Made a reel to reel player looking bag

[mikesc]

Reddit, ha..the place where links to stolen nude pics of female movie stars and "deepfakes" and the software to make them can stay up for days or weeks, until the lawyers and the police decide to get involved, and yet they won't allow you to link to your own leatherwork site, They have now gone so far up their own ******** that they couldn't find their way out with even with the aid of a Platoon of Marines and the searchlight that calls Batman to Gotham.

I think good old fashioned jealousy of your talent and imagination might be influencing them there...just a brontosaurus's smidgen..

if not for your watermark, i would have never known where to buy the pattern. I see nothing wrong here myself.

Thank you for the purchase sir! I think I might have recognized you from your location :). If you have any trouble with the pattern please don't spare me any questions.

It's a shame really because the community is made of people who just want to learn and connect. A lot of people looking for patterns and they won't allow a link because the pattern actually costs some petty cash. It is also expected of you to describe your pattern in a comment. It could work for bracelets and coin purses but not for 20+ page patterns.

Maybe the people who are "looking" will "search" and "look" here or on your site..Get someone to create an account there ( don't use your IP ) and link to here in a comment..."looking for leatherwork advice and help, try this place, "link" " Their loss, leatherworker.net's gain :)

Only just seen this thread and must say I admire your skills in making the bag and also your lateral thinking to come out with such a novel design, I can see you having a great design lifetime ahead as few can have the ability to come out with something entirely original like you

That's a very good advice I will be sure to follow.

Marius..re your "logo"..Better to link the logo to https://www.leatherhubpatterns.com/ for people wishing to buy your patterns..unless you are happy to keep paying etsy the commission on every sale that you make..make it so that you can be found via etsy and directly..if you want to be found. :)

I’m really not happy with Etsy but the website is powered by them at the moment. I linked to both the shop and the website as I don’t get a lot of traffic from neither yet, being new to the market and all. I hope in the future for the webpage to become less dependent on Etsy and perhaps I will make a standalone website for that domain. As for now I think it helps with the SEO to leave it as it is. I appreciate your advice nonetheless

Ah..I hadn't looked at your source code to see that indeed what appears to be your "standalone" website is powered by etsy..You could use prestashop* ( free ) and "skin it" ( I see that you code ) to match your current design..and the back end payments systems connects to whichever bank(s) etc that you want it to..

That would not hurt SEO in any way..you could run a "standalone" site shop and also your etsy shop..you would not be competing with yourself for SERPs. :) ..You might even get lucky and get a "six pack" in G SERPs, despite what they claim about having "dialled that effect back" it still is very frequent, and can be "engineered" ( without incurring penalties )to happen in certain geo search markets , niches ..

Other "shopping site platforms" are available..but prestashop is easy to install and run, and pretty secure ( as much as anything with UGI can be ) ..or you could "roll your own" ..your designs show "lateral thinking"..your "marketing" will benefit from the same approach. :)
