A Little Experiment


Good morning bloggers! I decided to run a little experiment this morning. I wanted to see which would be better, renewing an item on Etsy, or tweeting the item on Twitter. So I renewed the item first. I counted the views in the next 10 minutes. I got 1 view. I waited awhile to be sure that was all, and it was. Then I tweeted the same item on Twitter. Within 10 minutes I had 20 views and it's still going up!
Now, I know this is not very scientifically sound. But it is interesting nonetheless.

  1. It is interesting. Kinda makes you want to set a 'tweet this item' date rather than worry about the expiration date on some things, dun't it!

  2. Just found your blog today through twitter. This is an interesting post. I think you should continue to test this theory. You may end up with some 'scientifically sound' information in the end.

    Love your work! Awesome style and character to your pieces. I'll be back!

  3. Thank you so much Cindy! It's great to know that you found me through Twitter too! I will continue to compare these. I already love Twitter. It's my very own "prairie home companion". :D

  4. Have you experimented with having your shop RSS feed post to Twitter? I see folks who do that but I haven't been posting much on Etsy so I don't know if it would do me any good...
