TEAM INFO
TEAM MEMBER REQUIREMENTS:
1. If you're here, congratulations! You've already completed your first and primary requirement, which is to sign up for your official team Hive membership here on Ning! So, onto requirement number two,
2. Actively check in and participate in your team Hive here on Ning! As anyone who loves Bees knows, each member of a hive plays an important role and for a hive to survive, everyone has to participate. Even if you read all the active threads and don't have anything to contribute, you can tell us about your new projects/crafts, or say Hi in the Chat thread.
3. Tag your Etsy items with our team tag "Beeteam." This is a very important requirement of the team because for all of our Etsy shops to succeed, people need to be able to find you. Wouldn't you love to be in as many team Treasuries and features as possible? If you tag your items, you'll be on your way!
Why do I need to check in over here at Ning? We have many reasons to be a team Hive together here at Ning! The Forums here at Ning are the most efficient way we have of sharing Team News and information. When a team Challenge is going on, you can find all of the information about it here at Ning. When we have a team sale, you'll be able to find out what you need to know and how you can participate here at Ning. If we want to schedule a team meeting (in the Etsy chat rooms), we'll be posting information and comparing schedules here on Ning. I know that email and Etsy Convos might seem like a more convenient way to communicate, but believe me, it's not. When you see a beehive, and a bee has found a wonderful field of flowers, that honeybee comes back to the hive and does her little dance to show the other bees how to find the treasure. Imagine if that poor little bee had to dance her little dance for each of the other bees on a one-on-one basis. It would take forever and communication would fail miserably. If we all check in here at Ning, those of us with news and ideas we want to share only have to write it down once, here. It saves a lot of time and energy copying/pasting. Plus, we don't risk getting our Etsy convos locked!
How to add your Etsy Mini to your "My Page"
1. Login to your Etsy shop, click on Your Etsy at the top, and scroll down.
2. On the bottom left side of the screen, click on Etsy Mini.
3. Choose your options (Thumbnails and 5 columns wide works best).
4. Right click in the “Copy this code for the Flash version” box and choose copy.
5. Go to your My Page, click on the text box edit button. Right click in the text box and choose paste to add the code.
6. Click save. Your Etsy mini will be up and running!
REGARDING PARTICIPATION:
Without input from everyone, it's hard to come together as a team. We can't do promotions. We can't bounce ideas off one another. We can't set goals. We need to know what goals we have for the team or what's the point? What do you want to gain from being on a team? What can you contribute to a team? It's hard to fulfill either of those if we never hear from some of our members.
Therefore, if we go more than a couple of months without hearing from you, you will quite possibly be deleted from the team. Please don't take this personally! It is so that we aren't wasting our time or your time by sending you needless info that you might not want, via email or Etsy convo. If there has been a mistake or you wish to rejoin, you can convo samanthasartstudio on Etsy and I'd be happy to re-add you. Also if you've joined and found that you don't have the time or interest in participating, there is nothing wrong with saying so :)
