Roundbottom Foundation Memberships Now Available
Filed Under: My Writing, Photography
The kits are ready to go. Head over to the Foundation page to learn more. They include everything I mentioned before: 8″x10″ print, selected from one of four, a letter of thanks, and a personally addressed membership card in a wax-sealed envelope. The letter includes a password to get you into the Members Only area of the site, which has behind-the-scenes tutorials, essays, recordings, and more.The cost? Only $35.
An official announcement will go on the Clockpunk site with this week’s podcast episode, but I’m making a special announcement here to my friends. Who will be member #00001?
Limited edition prints of all other images are going on sale this week as well. Prints will be 16″x20″, limited to editions of 10, and will cost $125. These prints include a free membership. So stay tuned for an announcement for how you can order those if you so desire.
The Roundbottom Foundation membership makes a great holiday gift for the steampunk family member! Buy a couple of dozen and your whole family will be set. It’s the gift that keeps on giving all year long!
Which E-Commerce Method?
Filed Under: Photography
I need some advice from those of you who have sold things online. I have a couple of different routes here and I’m not sure which one is best.
First of all– the membership kits are ready to start going out the door. They will start selling on Monday if not sooner. The only question is, which method should I use to sell them?
I have two options I’m looking at. One is that I use an Etsy account and pass people interested in buying a membership over to the Etsy website. The fees look okay. One thing I don’t understand though is that Etsy charges you by the count for the things you list. But it looks like everyone just lists a quantity of one. ANy experienced Etsy sellers that can explain to me why people do that? For the membership kit, do I just list it with a quantity of one, then, what, relist each time someone buys it? Not clear from the FAQ how that works.
The other alternative is to use Paypal Payments and create buttons on the site. You can use Paypal Payments to collect payments via Paypal or credit cards. Fees look roughly the same as Etsy. The downside here is that Etsy would possibly get me extra sales from people just browsing Etsy.
And then maybe there are options out there I’m not even aware of. So, potential buyers, fellow merchants–what’s the best way for me to do this? I’m hoping to have something set up by Sunday night, so please let me know your opinion.
