On the Road Again
I'm packing to hit the road, headed to Indiana to visit my new grandson! My daughter said "I'm so glad you're coming, Mom! My house is a mess!" Hmmm. I am looking forward to enjoying that new-baby smell, and we'll see how much housework I actually do.
But I'm also trying to figure out to manage everything while I'm gone. My darling husband will be shipping orders for me, so I'm happy to not have to put my Etsy or eBay shops on vacation mode. Trying to get through all the other daily stuff may not be possible, so I thought I'd try a Mr. Linky to help with my Entrecard drops. If you're here to drop your card, take a few seconds and add yourself to my Mr. Linky list. (If you're not here to drop your card, click on over and get yourself a card!) I figure that anyone who took a minute to read instead of dropping and running has earned a spot on my list. While I'm gone I'll drop on these blogs before I drop on any others, and I'll be curious to see if it speeds things up for me.

5 Reasons I Love Entrecard
1. I've discovered a lot of truly nice bloggers and interesting blogs that I probably wouldn't have known existed through Entrecard. I learn at least one new thing from these folks each day, and most days several of them will make me laugh.
2. The traffic to this blog has increased significantly, and it's not all drop-and-run as I feared it would be. A fair number of Entrecard users take the time to stop, read, leave comments, even check out my jewelry and temari. I've come to believe that you get out of Entrecard what you put into it, and if you make the effort to read and interact with the others, people will do the same with you.
3. The ads I buy (with credits I earn, not real money--perfect for my current budget!) on other blogs give this blog exposure to everyone and anyone who might be reading those blogs--many of whom are not entrecard users--bringing new blog readers here and potential customers to my Etsy and eBay shops.
4. The powers that be have come out with a free new ebook to help new entrecarders and seasoned droppers alike. My favorite part about the ebook is that they included MY AD as part of an illustration (see page 8), but it's also full of a ton of helpful tips and info.
5. Entrecard has just been updated so that you can have more than one blog on your account, and switch between them quickly and easily. This is terrific news because I'm planning to launch another blog in the next few weeks and I'm looking forward to using Entrecard to help get traffic moving to it.
If you're a blogger and not in the Entrecard network yet I recommend you have a look around, read the ebook, and feel free to ask questions.

Need More Traffic? Get Some Blog Buzz!
I was visiting some sites with Entrecard advertising widgets today (if you're unfamiliar with Entrecard there's an ad widget at the top left side of my blog), and found a blog about web marketing that's just my speed. Not too basic, not too technical, and it doesn't assume I already know a lot of stuff about marketing. Buzz My Blog seems as though it were written just for lucky me! The articles in the building traffic and community buzz categories have plenty of tips and links to keep me busy, but the thing that really made me notice is the Weekly Buzz: each week a different blog is featured, and it takes less than a minute to sign up to get your blog in the running for a feature. I like nice--and this is an extremely nice and generous thing this blogger is doing.
