo.com/PaperGreetingCards
 
It is my highest ranking lens and I track traffic from my other sites and main site and it is working so if you would like to be included please email me at Nikki@13BlackCatsDesigns.com Subject SQUIDOO LENS and give me your shopkeeper code (the long one you get from your widget so you can earn an extra 50 cents) and a small 2-3 sentence description of what your shop is about/the kinds of cards you sell (try to write in 3rd person)
 
Take a look at the lens to get an idea of what is wanted and if you would like to be included. Any questions just ask!
