eSnips Forums

I ve some digital creations created on computer itself which could be printed (8.5 x 11) and use as wallpiece.

1] How can I sell it on esnips ?
2] what are the requirements for it.
3] How they are shipped after being purchased?
4] Does Esnips have some share during the transaction ? If yes, How much

Pls. Help

well to answer a lot of your questions esnips has a guide

and to expand a little, getting paid for a product is one thing, and is reasonably easy with PayPal (Yay), but the actual process of making (ie printing) and preparing for shipping is a little more difficult.

It's a good idea to print on good paper & with a good printer, and advertise it as such, and in my opinion nothing you sell should be printed on an all-in-one printer (they are so jammed with features, but all the features are mediocre at best) so research weather you want to get a printer to do this or go to a printing place to have them do it for you.

Next comes packaging - this is reasonably simple, go out and get packaging what you should get is a plastic wrap of some kind & a solid card backing (so that the artwork doesn't get bent during shipping) and of course, an envelope.

last but not least, you have to market what you are selling (on this note i have some prints for sale) what i mean is with out people actually looking at your work its not gonna get sold. A good idea that seems to work for people is to use eBay for selling & marketing, have a link from your listing on eBay to your folder saying you have more things available to purchase.

and my last hint, Always be curdious and helpful to customers & potential customers

hope this helps!

Shure, its all good... making money this way is hard, even harder when youre compeating with people doing this full time. Never the less, it's posible to sell online!

and if theres anything else, id love to help

the main thing is too look like youre serious & know what ur doing, and actualy getting ppl so see your stuff, i cant stress this enough, to sell you need to market.

You of course also have the option of selling art through POD sellers. DeviantArt gives free print accounts. You could certainly submit a few images through there and advertise in your signature. And there's all sorts of other print on demand places... (shrugs) Lulu.com if you want to make a book out of it, for one.

calthyechild - the only problem with such services is that you have no control over the printing, and a lot of the time, they butcher your work. That being said, you get a lot of replies saying your work isn't up to par, when it is, its the printing job thats lacking. If prints are to look as you have intended them to, you, the artist, has to be involved in making them, its part of the process.

not saying you shouldn't use those services just be aware of their week spots!
