Are you looking for more readers for your blog? Me too.
Are you trying to get more traffic to your Etsy shop? Me too.
I've been struggling to find affordable ways to advertise, and I'm sure
I'm not the only one out there. Then I stumbled upon a website called
www.ProjectWonderful.com and I do like their concept. We'll see
how it goes as I just started advertising with them. If you've never
heard of Project Wonderful, I invite you to check them out. I am
getting no money for mentioning them, I just like to help fellow artists
and bloggers like myself.
After discovering the Project Wonderful site, I began to think to
myself...what's wrong with me offering free advertising space to fellow
bloggers and Etsy artists as long as they agree to post my badge
(logo) on their blog as well?

So that is what I am doing. I know there are probably other sites out there that offer so-called free advertising, but I am not sure
that I trust most of them. All I want to do is get more people to visit our website and Etsy shop. Basically we are swapping
badges (logos), but I've come up with a few simple rules so there are no misunderstandings.
The rules are simple.
1. Ad size will be 180x150 or 125x125. I may be able to reduce your logo to the appropriate size.
3. You must provide me with a logo in the appropriate size along with the link you want me to link back to.
3. You must have an active blog or website to post my logo on. Active means at least one new post a week. I don't think that is
too much to ask. I will provide you with HTML code that can be inserted on most any blog or website. It will look something
like this:
4. I will only accept submissions from other Etsy artists or bloggers that blog about gardening or crafts in some way.
5. My logo, as seen on the right, must be linked to my website, www.gardensandcrafts.com. If you use the HTML code I
provide, that will automatically get redirected to this site.
6. If at any time I decide to discontinue this program, I will let you know so that you can remove my logo from your site, if you
choose to.
7. I will check your site periodically to make sure my logo appears. If it doesn't, I will immediately remove your logo from my
blog, no questions asked.
8. If for any reason, you want me to remove your logo from my site, just e-mail me. I will be glad to remove it, no questions
asked.
9. I will open this up to the first 12 Bloggers that respond.
10. I reserve the right to change these rules as the program progresses and issues come up.

daily by using Twitter and other advertising avenues, so if you ask me, it's a win win situation. If things progress well, I may open
up more ad spaces or other ad sizes or even decide to place ads on our main website, www.gardensandcrafts.com. But for now,
I will stay with just the blog. You can view our blog at www.gardensandcrafts.blogspot.com.
Don't have a logo? Not to worry. I created mine easily from free software called Paint.net. All you really need is a short slogan
and an image to get started. If time permits, I may even be able to help you design a logo of your own. No guarantees though...I
am not an expert graphics artist by any means, but I am willing to try and help if I can.
If you use Blogger for your blog and are not sure how to add HTML code or pictures to your blog, I have created a
few turotials to help you. They can be viewed here.
To get started, fill out the form below and specify which link you want advertised. The link can be
your blog or your Etsy shop. Please include the blog address that my badge will be displayed on so
I can check it out. Any questions just ask.
