Dear Swappers!
Many of you tuned in to our 2011 series “Marketing Mondays” on the Poppy Swap forum. It was an 8 week series on designed to help our herbalists focus on their online skills and prepare for the holiday season. Well, we have now taken that information and expanded it into a more comprehensive E-Book:
For the Herbalist in Business:
How to Successfully Sell Online
Business practices, theories and techniques that promote your livelihood, nourish your community and support your soul.
This E-Book was created for you by Kiki, the founder of Poppy Swap, and Kristie Nackord of Spirit Horse Herbals. It is the first edition of something that will be an ever~evolving guide to getting your business up and running on the internet. Our goal is to provide you the know-how AND the technology to make your creative dreams come true.
We believe, that as each individual herbalist brings their own work forward, there is a greater potential for us to unite and enhance the power of our collective vision.
Download a copy of the E-Book for free!
We invite you to please leave any comments and feedback that you feel may benefit the herbalists in our community who hope to “bring people herbs!”
Love, Kiki and Kristie

After years of activism in Vermont, Susan moved to her family's home in Fryeburg, Maine with views of her beloved White Mountains where she grew up, to dig in the Earth, learn from the healing plants and trees, and replenish her spirit. The first thing she did was put in a large, organic garden that has grown and evolved over the years into a beautiful and enchanted space, a mix of flowers, healing herbs, veggies, "weeds", rocks, crystals, and many surprises. Her land is bordered by huge white pines, large maples, and the old course of the Saco River. After years of sharing her creams, salves, and other herbal creations with family and friends, she created Gaia's Garden Herbals to offer them to the public. Everything is made in very small batches with only the best ingredients, often from her garden or wild-harvested nearby, and lots of love.
Hi Poppy Swap, & Spirit Horse
Beautiful, helpful E book . Thank you for your generosity and sharing your knowledge. I have a question I am hoping you can answer. You see, I am occasionally computer illiterate. I downloaded your book and now am not able to find the download location it was directed to. How do I access this book. This the first “E book” I’ve downloaded so highly possible I’m going about this all wrong.
Thank you for any insight you can share.

You should have a folder in your computer called “downloads”. If you are on a mac go to “Finder” and the folder will be in there. If you are on a PC, I think it will just be under “My Computer” or wherever central place you store your files. Let us know if you need more help!!
Thanks so much for posting this for free – so useful to have some ideas on how to navigate this online world…
Our pleasure! Make sure to check out some of the conversations in the forum and always let us know if we can be of help!
Thank you both Poppy Swap & Spirit Horse Herbals for sharing with all of us…I am going to download now!
