The Premiere Artisan Co-Op for Promoting on the Web

[Rebecca D. Dillon]

Handmade items, handmade artisans, handmade code, handmade friendships. This is the revolution of the handmade playground. It starts with a simple guy, Adam, also known on etsy and artfire as infivision. He decided he wanted a better social experience to promote handmade. While ning offers this to some extent, he felt it was too generic and has a poor user interface. In a quest for something better he developed http://byhand.me. Initially designed and created in under a week, ByHand serves as a free artisan co-op for those who make handmade and those who buy handmade. Here's a run down of what you can expect from the site:

* Artisan Directory
* Spotlights
* Forums
* Member Blogs
* Social Networking
* Chat
* Private Messaging
* RSS Feeds
* Handmade Wishlists
* Clubhouses
* Trading Manager
* And more..

Additionally, ByHand.me is a non-profit community. All funds received from ad revenue are spent on ads to promote the ByHand community. ByHand actively advertises to both artists and buyers. Most recently ByHand was featured in Bella Magazine and is advertising on Decor 8 Blog. We advertise to buyers, not other artists.
