Last week I decided to start selling my designs with Society6. It is a super easy process - in short: you upload your designs, they produce, package and ship. You can make your artwork available on several items such as tote bags, pillows, hoodies, shirts, iPhone cases and skins, laptop and iPad skins etc. The files just need to be re-sized for the corresponding product - which can be a little tedious and time consuming depending on the design. Think: squeezing a horizontal print onto a teeny vertical phone. But you don't have to make other items available - it's all up to you. However, the more the better.
Like I said I just started last week so I don't have many prints available yet but I'm hoping to post several each week if I can find the time. I started by posting some artwork from a few years back that I had sold when I had my etsy shop. My store is bare bones right now, I think I have two followers - ha! I have hardly any "promote" hearts which I'm noticing are very hard to get. You basically have to figure out prime time to post - when the site is busy and people have a better shot of seeing your "new" post. I'm not ashamed to ask you all to sign up and heart the hell out of my stuff. I won't be mad if you spend five minutes doing so. It's basically the ole "needle in a hay-stack" situation - it's very hard to be found.
Here are a few prints that are up and available:
... and while I love the skeleton key print - the pillow is my favorite, I may have to order one or two (working against myself here) -
So, if you see something you like - go ahead and promote it or buy it, whichever. I want to thank my facebook friends for your support and I appreciate every shared link. It's not easy to be stumbled upon so I can use all the help you've got to give! Thanks friends!
Also, if you haven't "liked" Sheribloggins on facebook you may do so riiiiiight HERE.
This is our "office". We chose this charcoal and scarlet color scheme when we moved in and I do love it but had I known how much time I would be spending in this nook I might have picked some brighter colors. What do ya think??
Check out my freshly hung Flapperdoodle prints too!
It's official! I have added my listings and the shop is up and running! I will do my best to add fresh designs as often as possible. Please let me know if you have any ideas for custom designs - I am open to them!
I will appreciate anyone forwarding my shop info/link, posting it, emailing it, whatever you think of. It is pretty much like finding a needle in a haystack so I need all the help I can get with promoting.
I realize I am not Salvador Dali and I don't expect a miraculous following but it would be just lovely to see that a few people enjoy my work.
Thanks everyone for your support and encouragement - love love love.
