There is a really new up and coming website on the internet. They pop up all over the place, but this one stands up above the rest. With 799 members and counting, and only in business for 6 months, there is tons of potential for this site. The site is called "My Craft Corner" and is loaded with features for crafters. Artisans that craft to sell or just for fun are all invited. It is also not craft-specific. Wood-workers, painters, knitters, crocheters, jewelry-makers, and polymer clay artists are all invited. Photography and digital artists abound. There is a little something here for everyone.
The best part about it is that it is free. No strings attached, no fees for special features, nada to post pictures, videos, widgets, html, graphics, or anything else. You can join groups, promote your website, advertise your products or studio, enter contests, and much more. Yep, it sounds like an advertisement, but in this case, it's all true! I have my own studio on there and have decorated my studio the way I want it to look. (A little problem with the header, but trying to figure that one out!) So if you are looking to brag or sell, here's a place for you. Make friends and connect with fellow artisans.
This website also promotes through Facebook, Twitter, and many other social networking sites. Even Ravelry, which owns a small piece of my heart, would have a hard time competing with some of the free features My Craft Corner has to offer. Ravelry, for all it's glorious knitting, crocheting, weaving, and spinning glory, still doesn't offer the potential to reach customers that My Craft Corner does. I've been to a lot of craft places on the web, and this site has so much more to offer. Reggie, the owner, is awesome and friendly, even with her plateful of things to do. So if you join, don't forget to tell them, "FantasyDreamKnits sent me!"
Hi! I'm back...let's hope for good this time. Feeling much better and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I stay that way. Anyway, thanks for the great info on your blog. Went to my craft corner and you are right, it is a very cool site. I have a lot of catching up to do as well as getting ready for a show in Columbia, SC in March. Keep the information coming. Thank you again, Vitta
