If you are interested please email me two very good clear and professional pictures of two of the things you make. And, one short paragraph about your business. Please get it to me by Monday.
I've also connected with a source at Shabby Lane Shops. I put my shop on for now to see what kind of traffic I get. If it pays off I will let you know and we can do a website together on there.

Thanks to all of you for your enthusiasm and support.

Sent you the paragraph-c'mon ladies! Step on up. This is such a great bargain for online ads-I know cause I've priced a few folk music sites & they were beyond what I can afford right now. Absolutely astronomical. This is a golden opportunity for you & your biz!

Latest update! We now have Sherrie, Sandy, Joanna, Rise, Kayla J. We need just one more to reach our goal. The article is being reviewed and the pictures I've received have been forwarded. The ad logo is being worked on by my etsy team. I highly recommend her for all your banner, avatars, ads, etc...
Once I get the 6th person we will collect the $5.00 each and I'll forward it to Small Town Living. I've covered the $10 for the ad logo.
This is so exciting.
Now, when the article is posted you will want to send out emails to all your contacts for them to go and read. That will be very impressive to your friends, family and customers.

My Best to you all,
Marsha

We have a new blog in the works for our Sunshine Co-op group. There are two ads I have also coming up for the group. One is on Shabby Lane Shops that directs to the blog. The other is with Small Town Living coming up soon. There is still time for you to send in your ad fee to support both ads.
I paid for two months on the Shabby Lane Shops. We will be featured in their magazines and online and on their blog. If you'd like to contribute it would be greatly appreciated.

Hugs,
Marsha

My local paper the Beacon is doing an article on us. I'm speaking to a reporter that does just interesting stories and another that does stories on new businesses called "Out and About". I feel so honored.
If each of us calls our local papers and tells them about our group and how it all got started they will be very interested and will offer to do a piece on us. That way we will get stories going all over the country.

Some exciting news. I have been doing a lot of research to help me advertise my own business and the co-op. I found several things that are FREE and I'd like all of you to help me do this.
I don't know what has happened to several of our shop farmgirls. I've emailed them and I don't see them coming to the forum and posting under our thread either.
If you are still wanting to be a part of the co-op please email me or check in here. These new advertisng plans will benefit everyone so everyone needs to participate to make if fare for the ones who are regularyly supporting us.


Ok, now have you heard of press releases? And do you know how it works? What about virtual flyers? Please let me know if you know what I mean.

I would like everyone to go to these sites and advertise your website and include a link to the Sunshine Farmgirl blog at www.simpleliferevisited.blogspot.com
The press release site is www.pr.com
Follow the join for free steps and read how to write a good press release. They will email you if it is accepted or if you need to make any changes.


Second, go to www.vflyer.com and do the same free to join steps and make up your free virtual flyer to advertise your site and the co-op. This will put our co-op high in the search engines. Be sure to use the name Sunshine Farmgirl Co-op.
Do not bring them here, only to the blog and your own site.

Isn't this exciting? All for free. I love it. Please let me know when you have completed both sites. The sooner you do the sooner you will get free traffic to our sites. Yeah!!!

It is very easy to do, just read the ones that are already posted and that will help you out. That is what I did. You have to make it sound news worthy not pitchy!
There is a cool one for a soap making event. I wanted to do something like they are for our group. I'll find it again and give you the link.
