Scraptastic Blogs - Digital Blog Store Previews

Designers, do you sell from your blog or small shop? Scraptastic Blogs has been created to showcase "the little guys," those of us who are not actively selling in the larger online stores. Since advertising, promotions and even creative teams are part of online stores, those of us who sell from our own blogs or shops usually miss out on these perks. Scraptastic Blogs is the place where we can showcase and promote our products and have another online presence.

Our preview gallery features large 225x225 thumbnails and up to 1000x1000 previews with a 333Kb upload limit per photo so your products are seen! Preview gallery limits have been upgraded to 100Mb per designer, which is the equivalent of approximately 300 photos! Only designers can post in the preview gallery, and the large thumbnails, along with the descriptions and product links, create a one-stop browser showcasing numerous blogs and shops!

The layout gallery limits have also been upgraded to 100Mb. You along with your CT members can post pages using your designs in this gallery.

Your blinkie will be posted on the front page with a link to your blog or shop, and you'll also be listed alphabetically in the designer index with links there too.

And the best part...Membership is free!

To join...

1. Register in the PREVIEW gallery, then submit your username to designers@scraptasticblogs.com so your permissions can be set. You'll receive an email once this has been done. You can then set up an album under your name/blog/shop name. Don't forget to enter your website address in your profile so our readers can easily find you! In addition to inserting your product's direct link to your blog store, you may want to TITLE all your products with your blog or shop's web address. Please view the preview gallery for examples.

2. Self register in the layouts gallery. If your CT members will be submitting layouts, please have them register in the layouts gallery as well. You can either set up an album there in your name/blog/shop name and then have your members post to it, or your CT members can create their own personal albums and list you as the designer and post your blog/shop links. There are no set quotas, but please try to be an active participant in the layout gallery and post comments often. The success of the site depends on actively engaging our readers...our potential customers!

3. Forward your 50x150 blinkie to designers@scraptasticblogs.com. Your blinkie will be posted on the home page and will link directly to your blog or shop. The position of the blinkies is first-come, first-served.

4. One more step! Post our blinkie on your blog/shop and link it back to www.scraptasticblogs.com.

We will soon be featuring our designer bios on the home page, a short paragraph to introduct our readers to our designers...and another chance to get your name and designs in view. If you'd like to participate, please submit your photo (or a photo of your favorite kit) along with your bio.
