I have some ideas but it''s 1:15 AM here so I'll post them in the morning.

52
A little suggestion:
Maybe the site could co-operate/partner with another site that doesn't sell illustrations....like Photocase
Or co-operate/partner with site that sells only illustrations or vectors....


BTW I've been told Jamie knows how to sell and promote the stuff very good...................................................................................................


Photocase sounds good....co-partner not so much.
I know Jamie can promote. Did someone say she couldn't? She is kinda busy uploading images.

Update - photocase ranks to low....any other site?

53
You are not talking about a true ring, right? Just a reciprocal link agreement?

This is something we can discuss. I am open for both possibilities. I am not sure if one method is better than the other in terms of search engine optimization.

I don't think it is possable? Do other microstock sites allow you to post websites or emails?

I could be wrong.

54
Any ideas on this -  Is there a way to do mutual trades for advertising on other sites?


What sites could use clipartof for their clients and what sites could clipartof vistors use?

ClipartOf puts up links to the contributor's websites, and we place links to Clipartof on our sites.
Since ClipartOf has a large traffic, this will get us more exposure with the search engines = more traffic for us. The additional visitors will occasionally follow the link to clipartof, which gives them more exposure as well.

So we would just tell Jamie the link to our website, and we would place reciprocal links on our sites.

I already use my contributors link. I'm not sure about this idea, but take it up with Jamie.

The 30% tax is payable only if a contributor resides in a country without a double taxation treaty with the US. For all others - probably the majority of contributors - paying this tax can be avoided.

ClipartOf and the contributors - or at least those of them who understand the value of marketing - could form a link referral ring, which increases exposure and traffic for all participating sites without costing anything. Since e.g. my graphics are mostly very different from the existing stuff at ClipartOf I can probably attract a totally new and different customer crowd. This might be true for some of the other new contributors as well.

Maui, could you please email Jamie and explain about the tax please?

The ring idea is great. Do you know how to set it up?

I'm not sure how many others would be interested but I am. I'm not sure exactly how to get all the contacts.

I know some would not not give there true inforation as they like to hide behind their alias'

57
Jamie could setup a referral program for buyers with an affiliate service like Commission Junction: http://www.cj.com.

If I see that actual sales are coming in I will promote the site via my own website, perhaps replacing links to Shutter and Fotolia with a link to ClipartOf. But I have first to see how things develop.



They need to find out about the 30% Tax details. I've recommended this idea as well.
but they can't afford to pay the tax for their contributors and do an affiliation program as well.

Thanks for positive feed back  Maul

I have no competitions with my style.

I don't know how or what I can say or do to get through to thick headed. narrow minded people.

The thread is about finding buyers for all the contributors
I can't believe most of those repling to this tread don't think that is good for all???

59
That's right. No one gives without receiving.

 ::) I'll go through it one last time. Without Jamie's help I could not be on her site - (or any).
I have a chronic illness.

She went out of her way to help me and all I wanted to do was to help her in return. She said she needed artists, so I got them.

Yes I got referrals, that's the way the site is set up.
People don't need to give a referral if they don't want to.

I have seen no one that dose the same style as me on the site and so I have no competition from the new artists.
 
The truth and end of subject.

This thread makes no sense to me. Have a lot of posts been deleted?

What sort of help are you after Dennis?

Please read the first post on the thread

What are Jamies ideas, just so I don't duplicate?


She said forums and blogs for graphic artists and web designers. I have not had allot of luck.

THANKS!!

So glad I started this, I appreciate all the great positive advice! It gives me such a warm feeling to be appreciated.

See how you feel in a few months. 8) Once Google archived my images I started getting sales. - a week or so.

P.S You would wonder if the owners of the site where upset, why would I continue?
If you want me to stop trying to promote the site email the owners and inform them.

If anything it's the negative posts that are doing the damage if any.

I'll keep watching the post to see if hopefully someone with good feedback comes.

For the rest I'm just ignoring.

OK, If you could have the perfect computer setup what would it be (realistically)

68
I know there is a group on this forum that are .... annoyed that I opened the door for other artists to Clipartof here. I've explained my reasons elsewhere and I'm not going over it again.

(if you do want to say anything negative to me please email me and don't take it up on this thread)

I know there are also artists here that are grateful I did.

I'm now asking both groups to help me promote the site to get more visitors.
The more visitors the more sales for all.

Please do what you do well and be creative with ideas on how we can do this.

Cool. Any ideas on promoting?
