This will be a great way to see what handmade items people have for sale throughout this great world wide web. These photos that you'll be sharing will have to come from one of your blog posts. It doesn't matter how old or new the post is, though if you're trying to get people to notice the items you have currently for sale, it's best to link up something that's current.
If you haven't participated in link parties before, they're a great way for you to get some traffic to your blog. They're also very easy to participate in.
To participate, link up ONLY the blog post(s) you want to include on this link party. (You may link up to four posts). Do NOT link up to your actual blog, but to the post itself. If you don't know how to do this, simply click on the title of your blog posts, and that will give you the url address to that particular post up in the website address bar. Copy that, and then click on the "Add your link" button on this link party.
Up will pop three boxes, one for adding your url to that particular blog post, (which I just explained how to find it and copy it), what you want the title of the entry to be, and your email address. Click on "next step," which will bring you to another page that pulls up all the photos associated with that blog post. Select the one you want to represent the thumbnail in this link party, and there you have it! Easy peasy!

1. Link only to what you have made and only link to the specific post on your blog where you have pictures of it/them - not to your blog home page itself.
2. No links to Etsy, Ebay, or other shop front pages, but you can link to posts on your blog where you have items for sale.
3. Grab the Sunburnt Cow Link Party button and put it on either the post you're linking or along your blog's sidebar. (You can also put a text link on your post if you don't want to put a button. But remember the text link should be to this link party post itself).
4. Check out a couple of the other party members' posts and comment. This is a link love party, so let's spread the love and party!!
5. You can link up anything you've made that you have for sale. It doesn't have to be home decor or prim. Anything you have for sale goes on this party!
6. You can link up to four blog posts.
Lastly, by linking to this party, you're giving me permission to showcase you in a future post about the link party. I will use a random number generator that's connected to this link party that will draw out five party participants, and I'll feature them in a post after the party has closed.
Please note that I reserve the right to delete any link that has inappropriate (i.e., not family friendly) content or that isn't following the above guidelines.

Thanks for hosting such a great party idea! I linked up and I'm now following you! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for a fun link party Tracy! Off to check out all the goodies. Deb
ReplyDeleteHi
ReplyDeleteYesterday when I added my link I was able to open up my blog. But I believe you posted on my blog that you had changed it to go directly to the post. I've clinked on it and it does not display my doll. Not sure what went wrong.
Thanks

HI, Pat -
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry! I have it fixed now so that it does go directly to the post. I should've checked it last night after I made the change. I feel really badly about that, but it's fixed now so that it'll go directly to the post.
Sorry,
Tracy
Such a great idea! Thanks for the party!

Tracy,
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting the link party. Now that I got all the bugs worked out on how to post, I'm sure I'll be doing so regularly. Have a wonderful spring day.
