After writing that looooong post about promotions I started to think about expanding my own marketing further, so I decided to open an ArtFire store. ArtFire is a lot like Etsy, it is there for the same types of customers and sellers and so it was easy to set my store up there. They have teams, currency conversion and it even alows you to link to your blog, etsy page, flickr and any other places you promote your store.
There are 2 types of accounts you can get, one has listing and commission fees similar to Etsy and the other is a $12 subscription fee once a month a NO FEES at all! Personally I jumped at the chance to only pay $12 a month! You can even get your subscription free for life if you refer 10 or more people within 5 days of signing up yourself.

Now I freely admit that part of the reason for this blog post is the distant hope that 10 people would sign up, saying I referred them so I could get my subscription free. But I would not have written this post if I didn't genuinely think that it was a good move for any seller to expand their horizons and market their product in more places.
