Create an Etsy Treasury with Beads of Clay Members Items
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
( this was written with complete beginners in mind...hence the details and length...it's really very easy!)
Open two Browser windows or tabs.
Have one window open to http://www.blog.beadsofclay.org/p/shop-boc-etsy.html
Have the other window open to www.etsy.com
From the Etsy home page click on the >TREASURY link in the lower left column
“More way to shop”
Once on the Treasury page click on > CREATE
A LIST…top right
You should see this:
You don’t need to title your Treasury right away, nor write
a description. Wait for the inspiration after you have explored the BOC shops
and found the items to include in your Treasury.
Go to your browser winndow that has the BOC Marketplace
shops open.
RIGHT Click on
the shop NAME you want to start with, a little pop-up will appear
so you can select “Open page in new window”.
Explore the
shop listings until you find one you want to add to your
Treasury.
Highlight the
URL of that listing by clicking once on the URL. ( it should be highlighted
in blue)
Go back to the browser window with your Blank Treasury page and
your cursor should already be flashing in the next available spot to add a
listing. Hit “ctrl”& “v” to PASTE the url into
the treasury. Then hit “OK”.
And that item will appear!
Keep going back to various BOC shops to find listings, copy
& paste them anywhere in your Treasury. You can rearrange them by dragging
them around to a new spot. (Click, hold, drag)
Add Tags ( in the “tags” window on the right. Separate by commas):
Be sure to include:
BOC etsy team, BeadsofClay, Beads of Clay, ( you can copy
and paste right from this document)
Add your title
and description. It would be nice to include the URL for the BOC
Marketplace page in your description to encourage viewers to visit all the
shops. ( Elaine Ray does not have an etsy shop so she can not be included in
any Treasuries)
Click on SAVE.
Copy the URL of your Treasury and post it on the
BOC, CBC&AW Facebook page, your own FB page and anywhere else it may get
seen (twitter etc). You can also email the link to all those included, but if
they check their shop “activity” regularly it will show up there.
Have fun, be creative, try a theme ( motif, color, shape,
season,). &Try not to repeat shops
within your Treasury
