Get the skinny on BNR's on Etsy!

So I have been a member of the Etsy community for less than a year now and one night while crawling through the forums looking for advice to better my shop a lovely woman by the shop name of Claudia Bruno suggested I check out BNR's (buy and replace) and that through them you get sales and free advertising. Being a total noob in the Etsy world I of course didn't have the slightest idea what a BNR was! Claudia was great and explained everything! So now i'm passing on my knowledge! 
If you go into the treasury section of Etsy and search for BNR you'll find multiple treasuries full of people chatting and hanging out! So what you do: Every BNR is slightly different based on the Curator but there will be a list of rules. Here are Feltery's rules for the BNR that is going on today:

1. Min. $3 purchase.
2. You may buy ANY item from any of the shops.
3. NO need to call out shop name. 
4. Post transaction LINK.
5. Next round starts after 12 sales, where you will be featured.
6. Help spread the word!


That is pretty much the jist of it. I've gotten a lot more views in my shop and even hits on my blog and new fbook and twitter friends. It is a great networking tool if used properly! And just think, there are 12 people featured in each BNR including yourself, and everyone has their own people that follow them and they are promoting the BNR on twitter, and facebook and sending out convo's ... it's a lot of great exposure to your shop!!! 

Here are a few great BNR's that you can check out!
