My sister Kim introduced me to a marketing group for small business owners, called The Diva Within. Despite the female-leaning name, it's for anyone that owns a small business online, including all of us artisans. There are articles on various ways to enhance your marketing efforts and of course the opportunity to NETWORK with the group's 1600+ members.

I've also recently joined Pluggers United and the Blockhead Radio Yahoo Group. You may remember them from my appearance last Saturday on the Artisan Teams and Group show promoting my team: Carried Away: the Etsy Bag Makers team. This group exists specifically to promote independent artisans.. plus they're a bunch of fun! If you want to listen to the shows, the player's over there to the left.

If you'd like an invite to join either group, please email me.
