Sold one business card again! :D

[Dreamframer]

Hey guys, with only 28 business cards in my portfolio, I already have 2 sales in 2 months! I earned 10$ this way. Right now for me, printbusinesscards.com are better seller for me than half microstock sites I'm in!

[Chupacabras]

That's fantastic. I also sold two cards - both made out of (cropped) photos that were previously rejected in microstock.

And sure enough, there are a few MS sites in which I haven't reached $10 as of yet, so PBC has proved a better business!

[peep]

Yeah, I must agree. I have sold three BC so far.

This looks interesting.  It is an invite-only site, right? I think I got an invitation to contribute months ago.

I think you can join without invitation.

I just sold 3 myself. Your right, I'm making more here than in the up and coming sites.

[DiscreetDuck]

never sold anything there since november. For me, 100% waste of time for now.

[Dreamframer]

WOOO! One more sold! That means 3 sales and 15$ from 28 files in two months!! I'm gonna make more and more and more!

How that thing works? The only information I have found is for customers/byers.

For those who want to sell their photo on business cards or many other types of goodies, I would recommand Zazzle. I sell more on Zazzle than on 123 or BigStock and this month until now more than on any microstock site (but I may just be lucky this time).

But it's quite fun to create design... quite a different business than microstock.

An interesting point: you can freely choose your commission. Il you want to earn 99%, you can (but I would bet you will not sell anything for this price).

oups... wrong button.

I thought a Mac had only right buttons?

Yes, two right buttons. But I use the wrong one

Araminta, I have an account in Zazzle and created a couple of items there, but I found it very time-consuming.  It's been two years perhaps, I sold one card long ago making me 30c. Anyway, did they make it any easier to create anything there?

Yes: you can now quickly create many products (one of each category) from a single image or design based on pre-defined templates or your own templates (but I haven't used this option yet).

I do not sell a lot and it is time consuming indeed, but it is a different business compared to microstock and if you feel creative, you can do whatever you want here without any risk of being rejected by reviewers 

And this month, I've earned until now (9 days) as much as a normal full month at DT... but I suspect I'm just lucky.

I've got a gallery at Zazzle with  three hundred products, I've sold a little their. I've got one payout coming which is $25 and working on the second.

[graficallyminded]

I think I have like 70 cards online, and the most I'll make is one or two sales a month.  One month I made a $20 artwork sale, along with a card which was nice.  I honestly don't have the time to make more cards - it's not just the formatting part, but the upload process there is kind of a pain as well.  I spent enough time uploading, and the return hasn't been worthwhile enough for me to keep going (taking away time from my other micros that do make money).

Hi! I'm a new member here. I had seen this print business card site talked about on another site. When I checked it out, I couldn't figure out how to sign on as a contributor of card designs. I emailed them at support but never got a response. Someone said above that it was by invitation only. Is that true? If not, could someone give me some more specific instructions as to how to start up with them? The home page isn't really clear on that. Thanks!

Thank you SO much! I will do that. I was excited about the possibility of this site when I first heard about it.

[epantha]

Yay! Finally sold one. I'll make some more now. Only had about 30 and it seems that simpler is best.

Can you use your photos from RF sites!?

[anton9]

Congrats I might have to get in on this action lol

[epantha]

Can you use your photos from RF sites!?

Yes! Or even parts of photos that were never used.

[epantha]

It doesn't take much time at all to set up the artwork. I have a psd template that has the business card size plus the bleed built in and add new layers for new designs.
