Hello Folks.

 

Thought it might be an idea to put some feelers out, been creating mesh items / clothing for some years as a hobby, which has grown steadily over time. It's been a long learning process and i've only a small selection of new work in my portfolio to show, but i'm confident that the items i have made are of a high quality.


My feeling is that it might be time to seriously consider making contacts at this point, I'm confident of the quality of my workmanship, but have no real contacts as far as shows, bloggers and other ways of making my stuff known to the SL universe. I work full time RL, but have been pretty dedicated in my available time to progress my skills, mainly zbursh/blender/photoshop/topogun. My rigged meshes so far have been optimised to have very low draw weight or land impact yet are nicely textured and well made.

 

Can anyone provide useful links or information that would help me make in-roads into promoting/selling my work? Obviously the marketplace is fine a starting point, but any bloggers - shows/events would be fantastic and really appreciated..

 

Bongo.

If what you make has any thing to do with your last name, I was trying to see what you are selling in the market place but it looks like the marketplace is downso cant tell.

For inworld marketing you can join the Victorian Shopkeepers Association group. 

there's the steam hunt I think it's just in march now use to be twice a year march it the biggest steampunk hunt, it's a good way to get an inworld shop noticed.

There use to be a steampunk flea market at Kafe Kruemelkram if you go there and message the owner he should be able to tell you if/when it is,  some of my best sales days were at this event.

sadly the biggest steampunk blogs stopped at the end of 2013

Thanks for that, and swift! ... I'm completely flexible on creation of things and styles, wouldn't want to be thought of as being mainly steampunk but I certainly appreciate your feedback... [smiles]

 

Bongo.
