Staying VISIBLE within Zibbet
As the word spreads about Zibbet, the number of sellers grows EVERY day (see how many sellers we currently have on Zibbet).
If you’re serious about making sales you need to know how to increase your exposure and STAY VISIBLE within Zibbet! This is one of the most important articles to implement if you want to be a successful seller on Zibbet.
Here are the best ways to stay visible within Zibbet:
1. Advertise in the SHOWROOM!
This is by far the best way to stay visible within Zibbet. The ‘Showroom’ is an internal advertising system, which allows you (sellers) to promote your work and increase sales, whilst also ‘raising the profile’ of your shop. Advertising in the Showroom can also lead to buyers adding you as one of their ‘favorite sellers’ and adding your item/s to their ‘favorite items’ (i.e. It has long terms benefits as well).
The Zibbet site has been structured so that Showroom advertisers get maximum exposure. Read more about the Showroom and BOOK YOUR SPOT
2. Better ‘Tagging’
A ‘tag’ is a keyword or term assigned to help ‘describe’ your item and allows it to be found when users browse or search Zibbet. Read more about ‘Tagging’.
3. List Items Regularly
Each time you list a new item on Zibbet you instantly become more visible. Items that are ‘Just Listed’ are featured on the home page for all to see. And just as exciting, is that users are presented with ‘most recently listed’ items first when searching. Users can change the way the results are sorted, but ‘most recently listed’ is the default shown every time.
4. Submit Articles to the Zibbet Blog
Writing articles for the Zibbet Blog is a great way to raise your shop awareness. We include a link to the ‘writers’ shop at the beginning and end of each article. If you would like to contribute to the Zibbet blog, please email your ideas to blog@zibbet.com.
5. Participate in Forums and Comment on the Zibbet Blog
If you are a member of Zibbet’s, you are part of the Zibbet Community. Participating in forums and commenting on the Zibbet blog is a great way for you to participate in the Zibbet Community. You will meet lots of great, likeminded people and HAVE FUN doing it. Making connections with other sellers is a great way to boost the profile of your shop, and often the people you meet and connect with will check out your shop and if they like what they see, they may tell other people about your shop or possibly even buy something for themselves.
If you have any questions about anything you’ve read, please ask. Have fun!

Thanks!
Dear fellow artists, we can all try to find extra ways to get ourselves noticed, but ultimately I believe it comes down to exploiting all of zibbets magnificent web capabilities of tags, favourites and good descriptions etc, but also in giving the customers what they want to receive, and not what we want to foist onto them. It’s the basis of all effective advertising and business. We have to ask ourselves are we exploring what the public likes, or are we merely indulging our own obsessions and fantasies? I don’t condemn either approach, but I do think we need to be more honest with ourselves if we are to be successful. And what is success? - Being number one on 100 most popular zibbeters or just selling the most articles. I’m pleased with my hits, but how I would love to have some sales. I have the questions, but not the answers. Let’s have some barnstorming ideas and debate - aggreement disagreement and fresh ideas.
I like to help others and also for others to advise and help me. Too often I think we artists tend to be too much the egotists, loners and competitors and I include myself.
I don’t wish to be contentious, but in this present climate of art melt-down, I believe we need to find new creative answers.
I don’t understand the Showroom and how to get my items in there - I’ve done a search on the blog for Showroom and not got any answers. Can you write a post about how the showroom works. Thanks.
@Milomade: Currently the Showroom is not yet open for bookings. At the moment it is pulling items randomly from the site. We plan to open the Showroom up to sellers in the next couple of months. Sorry for any confusion!
I’ve recently joined zibbet and these tips should be a great help for me. Thanks!
I’m thankful that I found Zibbet, the more exposure the better. I still am learning the art of internet sales. Plan on studying more about the selling end. It is very hard for me to promote my items, I am better at making them. Prudy’s Country Crafts/prudysknits1
I’m glad I spotted Jonathan’s reply to milomade. The first thing I wanted to look into after setting up the shop was-where can I advertise on the site? Social networking, blogging, and submitting to galleries is essential but a bit of exposure in paid showroom goes a long way too!
Great ideas! Thanks for all the tips, can wait to hear more and really explore Zibbet’s potential!
Thanks for all the great info
The top 100 zibbeters doesn’t work.
But great post!
I think (for those commenting on what isn’t yet functioning) that for the most part Zibbet is very new. They’re still working hard at getting things up and running properly.
I see new, positive changes every day and I look forward to that continuing as more and more options become available on the site.
Great tips.Thanks.
Great tips. Im new here and need all the tips I can get.
