Do you use, or have you considered using, the social network Tsu to market your Small Business?
Tsu will be celebrating it’s first birthday in October. For those who don’t know it is a social network that shares out the advertising revenue amongst the people who make the content.
People like me.
You earn money by posting (although not very much) and more if you recruit a network of people.
And, if you are a business, people can use the money they have earned to buy things from you.
It took a number of months to establish myself on Tsu before I began to have some sales. I have had a number of sales via my Etsy store from Tsu users and I have had two sales using Tsu dollars (money that other people have earned, that they have transfered to my Tsu account).
The downside? You can’t cash out your Tsu bank until it reaches at least 100$, so for small business’ it could take some time to get there. Payment is via cheque if you are a US business, or Paypal for those of us outside of the USA.
There has been a lot of talk about Tsu being a scam: it is not. Neither is it a place to make a fast buck, but you can certainly find a place to market your wares.
Now there is a group on Tsu for Small Businesses “That’s MY Business” where fellow business owners can share tips, advice, successes and quibbles.
If you would like to join Tsu here is your personal invitation.
If you are already on Tsu and would like to join “That’s MY Business” here is how you do it.
Please feel free to share your experiences of doing business on Tsu with me!

Halloween is coming to the FeltBuzz Etsy store…
Happy Sunday!
Good morning lovely people I do hope you are all feeling fabulous this morning! The sun is shining here. We have some people in the B&B leaving and no one arriving today, so if you don’t count serving breakfast and cleaning the room it is practically a day off. Although there always could be a knock at the door, of course…
I am currently working on some more TeenyWeeniePet dragon jewellery which I will post for you later, hopefully. I really need to update Etsy (there never seems enough time in the day!): I still need to put more Halloween stuff on. I am resisting the Christmas stuff until September!
Hopefully we will get out for a nice long walk. I fancy a picnic down by the river, so we will see what happens…
What are you guys up to?
New TeenyWeeniePet Pendants coming soon to Felt.Buzz
One of our guest in the B&B asked if I could make pendants as well as earrings. I love the result, so expect to see them soon in my Etsy store!

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day!
To celebrate the great British Breakfast (and for a bit of a laugh) Felt.Buzz has designed four hair clips (which can also be used as fridge magnets). Ideal for breakfast lovers, parties, Halloween or people who like to draw attention to themselves!
They are available as a set on Etsy!
Be original today!
Morning my lovelies! How are you today? Don’t be a sheep! Don’t follow this link to my etsy shop to see my needle-felted sheep and other creations! Unless you want to. ‘Cos I would love to see you there. But don’t do it because you think you should… 😉
First Tsu Dollar transaction: Happy customer: Happy me!
As some as you may know I can be found on the Social Network Tsu (click here for your personal invitation to join). This network is different from most others because it pays you a percentage of it’s advertising revenue (it only takes 10% for itself, the rest is divided between the people who make the content, and those who have referred them). Most people aren’t going to make a lot of money from Tsu (maybe 2-10cents a day) for posting what they would normally post on other networks or on their blog, but hey! it’s something, right? A lot of people on Tsu transfer their earnings to one of the many registered charities on Tsu.
You can ‘cash in’ your Tsu dollars when the total reaches $100 or more. Whilst you can not add to your Tsu bank from external sources (i.e. there is no way you can transfer money into it using PayPal, etc) you can accept transfers/payments/donations from other users.
Felt.Buzz has found Tsu a really friendly place to hang out, with many different types of people from all over the world, many of them very creative. He has also made several sales to people he has ‘met’ on Tsu (directing them to Etsy, or taking payments via paypal).
Felt.Buzz has now completed his first Tsu transaction: four of his TeenyWeeniePets are now living in USA with a very happy Kayla (pictured below). You can see her original Tsu post by clicking here.
To join Tsu, you can find your personal invitation here.
Morning!
