Print on Demand Forum / Stepping back into Zazzle
« on: May 08, 2011, 16:31 »
Well, I decided to take a look at it again after close to 2 years of doing nothing with my original store. Nothing better to do and the new email sign in to control multiple stores, I went ahead and named some new stores. Going to work on each store one at a time to get products up.

First one I am working on is a iPhone and iPad Skin Store. I set all stores to 19%.

I just wish I can put a header on the Zazzle store temple but no, they want me to know all this HTML Stuff just to remake the whole store. Ehhhh... not right now.

I still wished they allow you to put basic keywords and descriptions to images that auto import when you create a certain product. That's really the most annoying part to me.

Software - General / Re: How to convert from Raw

Thats basically what I do. I highlight and export from Lightroom into a Folder called "Lightroom Eports" (original huh). When I am ready I just start putting them into photoshop for the final part.

I usually do not crop in lightroom unless the crop is affect by a lr preset.

Which Canon do you use and what version of Lightroom do you have. ACR (Adobe Camera Raw) might need to be updated to support that camera.

It was a nice surprise for me... keeps me at 100% acceptance rate at least. I thought I had my first failure there.

I thought for sure this batch failed because of how long it was taking to review. Today though, I got...

I already checked the commons...none. I will give it a bit to see if anyone else has any or gets some approved. If not, move on to the next thing I guess.

I could do like others and yank a bunch off of google...lol. I am being legit though.

I am 39 and White. I dont like what Obama is doing. Not because of the color of his skin. Because of his Policies he is making.

I would vote for Colin Powell in a heartbeat. Why? Colin Powell is a leader. He knows what it means to send troops into battle. He has been there in it. He is also a person who brought himself up from nothing in Harlem to where he got in the Military.

I liked George Dubbya in the first term. In the second term it was kind of like "Screw it. I can't be elected again." Yea.. time to go the Boy George.

As with everything here. It's just my own opinion.

Now we just wait on the circular event to come back around. The new leader avenges him..then probably gets hunted and killed. Then a new leader avenges that last one..so on and so forth.

Until there are no more 'leaders' to be had because they realize that taking on that role is a death sentence.
What would you have us do, sit quietly on our hands and hope everything will just go away?

Did not say anything like that. Just stating the possibility. I would love to do a preemptive solution but of course we have to keep up appearances to the world. I had to search cars for bombs from old Binnys threats back in 90 - 92.

Bigstock.com / I'm buying - request for a few images
« on: May 01, 2011, 12:25 »
Ok, I need a few images of carved candles. Web sized basically so dont go buying these expensive things just for me  :D. If you have some already cool. I have only found 1 but it is more than I found on the other sites I was going to convert credits on. Got credits on BS and ready to do a little buying.

Maybe this can spur some BS sales for a few MSG'ers.

I don't want molded candles...I want carved like this one... Bigstock ID #55146

Reply here if you have some approved on BS.

Thanks

Ok. Thanks. Time to search some more for those dang candles. Too bad no one in my area does it.

I just use mine for social stuff. Like if I want to post on a photo forum or email links back home to my Mom and Bro.

Can you do that with DP?

Looking to buy some photos if I can find the right ones. I know I can do it at 123rf. Both site give me troubles in finding Carved Candles. I get a bunch of Halloween Pumpkins.

What do you think about Etsy?

I kind of like it. Its almost like Microstock...lol. Your a Fish in a big over-saturated ocean. You either need a very niche and wanted item or you have to know the ins and outs of marketing. Well, I am not niche so guess why I am trying to learn SEO and 'Net Marketing.

Photo Prints.. I have seen the top sellers and a few of them must be great marketers. Hardly any description and their Photos are plug-ins it seems. Kinda known as "Etsy Style". My store runs from Sewn Items to Photos and Homemade Soaps, whatever we feel like making on a certain day. Some say specialize a shop and some say it does not matter. No matter what, you have to market yourself around. Not just in Etsy but blog and get followers, Facebook Fan page, Twitter and so forth. Get all you can pointing back to your shop. This is to get Google on your side. Get your customer base and then you can ease up on marketing and go by word of mouth more. (Hint: these are tips from someone who does pretty steady business year round in a general items store on Etsy.. not me. She is a little bit of my Coach). I have a few Etsy style photos up now so we will see.

Eventually I want to do an online Gallery so learning SEO and Marketing now in preparation.

Just in case you want to see my little shop... I have a domain name forwarded for easier memory and business cards. PoseyCorner.com

Off Topic / Need a reason to watch Kids shows?
« on: April 28, 2011, 20:04 »
I have to watch Nick Jr. due to my almost 3 year old daughter. Yea, I know some of the theme songs and sing them with her.... but... today I discovered something new about the Wonder Pets. It is not just a Guinea Pig, a Turtle and a Duck... it is also Stock Photos. Now I will be trying to watch closer to see how they use them.

Now that it has been a while..What did you find out about Squidoo Madelaide?

I left it and Zazzle alone (still up and running but not adding anything to the Zazzle Store) to do its thing. I had 13 cents sitting for a long time. With only 4 lenses, no wonder it did not help the store.

Honestly I did not put enough effort into the Lenses. I am not much of a writer. I just made a new lens..first after that same long time. Now I am trying to push the Etsy store and they have an Etsy Module on Squidoo. Now I have a goal of trying to make 20 new lenses in 3 months. Should be easily doable.

This Squidoo thing comes into play with SEO and Internet Marketing which I am trying to learn. Sort of like building backlinks. Soo much to learn though but I have time...lol.

Neat. I see though a few of mine hit  mainly on two words. Majority was one word though.

Software - General / Re: Looking for a Email Program
« on: April 22, 2011, 12:15 »
So far, Thunderbird does all that I need it to do. I set up 2 more email addys in gmail. I think I can get everything to gmail except for facebook. I guess that means my personal yahoo will become my junk catcher just so I can keep the Facebook setup.

Funny... I actually have Thunderbird loaded and trying it out. One problem but it is not Thunderbirds. Yahoo Mail Classic (free) does not allow for Pop clients. Google is no problem but all the tips and programs for Yahoo do not work. Maybe I can slowly migrate things to a gmail address.

How does that work for getting stock sites to change your email registration? Is it a real pain in the buttock?

Software - General / Looking for a Email Program
« on: April 21, 2011, 18:50 »
I am looking for a Program that I can check 4 email accounts from. Screw using outlook...lol.

I asked my brother about Incredimail so waiting to hear from him.

Basically I want something that I click a box and I am reading and sending from one account. Click another Box... same thing with another account. I am tired of hopping from one account to another.. just want it centralized.

Any suggestion on some that I can go look at?

Thanks in advance.

PS.. if it has any bearing on it... between Yahoo and gmail accounts and I primarily use Firefox for my browser.
