Finding the fastest way to sell online is quite a challenge for my life. I have been trying to list products that are available to me with drop-shipping through PRINTFUL (.com) - this link is connected to my first affiliate link, another effort to increase my income.
My newest efforts are POSTCARDS, but tonight I added an 18x18 inch framed poster to my ETSY shop as my November discount item. I want to add more color and other elements to my designs, but don't have that option yet. I definitely am learning the limits of text-only designs and the Printful design tools.
This is one design I made tonight. This is a postcard format. I think it can be small art (4x6) messages. I'm trying to get messages that work on mugs, too.
I was trying to make this POSTCARD design into a listing and noticed the citation text at the bottom got messed up somewhere from design to save. It has to be done over.
What I ended up for now is this logo design element for Working Together that is also a major statement on our relationship as Christians. I made it when I first started WT back in 1987. It represents the theme of what WT is trying to do... get us together as ONE Body of Christ.
This is a POSTCARD format. I focused on the major words only in the square POSTER I listed.
I may get this onto a t-shirt as a wearable statement for all to see and think about.
I guess I get upset when I see the wonderful colorful art in Christian shops on ETSY. I wonder what software they have. I am not able to print in color right now... not sure why my printer suddenly stopped printing color even though all the setting are set right and it has a new ink cartridge. One of my goals is to get a better computer system, including a better printer.
It has occurred to me since starting this learning journey that digital art is not as good as selling physical art products. I want to have some digital listings at my shop, but more individual physical items.
When I can find the best format for my creative expressions, I will not feel so futile in my efforts. Finding my "zone" is the quest.
Well, this is my first post of November. My effort to post more often is beginning to take shape. I want to share my efforts more... and to learn in the process. I'm moving into video as an online tool. Once I learn the smartphone, that will be easier. :-) So MUCH to learn.
If you have any suggestions for my selling (income) quests, let me know them.
In Christ,

This statement helps me to keep going...
