Design and Content Management System
I am using Blogger as my platform for the club. I find it very user friendly. As most jewelry designers/ bloggers here use Blogger too, it is easy for them to join the club since the platform is familiar to theirs.
Domain Name
The club started using the domain diyjewelryclub.blogspot.com. I have subsequently bought the current domain name to reflect the purpose of the club better. It also shows professionalism and seriousness to build and grow the club. Since domain name is rather cheap, I would recommend that you buy one for yourself too. I got mine from netfirms.com at USD6.99 per year.
Google Analytics
I’ve set up Google Analytics on handmade-jewelry-club . While it is a little slow and not great for analyzing stats as traffic events are happening on your blog in real time it’s such a solid tool that it was a no brainer of a choice.
I will write further on how I promote the club in my next post. Watch out for the articles!
