Do you Flickr?

[Amy Steinberg]

An interesting thread on Etsy tonight about using Flickr to generate leads for Etsy shops. What do you think? What has been your experience?

[Debra Janin]

Haven't read the thread, but have been meaning to put stuff on Flickr -- I do have an account...but yolu know, there's just so many hours in the day..... :]

I have a flickr page for Paisley Baby and it has certainly brought traffic to my site. So far no sales though :-(

[Janet Campbell]

I have a Flickr - folkartbycampbelljane. It has brought attention to my art, however, not sure of any sales from it as of yet. I received a couple of awards from groups so that was exciting!

I've had a few people from Flickr mark my things a "favorite" but as for generating leads I haven't had that experience. I have a number of photos and slideshows also. I use it to display my past work and also my commission work since I can't show that on Esty....I have the Flickr slideshow on my blog sidebar but really like the SLIDE program too...

I just opened a flickr acct. It's gotten a few looks, but nothing big yet

I have been on Flickr a while -

I have definitely noticed more views in my etsy shop when I post an item on Flickr, and I know at least 2 sales have come from there. I do think it's worthwhile having a Flickr account - after all, the more people who see your work the better!
Feel free to add me too - I love new Flickr friends!

I just recently opened a flickr account. I've met a few people and had some views, but it's too early to tell if it will help sales or not. It's still kind of fun even if it doesn't help out.

I've been using flickr for awhile now and love it! There are tons of different groups to join and submit your photos to, which in turn brings traffic from others that may not know about you =o) I think I belong to 80+ groups...you can also tag each photo which helps when others are searching...within each group there are also discussion areas...its definately been an asset!

Hi Amy! I have a Flickr account, but I haven't really been as active with it as I'd like to. I have heard from multiple people that customers found their Etsy shops via pictures on Flickr, so it must work!

[junkstylediva]

Yes, I flickr! You can find me at junkstylediva; I also moderate a group called Junk Divas. It is open to anyone who makes art from recycled materials or has photos of artist stuff that may seem like junk to others but has an artistic feel. Inge

I've been on flickr for a while and haven't had near as much response from it as others here -- looks like I'll have to try a few new things!
