i was just bitching about needing to increase sales lol looking forward to seeing ideas thrown in here

nimil: xD Well we could start a conversation about that too. What do you do when you make an item? Lets start there

i write a blog post
i post the ad image to my store flickr and then add it to as many sl store sales groups i can find
i post the blog post and images on my sl facebook and share it to several advert groups

i advertise it on plurk on my store plurk account

and of course post it to my inworld group, and my subscriber group, and a few advert groups inworld

and then i send it to my bloggers X_x

Do you think your bloggers impact your sales any? How they're viewed, how many you have, how many views they get, etc.

How long till you add it to the marketplace, if you do

Flickr groups, do you just add it to the spam ones or the ones that people have to approve?

and I didn't know you had a store plurk account xD

Bloggers, "advertising" and production rate are all real world ways to increase sales. The stores that are most successful, from what I see are those who produce things often, and fill the areas of demand

This is all excluding brand loyalty and such

motmanV: Those confuse me personally xD I've seen people making tons of high quality items and doing everything 'right' but getting no sales

Low exposure or simply not a currently wanted item. Markets are very complex systems, SLs equally so.

That or something that's to similar to something else on the market

i have such a small hand full of bloggers i don't think they impact my sales much, since i rarely make more than 1k a month in sales...

some months i make nothing

and that's not to say the bloggers aren't awesome and doing their job, there's just not many of them
