6) Anounce the most awesome thing ever! I got a newsletter from the www.zibbet.com because I sell on their as well as etsy.

This company already intergrated with ebay, paypal, and few other sites. Seriously, folks I could use a test sale to see about bugs and such. I want to try this so bad!!! Alas, its only through zibbet.
