Most of my mutual promotion is pretty much organic…if someone reposts something of mine on Twitter, that will prompt me to repost something of theirs, and if they like my stuff on Facebook, then I will like something of theirs. What I am working on mostly these days is Insta, if you want to follow there.
Thanks Windy, I did follow you on there. How do I help promote someone and visa versa on Instagram and Pinterest? I am really willing to do this for others who are working to get traffic to their stores like I am.
I am learning, myself, but what I do so far is to add someone else’s Pinterest Pin to one of my boards–that does not always work because boards can be quite specific. I think you can also comment on someone’s pin, and that helps to bring attention. For insta, there is no way to share someone else’s post, but I try to “like” insta posts and I also will make a comment. I think those things bring more attention, so that’s how I do it, but hopefully others will chime in and give us more ideas. For X, you can do what you used to be called “retweet”…and you can do that to your heart’s content because from what I have read recently, the X algorithm will not penalize you for posting too much. On Facebook, sharing someone’s post and following their page helps. I like to visit profiles here on Zazzle and see if the shopkeeper has provided links to Facebook, Pinterest, Insta and Twitter. If so, I often will follow all those. Following a shop here is helpful if you want to see when someone opens a new collection, but other than that, I don’t think store-following here at Zazzle helps others to get more reach.
Despite everything I have said above it probably makes the most sense to concentrate on one social at a time and not try to do them all.
I would love to promote other people’s stores but I don’t understand how to do it. Do I follow your store? Do I go on your social media profile and comment/like there? Or is there some other mechanism within Zazzle to do so?
