Want to add your Etsy shop to Facebook? You can with Wishpot!

Have you heard of Wishpot? It's a wonderful tool for both shoppers and indie shop owners alike.

Wishpot is an online service that lets you add anything you want to your Wishpot wish list or registry. It's perfect for your gift list, birthday wish list, wedding registry, honeymoon registry, baby registry, Christmas list and much more.

When you sign up for Wishpot and become an Indie Expert and you can add your shop to the Wishpot website and with their new Facebook application, you can also add your Etsy shop to your Facebook Fan Page, not profile, but FAN PAGE!

I have been a Wishpot member for a few years but recently signed up to be an Indie Expert. Not only can you post your shop to Wishpot and Facebook, when you update your blog it automatically posts it to Wishpot. Wishpot is another social networking site that is valuable for your shop and yet another great way to get yourself out there.

I have only scratched the surface on some of the features Wishpot offers. They keep adding more great things, I totally recommend them and I am happy to be a member.

Even if you aren't a seller Wishpot is a wonderful tool to keep track of things you want all over the web. My family has been using Wishpot for a few years to keep track of the kids wish lists for birthdays and holidays, it's so easy for them, we have added the "add to Wishpot" button to our browser and the kids can add anything they find online to their wish lists, even Etsy items!

Here is a link to get the most out of wishpot as an Indie Expert. It goes into details and includes links about the features listed above.

Click the button below to go to my Wishpot and see my profile, I would love some more friends so please add me if you like!

Let me know if you have trouble, I have an email for a very friendly, very helpful lady at Wishpot that can help you set everything up.

*** UPDATE *** It's not very clear on the site as to how to become a  vendor or indie expert. Once you have created your Wishpot account, please email merchants@wishpot.com to request a vendor account,  when I requested mine, I included links to my shop and blog. It may take a few days before they get back to you. In the meantime, explore the site and get started creating lists, it will help you to become more familiar with everything.
