How to Bring
a Steady Stream of Customers
to Your Online Jewelry Business
Here's how I tripled my website traffic by using social networking - and how you can do even better than that.
Hi, I'm jewelry artist Rena Klingenberg.
A few years ago I started exploring social networking on the Internet, to see if it could bring more traffic to my websites.
At first I just dabbled here and there on a few social websites, testing various strategies to see what brought me more visitors and what didn't.
I already had a fair amount of traffic before I started these experiments - but during the first six months of playing around with social networking, the traffic to my websites tripled. And it hasn't let up.
The latest and
most powerful online tool for promoting jewelry websites and blogs is
social networking.
I highly recommend Rena's comprehensive guide
to navigating the what's, do's and don'ts of social marketing for busy
jewelry artisans who either don't have the time to do the research or
the knowledge of where to begin.

To Grow Your Jewelry Business,
You Have to Go
Where the People AreSocial websites are where everybody is online.
Over half of all Internet users spend more time on social websites than doing anything else online.
The social Web has an unprecedented power to attract people's attention and influence their buying decisions - and it continues to grow by leaps and bounds.
Studies show that people who use social networking sites also tend to be very active online shoppers - and that they buy more than twice as many jewelry and fashion items online as non-social-site users do.
Put Your Jewelry
Right in Front of
Your Most Likely CustomersIn "Social Networking: Sell Your Jewelry Online" I'll guide you through a variety of ways you can put your jewelry right in front of the active online shoppers who love the kind of jewelry you create.
I'll show you how you can easily find your ideal potential customers on social websites, and build true friendships with them.
Then you can watch your online jewelry business grow - the Friendly way.
I'm a geek. I admit it. I've been involved with
computers since my first Apple II and a 300 baud modem.
I'm an artist, designer and writer, and I spend 4
to 6 hours a day on the web. I thought I ruled the web.
Imagine how shocked I was to read Rena's book and
find out how much more I needed to know about marketing my work through
social networking!
Step-by-step, Rena explains how to use
the hot new social networking and marketing sites to promote you and
your work.
If
you buy only one book about online marketing, this should be it.
If you are a quilter, painter, photographer, or an
artist or craftsperson working in any media, just substitute
your medium for the word "jewelry" in the book and you'll have the
perfect online marketing guide for you.

Social Networking
Connects You with the People
Who Want to Buy from YouPeople prefer to buy from the businesses (and people) they know and like.
So when you build genuine friendships online, jewelry sales will follow - especially when these friends are people who already love the kind of jewelry you make.
No matter where you sell your handmade jewelry online - on Artfire, Etsy, eBay, your blog, your own website, etc. - you have to drum up your own customers if you want to sell your jewelry.
And if you want to have more control over your own traffic and bring interested customers to your jewelry online, social websites are the "power tools" you should be using.
I take you through it step-by-step in this complete guide to selling more of your jewelry on the Internet - the social way.

Easiest Road to
Social Networking Success
for Your Jewelry Business?
It took me more than two solid years of studying, experimenting, trial and error to figure out all of the jewelry-specific social marketing tips and strategies that are in this book.
I've tested and honed these jewelry marketing strategies so that they really work.
And I've held no secrets back - "Social Networking: Sell Your Jewelry Online" is your complete success guide to selling your handmade jewelry online.
You can take a huge jump ahead, and bypass your own two-year learning curve - simply by reading this book and following my checklist that's included in it!
Rena, I have now read your new book "Social
Networking: Sell Your Jewelry Online" and regard
it as an outstanding
resource for anyone, like myself, who is trying to build up their
online jewellery business.
This is a BIG subject and if like me, you've not
really got started on blogging or being involved in virtual
communities, it's a largely unknown world and one where I didn't really
know where or how to get into!
Having read your book the mystery has gone and I
now feel pretty confident to go ahead and make new contacts and
customers through this important medium.
What's more, you have explained to me, in very straight
forward terms, not only what I need to be doing but exactly HOW to do
it.
This book is a must for anyone who is struggling
to "Be Found" on the internet by potential customers -as we've all
discovered, no matter how lovely our products, how reasonably
priced they are and how stunning our photos are, etc., unless we are
found by our target market we ain't going to sell sell sell!
So
read on and learn how to harness the power of social networking and see
how it will bring the all important target customers right into your
online shop.
This book really does demonstrate how, for almost
no cost except our time, we can turn traditional marketing methods
upside down and take control of our own destiny.
I
really like the checklist at the end of the book which now has become
part of my on-line marketing plan.
I would highly recommend this personal insight
from Rena, and only wish that I'd had this knowledge 18 months ago when
I launched my online business.

Oh my, Rena did it again!
I just finished my second reading of this
book and I can only say this is THE Guide
for Internet sellers - if you are a beginner on the web, you can use
this book as the Bible of jewelry online marketing; if you are a
seasoned seller, you will find hundreds of useful tips and wonderful
new paths to expand your business online on the most efficient ways...
and efficiency is a must when having an online business.
Rena is a true expert on the secrets of profitable
and targeted online marketing. Her own websites and newsletters are a
proof of internet marketing success at all levels, and if she has
something to be praised about, it's her amazing generosity giving so
much useful content for free.
If the content she gives for free is THAT good,
you can't believe how good is the content of her books?
This is the second book from her I review and I
only have good words to say from both.
I would like to point out that this is not
cold, hard, shark marketing.
It is about building true relationships with true
people, and Rena offers a wonderful insight on the making of those
relationships, and how to make them profitable for all parts through
mutual collaboration.
It
is a fact that Internet is changing, and if you don't know yet what Web
2.0 is, you're in desperate need of this book or you'll be soon left
behind and wondering where has all the traffic gone?
Well, they're making exactly the kind of Social
Marketing Rena is talking about . . . and getting all the sales!
This
book is primarily about excellence in Internet Marketing, and that is
just what your dream customers are looking for.
