Sites Like Etsy, But Free

www.driftwoodmall.com

In an attempt to look for sites like Etsy, but free, I had an inspiration. I love Etsy, and I still continue to sell successfully on the site, but like many people, I was looking to find alternatives. When you have handmade goods and interesting supplies to sell, there's no harm in listing them in more than one place, especially when they are selling on a regular basis.

I couldn't find any sites like Etsy that were free and suited my needs. I tried Bonanza and never had any luck. I do make handcrafted items, but I also like to sell natural supplies, like driftwood, shells and various cool and interesting things from the woods. So many other people are more creative than I am, and I like to provide supplies to those people and see what is created with them. I've had success in the past selling items like this, and I've often had people approach me to find out how they could become sellers of similar items.

This is how Driftwood Mall was born. The site is an online marketplace, very much like Etsy. It offers FREE listings, which is great since you never really know whether something is going to sell, until you list it and people come flocking. If you are a seller of handmade items, natural supplies, creative art or recyclable materials, you are invited to apply for a shop.

How Driftwood Mall is Like Etsy:

• online marketplace for buying and selling handmade goods
• seller payment goes to straight through Paypal upon confirmation of sale
• users can favorite items and share via Pinterest, Facebook, Twitter and more
• offers a blog (small at the moment) with related tips for buyers and sellers

How Driftwood Mall is NOT Like Etsy (but better...shhhh):

• no listing fees!
• seller payment is sent to Paypal immediately, and commission comes out of that payment. This means no monthly bills and no waiting for payment to be deposited based on certain conditions
• no added site shipping fees. This means that customers know exactly what they will be paying without being surprised by added shipping costs upon checkout.
• no vintage items that aren't handmade. I love vintage, but these items get in the way of the true spirit of creativity. 
• more specific categories that open up brand new markets and inspiration. Some of these include recyclable materials, natural supplies and half-finished projects.
• available sister blog where you can request one of your products for a feature post
• a small site at the moment (but we're open to changing that fast!) Smaller means customer service right now is fast and personal. If you have questions, we've got fast answers.
• viral contests available. Donate an item and watch traffic flood to your shop as people share your items on Facebook and Twitter to gain entries in the contest. (Email shop (at) driftwoodmall (dot) com to inquire now about donating an item for the contest...or contact us from the site.)
• sellers are encouraged to share links to their Etsy shops, as well as their personal websites. We believe in abundance. There's enough to go around and everyone deserves a piece.

How Driftwood Mall is NOT Like Etsy (and maybe not so good ways):
we are a growing site that launched in May of 2012. Started by one person in a living room, this was an enormous project that spawned entirely from drive and passion. We don't have as many cool bells and whistles in place yet, but if you join and help us spread the word, all that is listed in this section may fall right into place.

• Etsy just added cool functionality to accept credit card payments without using Paypal. Currently, Paypal is the only payment option available at Driftwood Mall
• No forum (yet!)
• Not as well known yet, but you can help fix that as well.

The Law of Attraction

Most of you may have already heard of the law of attraction. If not, you have to go get the movie, The Secret. Or...follow my other blog. :)

Whether you know a little bit, a lot or even nothing about the Law of Attraction, it's working in your life. Just like the law of gravity....which is definitely working in my life!! The law of attraction, simply put, means 'like attracts like'. Good thoughts bring good things. If you're thinking crappy thoughts, especially about how you perceive your current reality, you're probably drawing in much of the same.

In order to properly use the law of attraction, to bring all the goodies your way, you kind of have to fake it til you make it. Put your head in the clouds, sing, dance and shout for joy. Then you'll begin to change your reality.

Think all this sounds crazy???

Maybe it is, a little. But, it works! It works wonders, like magic! Like miracles every day. And this is not some crazy mumbo jumbo new-age crap. Just because you haven't heard about it already, doesn't make it untrue.


The reason I post about this here, is because you can use the law of attraction in your life to create or bring about anything. Anything in your heart's desire.

This includes opportunities (the right ones!), money, relationships, more time, etc. You can't just snap your fingers and have it work, though. It takes some practice and some rearrangement of your brain. There's a science here, and I'm actually talking about scientific proof, like stuff your kids or grandkids will one day read about in their textbooks at school.

So, if you'd like to know more about how you can use the law of attraction in your life, I encourage you to begin by checking out some of the articles on my other blog: Beginner Holistic Healing. There's a contest you can enter as well. (Big banner at the top of the page.) This will get you 3 months free in our law of attraction community where you can begin learning from the top experts about how to use certain tools to enhance your experience.

If you've ever wanted your life to be great, the time is NOW! We can do it. Please comment or email with questions. This is the most exciting thing ever! Go check out the blog!

Guaranteed Way To Generate Web Traffic With Backlinks

This morning I found a really cool way to generate web traffic through backlinks. This is a free service (with potential for upgrade if you so desire). It's called the Free Traffic System and after some research I found that it gets fairly good reviews.

From what I can see so far, there are a few ways to generate guaranteed web traffic using backlinks and one way links from quality and targeted niche pages. They offer some pretty good beginner videos on each page to get you started, but I'll try to explain a little of how it works here.

The first way to generate up to 30 quality backlinks to bring quality web traffic is by submitting one of your articles into the system. There's even an option to spin your article and in about 5 minutes time you can have several versions of your article, to avoid duplicate content on 30 blogs. Basically, people who own blogs are looking for quality content to post, and your article will be published on those targeted blogs.

If you don't care to write articles, you can submit your blog to the site. Give it AUTHOR permission and others can submit articles to your site. You'll earn backlinks and generate web traffic to your own blog while offering your readers additional content.

Free Traffic System has an affiliate program as well. Ok, so we all know how affiliate programs work, right? You sign up people and hope they opt in for the pro upgrade so you can get paid. That's nothing new. But with this affiliate program, even when you sign up free members, you'll earn even more backlinks for those referrals and their referrals. It's a 2-tier program for generating web traffic to your blog. And if someone does decide to go pro, you get the bonus.

So, I'm pretty excited about seeing results and generating my own guaranteed web traffic with this program. I plan to take advantage of ALL the free tools and hope to see tons of backlinks to my favorite pages. Google pagerank 10 here I come! Ok, so that's wishful thinking, but increasing my pages even one pagerank and/or generating dozens of backlinks would be ok with me. Especially since this is a free system.

If you're using Free Traffic System already, I'd love to hear from you. As always, I'd love to hear from you even if you aren't using it. Say hello, leave some feedback!

Earn Extra Income with GPT Sites

Most of you probably know by now that I've made it my business to find all the great gpt sites and share what I learn. I like to avoid the scams altogether and earn extra income by participating in get paid to take surveys sites, get paid to write sites, and get paid to (gpt) do all kinds of other things sites. If my inbox gets filled with spam from a gpt site, I don't give out the link. I've researched all the sites that I share with you and I am able to earn extra income from each of them.

Over the past couple of months I've really been focusing on getting the word out on which gpt sites are the best to use to earn extra income. My very first endeavor was surveymoneymakers.com. This is a directly filled with info on legitimate surveys. I realized a while back that the information contained in this site is overwhelming. It's all great information about earning extra income by taking online surveys, but there's too much clicking.

So I've created some quick lists of all the good gpt sites that I know of so far, beginning with surveys by country, including those that welcome teens, and other gpt sites to earn extra income. Check out the following links:

Earn money taking online surveys-

US Surveys
Canada Surveys
UK Surveys
Australia Surveys
Teen Surveys
Other GPT Sites

Enjoy!
