My own domain name

Just got my own domain name and put up a very (VERY!) basic website directing traffic to both my Etsy and ArtFire shops. One of these day I hope to revamp this site and have online sales from it, but for now it is what it is. http://www.antique-cellar.com/

New Shop on ArtFire

Spending the day adding items to my new ArtFire studio shop. http://artfire.com/modules.php?name=Shop&seller_id=11681
Would rather do that than fight the crowds in the malls today

Art Fire

After reading numerous posts and checking out the site, I am starting up a new store on ArtFire. The site is still in beta but looks to be very promising. Cost is only $7.00 per month now with NO LISTING FEES. Here is a quote from the site:

"We want to help artists. That means putting our money where our mouth is and stepping up in these tough economic times. For the next 5,000 verified artists who sign up as verified artisans on artfire.com we’ll lock in your membership at just US $7.00/month for life.

Our verified status is a great deal at the normal price of US $20.00/month. You’ll get all of the functionality of a website with great features like stats, your own sub-domain name, currency conversions and much more. Check out all of the incredible features you get as a verified member below.

Not only do you get all of those features, but we spend money to advertise this site to buyers. How much? We’ll we’re planning on spending 7-10 million dollars on advertising in the next 12 months. We’ve already bought the back cover of craft magazine for the next two years and purchased over 2 million views of ArtFire ads on websites ranging from Facebook to Mother Jones magazine in the first week of November! We will continue to buy advertising and increase that budget every month for you.

As part of our artisan stimulus package, you can get all of those feature, plus whatever we add for our verified members in the future, for the price of US $7.00/month - for life. As long as you stay a member you’ll never pay a single penny more."
