I've been doing okay. It helps to target a niche market.

I really wish Shapeways offered embedding...because i think i would sell a LOT more

wow, thats crazy.
I suppose if you really really really put the work into it, you could make enough good models that would sell.
Imo, i really only have a few models worth buying, plus I dont really have a lot of outside advertising. soo...
The potential is deff there

Hi,
@ Jettuh, yeah and then next time we go to Siggraph we will see you arriving in a limo!
Another Shapie will soon share some useful tips on how to sell more. But it's not just nice models, an extensive description of your model helps a lot in making it more easy to find.
Bye!
Marleen

@Marleen, is there a helipad over there? 
i still have to make an extensive description for my models!
do you have an answer for the question about the top3 i asked?
--
Rawkstar, the way i have made quite some money selling my models:
* make something that people want,, make something they really can use,, but can't find that kind somewhere else.
= i made dutch model trains which aren't for sell in the scale i made them (1:160)
* advertise/promote on websites/forums,, where the targeted public comes around.
= i promoted/showed my models on a big dutch modeltrains forum.
* by adding new designs on you shop,, and then promoting on the same website/forum the new design,, the people will see your post again, and with a bit of luck also new people that didn't see your post will be looking in your shop
= each time i'm creating a model, i show them some pictures of the WIP,, and ask what they want to see changed (most of the times they are allready happy to see the model is being made)
let me think,, do i have some more suggestions?
yeah just 1 i think
* try expanding your market,, so not just uhh rings or trains,, but try new stuff,, the more diffrent things you sell,, the more people you attract
= haven't done it yet myself,, but i'm thinking about what sort of market i can give a boost with my designs.
one of the things i came up was model airplanes,, like 1:150 or something.
i'm not going to tell you how much i sell atm,, but it's more as $50
hope all people can use this message?
