Lesson 4: Take an awesome Picture for yor design.

Lesson 4: Take an awesome Picture

To be honest, If I shop things on Amazon, if they don’t get clear of they picture, they lose me. Are you feel the same way? But you don’t want to lose any customer. Since online we can touch it, we can actually see it, your picture and description are the main keys let people jump for it to purchase them.

And here’s secret to make the great picture, don’t tell anyone (Just kidding) It’s really easy and simple.

Key one: Lighting

Nature lighting always the best, in Houston weather, I like to shoot it 8 – 10 AM in the morning on Summer outside, after that, getting too hot and too bright to shoot in outside for me, but it’s all depend on your product.

If you shoot inside the house, which is I recommend for a small product (like jewelry, vase,…) go find the brightest room in the house, right next to big window always help, and put a table or you photo shot stand beside it, so we can get all the good light.

[bctt tweet=”Awesome Picture + Happy Selling!” username=”madebymt”]

Key Two: angle

Would you believe if I make a 45 angle to take picot of my face, and I took less than 5 pounds? Don’t give me wrong, I don’t mind that 5 pound. (haha) Make you look thin is not the point here. But you want you to design present in the right angle. usually, 45 degree is pretty standard. Try couple different one so you would find what id fit for your product.

Key Three : Make a theme

When you sew a commerce on a TV of the newest car in the year, the celebrate drive inside the car in a highway, show up new sharp design, because of this cool car, all the other driver stares at it! Okay!1 there! that the car company wants, they want you get the car and make you feel the coolest person in the world, and other people are so jealous of you.

I know you not selling the car, but you can use exactly same way too, make your mug looks so artist, so people have it feel so creative and cool!

Or you make your handmade bag looks so fashionable on the model, so your customer can’t wait to have one too.

In the last, I make a small workbook you can download here, got all the tools you need to start with budget or advance. Get you awesome picture online is one of the most important keys to your business!

What's your specialty or passion about, I'm super passion of design, handmade and sewing, that's why I start selling my own design clothes online.

Lesson 1: How to Sell your handmade design online

My name is Ruby, I've been selling my design online for almost 4 years now, and I would love to show you guys all the tips I learn these couple year for help you set up your business easier.

Find out WHY?

WHY your want to sell your design?

My answer is:

1. I want to show more people of my work.

2. I want to do this for my living because I love it.

3. It feels good when someone like it.

What's yours? Make a list at least 3 and dig deeper.

Your WHY:

1. __________________

2. __________________

3.___________________

Here's comom doubt peopel having:

1. I not sure my design will sell.

2. I don't know how to set up, and tech kind of stuff.

3. I don't have money and time to invest.

Which one is your doubt? Or all three is the one you still hiding your awesome talent at home still?

First: I not sure my design will sell.

Why don't just try out then figure, I was scared when I start out too, but I just thought NOT THING I WILL LOSE TO TRY, and I super glad I did, because selling design online totally change my life.

If you decide to hide at home all the time, too not share your talent to the world. no one will find out, and someone will take your place because they step outside they comfort zone.

Second : I don't know how to set up, and tech kind of stuff.

Google it, search in youtube, have tons of FREE tutorial for helping you set up your shop, and this year internet making all the thing much easier than when I start out, so please don't make this to your excuse. What if I say I will record a video STEP BY STEP to show you how to set up your shop in an hour? Are you in??? I though you nodding your head, that's right, go sign up here, I show you on lesson 4.

Third: I don't have money and time to invest.

I want you to check out your wallet right now. if you can find 20 cents in your pocket, then you are good to go! Set one listing item is 20 cent on Etsy for 4 months if you didn't sell it. So 4 design is 80 cent, is not even a dollar! Save up some of your snack or ice cream you have tons of money to list your design.

Okay if you plan to tell me you don't have 20 cents, fine! facebook page is FREE to create, set up a fans page, invite your friend, family to join and share, you can selling your design there. By the way, Facebook + Paypal account both are FREE. Now, money shouldn't stop you.

Here's tool your will need:

1. Your super passion.

2. Computer. (Borrow from friend or use in library for free to start our.)

3. Camera (No matter is $20 dollars kind ) or smartphone.

4. Interne. (Libray or coffee shop free wifi)
