Guest Write For Handmadeology
ANTIQUE TYPEWRITER | by: NostalgiqueArt
Increase your network:
When you are writing for other blogs in the handmade community you have the opportunity to meet other like minded people. Let’s face we all need to make connections and hang around people that have things in common. Do you belong to an Etsy team? Do you join groups and Fan pages on Facebook? Putting your heads together helps everyone get things done faster and in the long run can improve your business.
Get More Recognition:
A little recognition goes a long way, and writing for other blogs in the handmade scene can increase it greatly. Just by writing articles for other blogs, readers understand that the blog publishing your article sees you as an expert in the topic you are writing about. The more you write the more your recognition will build.
Expand Your Exposure:
By writing on more blogs and websites you will reach different audiences and expand who sees your brand. By writing guest articles you are building a permanent brand that can bring you more traffic and sales.
Contribute To The Handmade Community:
We all have learned one or many things from blogs in the handmade community. Guest writing helps you give back and contribute to the handmade community. From featuring handmade goods to teaching, blog posts help the community is a huge way.
Build Back Links:
When you are guest writing on a blog you should be give the ability to link back to your blog, Etsy shop, and other sites. You should also be allowed a short bio. Back links will help your SEO, especially when they come from well know relevant blogs.
Guest For Writing Handamdeology:
Handmadeology is a growing blog and community with a vast social network. With over 8000 fans to the Handmadeolgoy Fan Page, 19,000 Twitter followers it is certain that your exposure and recognition will grow quickly. Handmadeology is designed to give back to the handmade community, so your guest posts will easily fill that role.
Every guest writer is given a bio and the ability to link back to as many sites as they like. With these links your SEO will improve. Also with every post you write there is an author bio to the right in the side bar.
Handmadeology also has a growing forum where your articles will be posted for discussion and added back links.
The Handmadeology Team is looking for guest writers that are ready to grow their network and gain more recognition for their brand. I am looking for crafters, sellers, buyers, artists, designers, and bloggers affiliated with the handmade scene. If you are interested in getting more information on guest blogging for Handmadeology fill out the for below, and I will get back with you asap.

I’m interested in participating. The following is the message I sent in the above form, it failed to send on the first try.
I create one-of-a-kind jewelry from cabochons that I hand cut. I like the idea of interfacing with other artisans about techniques and marketing ideas.

I would love to write for other blogs, but I have trouble coming up with enough material for my own blog. Would there be assignments like as if I was a reporter and then go do research and write or do I have to come up with my own topics. I do want to feature people’s art from items they have bought from my store, but I haven’t had anyone get back to me with any of their creations yet. However, I am having a contest right now though to thank everyone for helping my sales hit over 100 in my Etsy Store. http://totallyuniquetreasures.blogspot.com/2010/09/this-contest-is-for-you-in-celebration.html
Hopefully, I can get some more inspiration to write for more blogs. Thanks for the information. I will pass it along to my forum members too. http://handmadeartistsforum.com/forum/

As usual such wonderful information. I have to totally rethink my approach to my shops and getting recognition for them. About to go away for a month’s holiday and will have to give it lots of work when I get back.

I’ve done a few interviews about people’s workshops on my blog, it’s quite hard to do over email but the results so far have turned out well.

If anyone is enthusiastic I’d also be interested to colaborate with them on an article.

As usual, to guest blog is excellent advice. We welcome any guest blogging inquiries and follow Tim’s blog post promoting advice so a lot of people you wouldn’t normally reach are seeing your name + getting a bit of your personality – a big part of why people choose handmade + something that may not easily come across on an Etsy listing.
As far as material, we’ve just posted part of a Pinterest board with a short bio. Readers love finds – your guest post may already be written + you don’t even know it. We highlight makers from all over – whether or not we sell his or her work; we love hearing abt why you make what you make, what your town’s like, etc. My point is that guest posting’s worth your time + it’s not that difficult.

I’d be so excited to write a guest post for Handmadeology, but I don’t have a personal blog yet. I’m not sure when/if I’ll be starting my own. Is this a prerequisite to being a writer for this blog?

It all makes sense. In everything i read, everwhere, I notice grammar mistakes, mispelled words, omissions, etc. proofing is not what it used to be. Thanks for all the ideas though. A treat as always.
