Christmas in July 2026 - Artisan Handmade Gifts

Welcome to Christmas in July!  This is a month long promotion and will help build those all important back links to your shop.  It's a bit different from the Countdowns we have all done since we will be concentrating on only 4 items from each participant for the month.  Choose 1 Christmasy item and 3 others of any kind (or make them all Christmasy if you want).  If you don't necessarily have a "Christmas" item, choose something with Christmas colors, etc.  Be sure to choose 4 favorite items that you really, really, really want to establish a lot of back links to so they can be found more easily on Google once the holiday rush is on. 

If you want to join in, here's what to do:  

INLINKZ:  - Leave 4 items on the on InLinkz below:  at least 1 item that is Christmasy (all 4 items can be Christmasy if you want) and the other 3 items are whatever you choose.  Promote every item on at least 2 social media sites, promote the blog and leave a comment.  You can spread out the promo for the InLinkz items over a couple of days if you want.  Watch out for the new Twitter tweet limit (50 per day, supposedly, with hourly limits).

Week 1 - This will be the "Christmas" blog for the promo, featuring a Christmas item from each participant.  Everyone promotes each item on the blog on at least 2 social media sites, promote the blog and leave a comment.  Blog published:  July 8

Week 2 - Another blog featuring 1 more item from each person.  Promote every item on the blog on at least 2 social media sites, promote the blog and leave a comment.  Blog published:  July 15

Week  3 - The last blog with the last item from each.  Promote every item on the blog on at least 2 social media sites, promote the blog and leave a comment.  Blog published:  July 22

Week  4 - The last blog with the last item from each.  Promote every item on the blog on at least 2 social media sites, promote the blog and leave a comment.  Blog published:  July 29

I plan on the blogs coming out on Wednesday afternoons so they can be promoted even more widely on the Friday Twitter Tree. 

Please use #ChristmasInJuly for Twitter.  The InLinkz closes at 10:00 p.m. MDST this Sunday, July 5.
