SRAJD Blog: http://srajd.blogspot.com/

Our blog is a great place to start.  2014 was jam-packed with themed creations from our weekly challenges.  If you want to check out the inspiring designs, just start browsing through the pages.  In 2015, we will be adding more technically informative blog posts as well as snippets of discussion on various jewelry-making topics.

 

SRAJD Facebook Pages

Our Main Discussion Page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/SRAJD/

Here is where all the chit chat happens before it goes anywhere else.  If you want to be at the forefront of the happenings, this is the place to be.  This group page is for discussions of anything related (and occasionally not related) to the jewelry making business.  We ask questions, we share inspiration, we discuss technique, etc.  This is a private group, so outsiders can’t see what we discuss or share.

Our Fan Page: https://www.facebook.com/SRAJDgroup

AKA our “FB Business Page”.  Here is where you will show the public your creations.  Active SRAJD members are encouraged to share two of their listings per day.  You post the URL to your listing and by the next morning I will have transferred it to the main timeline where everyone can see it.  Get interactive too!  The more we share, like, and comment on posts from our fan page, the more these posts will show up on the timelines of our friends and then friends of friends, etc.

Our SEO Page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/SRAJDSEO/

Where we discuss search engine optimization.

Our Photography Page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/SRAJDPhotographyLessons/

Where we discuss issues related to cameras, photography, and photo editing.

Our Critique Page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/SRAJDWebsiteCritiqueGroup/

Where you can get a critique of your online shop and help others by offering insight into theirs.

Our Destash Page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/SRAJDdestash/

Where you can get rid of some of your excess supplies and/or pick up some great deals from other SRAJD members.

Our Etsy Treasuries Page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/SRAJDetsytreasuries/

Where we promote our Etsy shops through treasuries and other activities.
