Featuring Etsy Shops On The MIVEST Blog

How Featuring Etsy Shops On The MIVEST Blog Works
 If your shop is the last one to be featured, it is your turn to feature a shop.  Please do this within one to two weeks of when your shop was featured.  This will create a continuous circle of "Features."

How To Become A Blog Author If You Aren't Already
 Before you can write a post on the  MIVEST blog,  you have to be listed as an author of the blog.  If you know you are not listed as an author, or you don't know if you are or not, write an email into the group asking if you are listed as an author.  If you aren't, you will soon receive an email from Google that will explain what to do.

How To Select A Shop To Feature
On the sidebar of the MIVEST blog is a list of members' shops you can choose from, and/or you can browse through the Etsy Minis list to pick out a shop you would like to feature. Pick a shop that hasn't been featured within the last six months or so, so that all members will eventually get featured and will have written a feature. You can find out which shops have been featured, by going to our MIVEST blog and finding the list of Featured Etsy Shops on the sidebar. 

Contact Person Whose Shop You Would Like To Feature
Once you have selected the shop you would like to feature, contact the shop owner to let that person know that you would like to feature their shop on the MIVEST blog. In the same email ask them if they would be willing to feature a shop within a week or two.  If that person does not reply within a day or two, or replies and says they can not feature a shop within a couple of weeks, please select another shop to feature.

If You Are Featured, And Have Agreed To Write The Next Feature, But For Unforeseen Reasons Can't
Sometimes life throws road blocks in the way of doing what we intend to do.  If this happens, write into the group, stating something like, "do to unforeseen circumstances, I will be unable to do the next feature.  Would someone else be willing to take my place?"

What To Do After You've Written Your Feature Of Another Shop
After you've written your feature, write into the group at MadeinVermontEtsyteam@yahoogroups.com stating you've done so, so that everyone can go read your feature :-)
