We have all seen the beautiful treasuries on the front page of Etsy and thought…

I want to be on the Front Page!!!!!!!!!!

So off we go taking better pictures, we research tags and make sure our items are tagged perfectly….. and no front page love.

What gives???

Well there is more to it than having amazing product, pictures and tags… you have to put yourself out there.

1. Do it yourself!

You are more likely to get noticed by other treasury makers when you make a treasury yourself!

Here is an Etsy article on just how to make a treasury: How to Make A Treasury

2. You’re in a Treasury… now what

The best way to know if you are in a treasury is to go to Craftopolis here you can see if you are in any treasuries.

Then, share the news!! Post it to your Twitter, Facebook, Blog, MySpace… share it where you can!!

Don’t forget to comment and click on the treasury, and thank the curator.

3. Make yourself Known

How are treasury curators going to find you amidst the masses?? Because you post on their treasuries…it’s your introduction into their world.

I find that when you comment on a treasury with a well-thought, and articulate post, you will get noticed a heck of a lot faster then just saying “great picks”.


I hope to see you on the front page soon!!!!

    As a relatively new Etsy seller I am just so humbled and grateful to be in a circle of other artists sharing experience, wisdom, and great tips like the ones in this little article. Thank you for another inspiring read.

    Great post, I’ve been making a lot of treasuries lately and I’ve found the treasury timer to be invaluable to the whole process!

    Great article, and great advice. I love to make treasuries, and find the more I make and the more i comment on, the more traffic to my shop. So I know it works!

    This is a great article. I have not had the courage to do a treasury yet but I will soon. They just seem like getting it posted it so hard. I have actually had a watch or two included on treasuries. It was a great compliment.

    I have just started participating in Treasury East within the last month. I find I do get a few more clicks to my shop when I release a new one. It is important to remember to click on each of the 16 items in for Treasury East so Craftopolis can find them.

    Fabulous post, and so very, very true! I struggled in my early days, trying to figure out how to get into treasuries and how to invite traffic to my shop. Once I started curating, my soaps started getting featured in more treasuries. It was definitely because the treasuries are such fantastic networking tools, but I think curating and studying treasuries also helps you figure out what types of photos really WOW in collections. I was able to improve many of my product photos because of what I learned from curating treasuries. Thanks for the great post (and the reminder to go craft another treasury ;-)

    Thank you so much for this. I will go back to it later and would love to try to make a treasury! This sharing aspect is probably the best part of what the Etsy community does!
