ONLINE PLATFORMS
FOR NETWORKING WITH CRAFTERS AND ARTISANS
Online platforms ease networking. However, when using the internet, you
should be aware of some basic rules known as the netiquette, and these
include using respectful language, not excluding others, respecting others
privacy, reviewing information before publishing it, avoiding spamming,
updating information published online (e.g., on social media accounts).
Especially for craft blogging there is a set of rules to follow:
Self-promote only where it’s acceptable, which means promoting your work
on the sites of others only by their acceptance. This aspect must be
considered when you are sharing your work on social media channels or
popular blogs that have their own policies that you should know and
follow.
Build your crafty network list by request, which means that you cannot
collect the data of your followers or notification recipients without their
consent due to the GDPR.
Regularly respond to your blog comments. In this way you are appreciating
that others are reading your blog,
and you are also building your
network of contacts.
And remember to give credit to the
work of others you are sharing
on your own blog.
