A Bit Of Advice-Effective Treasury Commenting

After a bit of experimenting, it seems commenting on Etsy Treasuries does good things for your shop!
I commented on a bunch, and within a couple of days I was chosen by several curators for their treasuries, and one of the items in a treasury sold!
I theorize that most curators like to look at who is commenting on their treasuries, so it can't hurt to comment and get seen by them.
A tip though. Make sure you have a great avatar! A curator will be much more likely to click to your shop if you have a good avatar.
How should you comment? Leave comments that are useful. Don't say things like “Cool!” and then leave.
Leave a comment that shows you where paying attention to the treasury. I like to say what my favorite item of the treasury is, or point out how well the color scheme was put together, etc. These types of comments will get you a lot more attention.
Besides, it's nice for the curator to get comments like this….
So go do some treasury commenting and see how it works for you!

Thanks that that great bit of advice. Can I ask a question please? When you say have a great Avatar, do you think a picture of one of your items is best?
First of all I had that, then I changed it to my logo, then I read advice that it was best to have a picture of yourself. I think it’s a pic of me on some and my logo on others now, so I don’t know what’s best.
What do you think?

Thanks for the advice. I agree that it is important to pay attention to the treasury and to make comments specific to the items. I definitely try to do that.

Sue, on this site you will see a picture of me, as I use me as my gravatar. However, on my selling venues I always use a picture of one of my bookmarks.
When I post in treasuries and the forums, I want people to see what it is that I sell.

This is one of the BEST articles I’ve read on Handmade. It really is important to comment on Treasuries and be responsive to the Curators. It isn’t easy to make a terrific Treasury. Some people just have a knack for it. I loved and appreciated ALL of your suggestions. Thanks.
