Just made my shop about a week ago and now I am trying advertise it as much as possible. Please check it out. Products are assorted. I have inspirational quotes as well as some naughty humor. More products coming soon and I'd very much appreciate it if people keep checking back to see if anything new has been added.:cool:

To anyone who decides to purchase items from my shop I am very thankful and your purchase is appreciated:D. Just click on the link in my signature to visit my store.

Thanks.

A tip ... you will attract more buyers if you fill in the description areas for each of your sections/products.

Search for SEO on this forum for ideas.

Do you think you can point him out to me? I do not know if this is his username or what and am having a little trouble. Thanks

SEO = Search Engine Optimization. Search for the phrase and you'll begin the process of learning all the things you can do to make the major search engines love your site. :)

Ok...I will do that...Thanks...and if anyone looks and has any suggestions for descriptions please help me out. I am really bad at trying to come up with descriptions for anything. Thanks again.

Welcome to the wonderful world of POD selling Aeropaynt. It's fun and exciting and at times it can be very frustrating. One minute you're pulling your hair out and the next minute you're dancing around your computer. The learning process can seem overwhelming at times but it's worth the effort.

Descriptions are something that very few of us enjoy. Actually I don't think I've ever met another shop keeper that liked doing them. However they're a necessary part of online selling. You want the major search engines to list your stores and products and they do that by *reading* your text. They can't see the images, so all they have to go on is the text you write. (Gandalf! Where are you when this needs to be explained? - LOL)

Make your descriptions complete sentences, with good grammar and spelling, and fill them with what's called *rich text words*. Words that accurately, and with as much detail, describe your store/product.

Description Example:
Explosive Bitch! A great text design for all your Moody days, makes the guys think twice. Your choice of Red, Pink, or Black in a wide variety of T-Shirts, Shirts, Tote Bags. Great Gift Idea for family and friends, and don't forget yourself!

Some keywords/phrases might be:
Explosive Bitch, Aeropaynt, bitch, bitchy, bitches, red, black, pink, moods, moody, mood, mood swings, bad mood, female, women, girls, attitude, bad attitude, gift, gift idea,

I think at this point Gandalf would tell you to make use of every character space you possibly can. If you've got room for a couple more words, find some good ones and use them.

Descriptions and keywords can be difficult at times but they've just gotta be done. Everyone has their own way of doing this, for myself I find it easier to do the keywords and description for each design as I bring it online. You can do it, and we'll all be here cheering you on! :)

Thanks very much...this should help me a bit...Actually it helps me very much...you gave me so many keywords that I can add...I now can't believe that all of those words were pretty obvious and I didn't pick them up lol. But Again thanks...and right now I am welcoming any help seeing as I am still oh so new to this selling online business.

Can someone please help me out? I am getting really frustrated at not being able to find anything about this SEO thing...

read through this thread: http://forums.printfection.com/showthread.php?t=2530&page=2&pp=15
you find some links to free keyword search sites.
The way I do it is look for some relevant keywords for my product, and then try to build a sentence with them to make up the description.

For instance say I want a description for a dog design section. I search for relevant keywords for "dog", and get alpha dog, dog breeders, dog training, dog whisperer, dog picture, pet dog, funny dog, puppy dog (there´s more ...)

So I might write as a description for the dog breeds section:
Dog breed pictures on t-shirts not only for dog breeders! Find funny dog pictures, puppy dogs, big and small dogs - advertise the dog whisperer inside of you and show you´re the alpha dog!

The same goes for your products - it´s boring work, and I´d love to have someone in the family that enjoys that task ...

Thanks...I am looking at them now. I will ask if anything else comes up...

When I get stumped on descriptions, or my brain just plain ole peters out on me I go search the internet for what I'm trying to sell and pretend I'm the buyer looking for it. Then I read what the search engines brought up for my search terms and it really helps me out. Sometimes I even check out the sites for more ideas.

I don't copy the exact wording, but it gives me ideas and it also shows me what shows up on the first page.
