As a matter of fact the site started a contest ............

to see who could come up with the best home page "facelift".
I think I pushed the owner over the edge this time with my
suggestion for a home page update  :-)

Yes, you receive payment via payal directly to your account..... it's smooth and easy and they are VERY consistent in paying. Also, they don't "hold back" paying you until you have X amount of sales. They pay you if you have have just one sale or however many sales you have that month.

I would suggest you click on the "info link" in my original post and ask Tim ANY questions you want..... he'll respond to you and help you.

Have a wonderful day wherever you are writing from!

Of course they ask how you found out about their site......
the same way I ask clients how they found my site when they've visited and contacted me regarding something.  Any smart business person is going to ask how you found out about their business..... that's just good business sense.

I'm pretty sure I remember that when you send the email to Tim to join he will ask you some questions and one of them is who referred you.

TO Epantha:

I can tell you from my OWN experience.........
that I started with only about 50 templates created. As soon as I started to "get it" and understood and learn which templates were most in demand and, my sales started to build VERY consistently.

Don't stop now! You've started to build a template portfolio.......
do what I did: I just committed myself to making 5 or so a day and slowly built up my gallery. The more templates I made, the easier it became and the more FUN it is to do.  And I will tell you, it is fun!

So get your creative juices flowing, Epantha!

Here's what makes this site so awesome..........
the "landing pages' they create are eaten up and loved by Google big time!
Just an example: do a google search for painter business cards.....
you'll see printbusinesscards.com on the first page at the TOP of the page!
They are VERY Google friendly and in fact this is how most of the templates are probably found by the clients. Others may scout the site for additional designs.

Have a great day today!

To help other photographers
To help other photographers who like myself, are looking for ways to get a better return per download on your stock images, I have a tip for you........

I have been a member of a website that allows you to sell your digital stock photos on business card templates and get between 5.00 and 25.00 PER use of your photo on a business card template. The cool thing is, the customer does not even GET the file.. they only get to use your photo as a background for a business card print order and the file itself is no larger than 1125 x 675. You can also just use a small portion of one of your photos to put on the business card and it can be just as effective. Remember, all you are doing is creating a background for the template (you can get the blank template from the site.

Basically, you just add your photo to a business card template and upload it as is to the site, where you simply add a text layout of your choosing just to show clients what the card looks like with text on it.

I've been a member for a while now and it's a great place to be with an active artist community as well.

BTW:  I do not work for this site, I'm just a photographer like you are, looking to stretch my download revenue.
