ToldYa: Social Selling for Entrepreneurs and Craftsmen

In the last few years, the blogosphere has made the concept of promoting new designs and ideas both easy and accessible. The people from ToldYa have devised a way to sell these ideas and designs in the very same channel through which we communicate. It’s a portable, embeddable online store that lets you buy and sell among friends on social networks, blogs and web sites with ease and security. Using a web-based software platform to create, host, and manage widget-based Portable Stores, ToldYa allows you to copy your products directly on your profiles on social networking sites like MySpace and Facebook, as well as to your own blog. Where services like Etsy.com have created a platform for selling your own ideas, Toldya opens up that platform and gives users the opportunity for placement in their own social channels. Add a video, some basic details, spread the word and accept payments through credit cards– this could prove to be a helpful tool for craftsmen and entrepreneurs alike. [toldya]
