How To Support A Small Business Without Buying Anything
Shop Small Without Having to Shop at All

If you have clicked on our Etsy shop, we appreciate you. If you have even thought of buying something from us, you are appreciated. Just reading a blog about our business is very appreciated.
A little under two weeks ago, I announced that my mom, sister, and I opened a small online business. (Click here for that blog.) Lots of kind comments were left under that post, and it was very encouraging for the three of us.
When I announced our business, I understood that many of those who read my blogs wouldn’t be interested in buying one of our products. There is nothing wrong with that. In fact, the amount of support we did receive wasn’t taken lightly.
It got me thinking though. How does one support a small business without buying anything? There are actually a few ways to do so.
1. Just clicking on the link, helps the algorithm.
The more clicks a business gets… The more popular it becomes.
Our online business is through Etsy. If people start clicking on that link more, Etsy will think that there is a higher demand for our products. We will move up on front…
