Here are the EtsyBloggers Membership Requirements ♥
♥ ♥
By registering to become a member of EtsyBloggers,
you are agreeing to all of the below detailed Membership Requirements on this
page:
1) You must be either an Etsy seller or buyer.
2) You must have a blog.
3) You must love Etsy!
4) Since the launch of the rockin' EtsyBloggers team way back in 2007, this was one of the initial rules: You must play nice. This is a team environment. And we like to keep it drama-free and positive at all times. Afterall, this is a lovely bunch of ladies and gentlemen. Please remember to be respectful of your team members at all times! Besides, who wants to be wasting time spreading negativity and causing drama-filled nonsense, instead of creating, selling, blogging, and enjoying a positive life? Not me, and hopefully not you! Therefore, we will not tolerate ANY negativity, anywhere! Not on Etsy, not on our team's Message Board, in our Etsy forum threads, or at any of our other team events, teammate communications, or locations. Also be sure to consider that your customers/potential customers may likely be where the EtsyBloggers are, and we surely don't want to lose them! Violators of this rule will be banned.
"That's my gift. I let that negativity roll off me like water off a duck's back. If it's not positive, I didn't hear it. If you can overcome that, fights are easy." - George Foreman
"The best way of removing negativity is to laugh and be joyous." - David Icke
5) If you agree to the above, then continue reading! We're very happy to have you here, and you can now apply for our team via these below required 5 STEPS. However, if you do not agree because you are simply a negative person and that is just how you are, then consider reading this information: How to Mix Creativity and Negativity and have a nice day!

Before you continue reading this page in
its entirety, just a quick note about our EtsyBloggers monthly requirements:
In a nutshell, our monthly team requirements involve a) writing 2 blog posts
every month, and then simply b) giving us the links to your 2 blog posts within
the monthly ROLL CALL thread.
Good for your blog, and good for you!
Sweet Bloggy Goodness all around!!
6)You
can register for our EtsyBloggers team now or anytime you wish, but please
note new members are only accepted once per month,
and there is only one Admin & Team Captain to maintain memberships, and
I happen to have a life outside of Etsy too...sometimes :) and two children
under 5 years old, and a baby on the way in early 2012...not to mention the
hubbs and the two dogs and we're also relocating from NC to NY in October
2011. Therefore, yep, kinda busy these days...so patience is an absolute must...for
all of us. :)
And thank goodness for all of our EtsyBloggers
Team Volunteers seen here on our team blog!
7) In order to fulfill your monthly EtsyBloggers membership requirements, you must be an "active" team member.
Active membership means the following:
a) you must participate in at least 1 "Blog
Carnical" per month (this means you write a blog post 1x/mo. The topics
are found every two weeks via the link atop this page, but only 1 post required/month),
and
b) you must write a blog post about our monthly Featured EtsyBloggers (this
involves writing a blog post 1x/mo about a teammate selected by the Team Captain),
and
c) you must check-in at our monthly ROLL CALL thread. (this takes a moment
and is where you can share your links, also occurs 1x/mo)
Every month you'll receive an eMail with a link to the current ROLL CALL thread,
and that's where you will sign-in to say hi to your teammates, and also that
is where you will post a link to the above 2 mentioned blog posts, and of
course also post your links so we can visit you.
If you miss ROLL
CALL for 1 month, that is totally ok,
no worries, you will not be removed from the team.
If you miss ROLL CALL for 2 months,
hey, things happen, and life gets in the way of EtsyBloggers. But you should
jump back in and be sure to participate in the next ROLL CALL thread.
If you miss ROLL CALL for 3 months,
then you will be removed from the team.
