Sell This Card Feature
Jun 14th, 2011, 9:54am
 
So...I'd like to start featuring other artists' cards on my blog and since GCU has a LARGE selection of cards I wanted to open the floor to suggestions by my fellow artists.
 
What are your best selling cards? What cards are you really proud of?
 
Post what you think is really sell-able and/or innovative and hopefully you'll get some referral sales soon...
 
 
 
http://www.greetingcarduniverse.com/-Anniversary+Dolphin+Sunset-greeting+card-66 9124?pid=669124&aid=136464&ref=cb_card_title
 
Not one of my best sellers (3) but I like it a lot...
 
Now if you're not familiar with the 'Sell Card' feature - when you follow the above link - look below the card - click on the 'Sell This Card' link - you will get a set of codes to plug into your blog or web page. Supposedly if someone buys the card via that link you will get a referral commission. I've never gotten a referral sale so hopefully it will work!
 
It should look like this when done: http://littlerainbowcomics.blogspot.com/2009/05/why-is-it-such-secret.html
 
Apologies if this has been tried already but I didn't see anything like this...
 
PS - my blog has over 3000 fans on FB so potentiallly a lot of people will see your card(s)

Thanks, Robert!  I've been trying to feature others' cards in my blog posts too.  
 
This is one of my newest cards - I just received my sample in the mail and it is stunning in person (if I do say so myself) - it is one of my favorites now!

(I'll leave it to you to snag the "sell this card" code, so you'll get the referral credit)

Hi Robert! Great to hear you're up for including other artists' cards in your blog. (If you'd like to participate in one of our blog carnivals over at the GCU Community blog, we'd welcome you with open arms  Cheesy) We also have a blog roll you can join if you haven't already.
 
This is one of our bestselling birthday cards - not surprising, since humor is always a hit.

Hey - thanks Corrie! Never taken part in the 'Carnival' but it sounds fun...I'll have to pay more attention to those postings  Grin  
 
New web comic will be  up by Friday...now I need beach themes!
 
Thank you both (and I got a private message from Doreen) for your suggestions...hopefullly others will follow suit.
 
I wanted Little Rainbow Comics to be a vehicle for other artists to share their work so it's all good!

Thanks for offering to showcase fellow artists cards. I think it’s great for people in the community to help promote each other (and you have one heck of a following : )
 
Recently I’d shared some cards on my blog from artists that I’d liked, and it turns out one of them was yours, randomly:
 
http://www.greetingcarduniverse.com/-Death+at+a+Party-greeting+card-416804?pid=4 16804&aid=136464&ref=cb_card_title
 
I’d stumbled upon it after uploading a Death/Birthday humor card of my own and was very amused. Here is my birthday card if you want to check it out:

Thanks for buying the Death at a Party card - believe it or not - my very first sale of that card - I was like 'Finally!' and I did notice it was a 10 card order from another GCU artist - so THANKS!
 
 Grin
 
Thanks for the posting the link to your card - cute art style - 'Death' actually looks sweet...no easy task.

I can’t believe that was your first sale on it -  I got it matte, and it printed gorgeous, by the way Smiley

Robert, I went ahead and added Little Rainbow Comics to the community blog roll. If you want to participate in our current blog carnival, it closes on June 18. However, if you don't have time to get in, don't despair... I will be announcing a new challenge and contest very shortly.

Wow - thanks Corrie! It is good to be included.
 
So I've composed my little blog on my So Cal beach life - and have been favorite-ing cards left and right to be used as potential 'featured' cards - not just for this week but later on...
 
The new LRC Comic is ready - I post those on Fridays so I should make the carnival deadline...
 
For my fellow card makers - please let us know what you'd like featured...thanks!
