Top 6 sites to advertise your SMALL BUSINESS.

Facebook:
It's Better Handmade is not only a large Facebook group for Handmade Artists, but it is also a website that you may "submit" your handmade products to along with a link to where shopper's can find them, thus essentially making it another shopping platform for handmade sellers!  This also creates backlinks for your site which also make your site more credible!  It's Better Handmade also offers paid advertising spots on their site - which is ALWAYS a good idea!  Click HERE to join their Facebook group of 40,000+ members.  Click the photo to be taken to their website.

Pinterest:
"I Own A Small Business" group board on Pinterest.  This Pinterest Board is great for Etsy sellers, but ALL small businesses are welcome to pin!  One of the fastest growing group boards on Pinterest, this board boasts 34k pins & 700 pinners to a ratio of 4,072 followers which means this board has a lot of followers that are most likely shoppers.  The board instructions to be invited are as follows:  1.)  Follow the board (because you have to to pin to it.)  2.)  Email LivAndCompany@gmail.com with a click-able link to your Pinterest profile so they may invite you.  The best part about group boards is that they are free advertisement.  Rather than only being seen by your followers & seldom pinning your items as to not spam your viewers, you  are actually expected to pin to group boards each day or a couple times a week to keep your items in rotation since they circulate so quickly.  You are also seen by 100x more viewers than just your exclusive audience on your profile.  Click HERE to be taken to the board.

There are plenty of sites to assist small & handmade businesses, but these are my top 6 in reference to the ones I follow.  As always, Liv & Co. offers easy, $10 slots to be advertised on our site for 2 weeks.  To advertise at LivAndCo.com send an email to LivAndCompany@gmail.com with your PayPal email or email you would like to receive your invoice, a small blurb (2-3 sentences) about your business, a photo you would like to represent your business, & a link to your online store.  All of those must be submitted to be featured.  You will not receive an email until we are ready to feature you.  When we put you up, you'll be up for 2 weeks.  You can re-new as often as you'd like.  All paid submissions are currently going on our blog pages because they drive the most traffic, aside from our shop.  Meaning, on every blog we post, every time one of them is clicked on your advertisement will be located to their right.  We constantly pin our blogs, tweet them, & share them to Facebook.  They get a lot of traffic which = exposure for you. 

If you'd like to shop Liv & Co. click HERE .
