I Heart Majaba!


For anyone reading this who may not know the magic of majaba, it is an Etsy shopowner's dream come true! Majaba.org was created by Etsian Julian Lievano; it is, however, "super unaffiliated" with etsy.com. It is a site designed to allow Etsy sellers to freely and easily access important data related to their shops, such as the number of "hearts" a shop or item has, or how many views the shop has gotten overall in a particular timeframe.


I enlisted the help of a very talented friend of mine, Sarah at GenuineArticle, to create a web ad for me so that I could become a Majaba site sponsor. She did such a fabulous job! Sarah worked efficiently and diligently to deliver a very professional ad to my inbox in a short amount of time. She gave me lots of drafts to choose from, and was patient with my requests for minor changes. I would highly recommend Sarah to anyone in need of any graphic design assistance! (You can see my ad at the bottom left in the shot above.)


My ad will run from Oct. 28th-Nov. 28th, and the cost was $55 for that special *holiday shopping* month. Since the majaba service itself is free (and priceless in my opinion), this is a small price to pay for what Julian has done for me as an Etsy shopowner. I know that I have gotten more exposure for my shop from the ad, and I have my fingers crossed that it leads to future sales.

Unbelievable!


What started out as an otherwise not very good day in the Thoma house got substantially better toward late afternoon. Incredibly, I found myself on the front page of Etsy again. Twice in one week!! This time I have lobello.etsy.com to thank for the honor. I also have several very good friends to thank for their congrats convos which alerted me in the first place. Super big hugs to Ally at iheartthatdance.etsy.com, Sarah at GenuineArticle.etsy.com, Michele at sweetirie.etsy.com, and Jessi at jessijewels.etsy.com for the kind messages! It would be no fun at all to be on the front page and have no one to share it with :)
