Etsy's Handmade Blog
Join the Etsy Facebook Community: New Etsy Fan Page & My Etsy Application
Story by anda, eetzee, Vanessa

More Etsy fun on Facebook! Become a fan of our Facebook page and install the new My Etsy application.

Show Some Love for Our Brand New Facebook Page
Check it out here and click the Become a Fan button. If you're already a fan, well then hey, aren't you too cool for school! We redesigned the page to give new visitors a better sense of what Etsy is all about.

We'll be featuring lots of gorgeous items on there, plus you can get a snapshot of what's going on at Etsy through blog feeds, videos and lots of other enticing bits.

  • Stay up-to-date about special promotions.
  • Find out about events and get reminders.
  • Share photos with us.
  • Join the lively discussions on our Facebook wall.

Get the New My Etsy Facebook Application
Install the new application called My Etsy, which automatically feeds in your most recent 21 Etsy Favorites and 5 favorite sellers to a special tab on your Facebook profile or your fan page. It's a great way to support handmade and share your good taste. You don't have to have an Etsy shop; the app can tell if your Etsy account is shopping-only and will default to your faves.

Here are some ideas for fun ways to share your picks by using this app:

  • Load your Favorites up with your holiday wishlist and share it with your friends and family.
  • Transform your Favorites into a Treasury list — along a theme or color palette. We might even feature your list on the home page of Etsy, our Community Hub or The Storque.
  • Fill your Favorites with some items you think a friend would like and share it with her.
  • Bloggers, with the new My Etsy app, you can pull in an RSS feed of your blog to your My Etsy tab, a great way to share your blog and your favorite Etsy items together.

We want to see what you love! Once you've added the tab, link to your page or profile on Etsy's wall here. We'll be searching for fresh items for a special Gift Guide, so use the app to show us your picks.

Here's a sample of what the app looks like:

If you're a seller, check out this how-to with tips for using the new My Etsy Facebook app to promote your business: Seller How-To: Plug in the My Etsy Facebook Application. Here are some reasons why you should install the app:

  • Get notified if your item is featured on Etsy's home page or in a Gift Guide.
  • Build out your business' fan page with your latest items automatically.

More Options for Facebook
The new My Etsy Facebook application joins our suite of options for sharing the Etsy experience on Facebook:

  • Use Facebook Connect to post your newly listed items and Favorites to your Facebook News Feed.
  • Look for the Share link on item listing pages, shop pages and public Favorites pages for an easy way to post to Facebook and other sites.
  • NOTE: We suggest that you start using the new app instead of the original Etsy Shop Facebook application. It's much better, and Facebook is phasing out the apps that appear as a "box."

The application updates about once an hour, so if your Favorites or listings don't appear immediately, that's why. If you're having other technical difficulties, make sure to check out our Help section.

What are you waiting for? Get set up!

I'm such a huge Etsy fan! I am beyond grateful they they have come up with such a genious way to shop and promote the handmade community. There are so many talented people out there who just don't know what to do with their work. I was one of them. I was just getting ready to give up, when I found Etsy. Thank you to everyone behind this amazing community!

I was already an etsy fan, but didn't have my own fan page, so I had to set one up. Wasn't too difficult. Wondering how I can ditch that awkward, long url for my fan page.

Anyone?

An My Etsy tab and an My Other Etsy tab.

Perhaps a future app.
