Marketing an e-commerce store takes a lot of time and learning. I've joined Auctiva's community board and am really glad I did. The support is outstanding! Ask a question, and almost immediately you have people helping. I've posted my store URL on several of their blogs, and we now have a new Auctiva Mall to showcase our logos.

I am discouraged, though, because a google search did not show many listings for me. The items I have listed are showing up in searches but are yielding very few actual clicks on my items.

Today, I learned how to add a really neat showcase for my items - from PictureTrail. I added it to my "welcome" page - click my icon ~ what do you think???



At this point, I'm really doubtful that I will make a go of this store. But even if it doesn't succeed, I've learned a lot more computerese, so maybe it was worth it!
