Many of my readers have "cottage" businesses, or work from home businesses, sell items on ebay or etsy, etc.  And for all of us working from our homes, the "name of the game" is to get the word out about our products.  The quotation "the more you tell, the more you sell" is certainly true here!

SewVillage.com is one of  of  those places where you can find information about hundreds of products AND put in a free listing of your website, blog or etsy store!  SewVillage is a sewing and crafting search engine, which makes it an outstanding place to tell the world about what you have to offer.

Another important thing to consider when spreading the word about what you have to offer is to post on forums that are in your niche.  Those of us who are in the sewing and crafting area would look for sewing forums or crafting forums.  In this regard check out SewTalk and SewForum -- both of which are great for passing along your tips, help to answer other peoples' questions and in general get to know others that share the same interests and businesses that you have.  SewTalk's theme is "so talk about it" -- in other words, log in there and "talk" -- help somebody that has a question, help somebody find products or notions they're looking for, OR if you're needing a little help or advice, this is the place to ask your question.

Take advantage of the places where you can get word out about your products and watch your own sales increase.
