Selling your designs

A: First, sign up for a free SKREENED account. Fill out some basic contact information, and you can get started creating your very own SKREENED shop in which to sell your designs.

A: With your shop, you get your own unique web address that you pick (e.g. http://skreened.com/yourStore). You can set your own commissions and start making money as soon as people order your designs.

A: Yes. Several folks make their sole income on SKREENED. They also put quite a bit of time and energy into creating new designs and promoting their shop on blogs and such. They generally do quite well. Some people just use SKREENED for fun or to make things available for their friends or other groups. It's all what you make of it.

A: Of course! Your success is our success. Feel free to tell us about it if you do - we love it when people blog about their shops.

A: Yes! You can have funny t-shirt designs in one store, and another store dedicated to politics. They will each have their own unique URL, and can have a different design and title that fits the look and feel you want. You can further organize each store by putting your designs into categories.

A: You can organize your designs in your SKREENED store by setting up categories. Your visitors can browse everything, or just designs in the category you have set up. Designs and stores don't have to have a category, but some people find it useful. In addition to organizing designs by category, you can use tags to help everyone find your designs when they search for a certain topic. Each of these categories also has their own RSS feeds.

A: Tags are words or short phrases, separated by commas, which describe the content of your design. This is how we power our search on SKREENED. It's also how the rest of the web finds your work! Be sure to title, describe and tag every design with relevant and descriptive words.
