So just found out my world isn't all chocolate chip cookies and ice cold milk - whoever made the dStash site has probems that need fixing. Thanks to a comment by Jan of Jan4insight , I have learned that my link goes nowhere. The listing looks great but if people cannot access the link to one's website, what good is it ? :( Maybe someday somebody will fix the glitch but I've a feeling that when they do they'll start charging a fee to list there. lol :D
Photo above was the item I had tried to list - listing looked great but the link didn't take me to it or my shop.
Hey there - I have some great information to share with those who are looking for places to promote your handmade items or whatever you're trying to sell. It's a site called dStash and they call themselves a Classified Ads site. It's free and there isn't a lot of information on "how to" but if I can blunder around and figure it out then just about anybody can. :D
You start off on the front page of dStash and over to the right side there's a bar that says: Publish A New Ad - by clicking that bar it takes you to their listings page where you can choose your category and type in a listings title and a description. You can add the URL to your product and even a UTube video if you want. And best part of all is that it is Free.

I looked at the site and it didn't work at all for me. There was no place to type in anything. Also, I saw the ad for your lovely earrings but every time I clicked on it, all I got was the Publish a new ad page -- it did not take to the product page for the earrings so there was no way for a viewer to purchase them!
ReplyDeleteJan - Thanks for the heads up. I went to my listing on dStash and though it had a live url to my shop, when I clicked it I was taken nowhere. I think I now see the problem with the site, they need to work a few bugs out of it. :(
DeleteI think I have heard of this before, was it set up by a fellow Etsian??
ReplyDeleteI will pop over again and check it out :)
Thanks for the info. :)
Have a lovely weekend, cheers, T. :)
T - please let me know if you too have problems as Jan (above) told me the etsy link doesn't go anywhere. I checked it out with my listing and a couple of other listings and found that to be the case. Oh drat and double drat, just when I think I've found a great new avenue to promote in, I end up on a dead end Street. :D
DeleteGreat resource tip! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard of it, but bummer that the link didn't work. GL w/finding a way. :)
ReplyDeleteThe earrings are too cute! Sorry to hear your link doesn't work. Good luck with finding a solution.
ReplyDeleteI'll keep this on the radar and check it out in a few weeks. Is the site new? Hope they get the issues fixed so you can get some free promotion!
