Etsy Treasury How To

I am in Tim Adams New Etsy Team and we were discussing treasuries and how to get the clicks and views like some people have hundreds of. Here is what Tim's advice was to me:

There are a few factors that can make a treasury popular:

1. Title/topic
2. First 3 items
3. Promotion

Title/Topic
Make your title is catchy, interesting, funny, and clickable. Also try to pick topics that are hot right now. There is a list of the top trending treasury topics right on the right hand side... use them to your advantage.

First 3 items:
Make sure you are placing the best 3 items in the first 3 spots. This will ensure the clickability of your treasury.

Promotion:
There is power in numbers. With a good topic and items your treasury should do well. But it will not survive and make it to the top with out a little promotion.

First:
You can convo all the sellers in your treasury and let them know you have featured them Encourage them to stop by click around and leave a comment.

*Reminder: A treasury will move up the ranks based on views, clicks, and comments.

Second:
Tweet about your treasury. Go through your treasury list and try to include the sellers in each tweet. ex: @timothyadam

Third:
Share on Facebook.

Forth:
Blog about your treasury. You can make a nice clickable treasury for your blog. Here is a how-to : http://www.handmadeology.com/new-etsy-treasury-tool-quickly-add-any-etsy-treasury-to-your-blog-or-webpage/
