So if youve noticed, the sales and whatnot journal is up. I think my piece I wanted to say about it is sufficiently in there. Itll stay in there for a while, as well as the example stuff til I think everyones either read it or its been established long enough for everyone to get used to it. If you have something to say, go read what I wrote in that journal, not just act like you read it, and
then comment if you want. If you leave a comment which I feel was addressed in that journal, Ill refer you plainly to read it without further discussion.
As I stated previously, this club is here to help you with exposure, get your name out there, to try and teach you things and let you know about stuff you might not have been aware of that was here online, etc. But again, this is not a babysitting service. I do put a lot of work into running this so of course I do get fed up with trying to please everyone and it not working quite that way now and then. Though I greatly enjoying doing it so the rewards outweigh the annoyances, but look people, Im not your mother. Some of you I know that this doesnt even apply, but others, please keep in mind:
This club is here to augment what you should already be doing for yourself. Its a leg-up. Its a resource. Its a ground where buyers and sellers can come together. And yes, I feel its worth reminding everyone of that fact.
I will say it plainly because there are those who indeed whine about not getting commissioned. This is an old statement which also needs to be repeated, I think. Weve had 2 or 3 people leave a couple months ago. Frankly, if you want out, thats fine. Ill gladly remove your stuff without a fuss. I wont cry any tears over it and my feelings certainly wont be hurt if you leave. Less work for me. If you dont like the way things go or youre not getting the results you want, go elsewhere

I cant be the cheerleader for everyone 24/7. I make no results-promises or guarantees about joining up. You alone are in charge of creating a demand for your product. Its the law of economics. If there isnt a demand, create one. If there is a demand for something, fill it. Thats how businesses work. In this age of entitlement, everyone thinks things should come easily. I know there are some of you in the club who expect commissions to roll in once youve filled out a template and its part of our gallery. Please dont be so naïve. I think its wonderful that youve got such high hopes but I will not take responsibility for those dreams not coming true and the disillusionment that follows. No one is responsible for your success but yourself. This might seem like a lot of negativity on my end, but I call it reality and I think we could all use a check.
To make people stand out, Ive created the journals with links to your profiles and the fun crap you do listed there. We have language services, custom fun currency designs, button-makers, fine-artists. Keep telling me stuff to put. I give the tools but not many of you use them :/ And I certainly wont force you to make things better for yourself. But there are resources here, links, etc. I try to include things I think would help people who dont know jack about commissioning or would like to get into it. We create new articles, journals, etc. all for your benefit and for easier user-interface. Maybe Ive been dedicated to making things
too easy for everyone. If youre thinking, WTF are you talking about? This crap isnt exactly easy to use. Look at this mess. Well, if you can remember how the club started, how things used to be, all the crap that
didnt exist before, then youll know we have far greater organization than before. Weve come a very long way in a year. We have nearly 400 member profiles. And I know several of you want better exposure for yourself because we have so many. Well, you come up with something that will work fairly for everyone, that is manageable by me to do, and is totally within our realm of doing, Ill do it in a heartbeat.
Remember boys and girls, I dont get paid to do any of this.
Oh great, now shes bitching about running the club. I run this club which has exploded with people. There are a lot of you to keep track of, and a lot of people to try and keep happy and therefore, a lot of toes that could potentially get stepped on. Please bear with me as things change. I certainly hope youre not filled with ideas that everything should run perfect and be perfect right off the bat with new stuff. Were STILL changing, people. Things will adapt to necessity.

Honestly, if I could get paid to do this stuff, Id jump even further in. There are loads of things Id like to do. Id love to help people individually set up shops, walk them through properly laying out their pages for maximum exposure, and utilize all the hidden tricks that can amount to a larger difference in the sense of the interwebs. Sadly, there are not enough hours in the day and I cannot do that, even if its fun. You wanna pay me for my time, sure, Ill set you up. But I cant spread myself too thin over everything. Sorry people. Im adopting a no-nonsense attitude about this. Pull your own weight when you can, and anything I have control over, come to me and Ill try and help.
Im still setting up the FAQ. It would help me, for newer members, if some of you could leave comments as to some things youve learned along the way that you didnt understand when you first joined the club, and had wished there as a quick answer for yourself. Even tiny things. If your comment is about something that now exists that might not have previously, then you dont need to list it

Ive been doing this for a year (actually one year today I took over the club) so I cannot, as an insider, be fully prepared and write out all the little things that might escape me. Ive been in the club since it was started. There are less than a handful of you who have been skulking about this club longer than myself. Id like some fresh insights. And nothing smarmy. If youre feeling in a smarmy mood, close this deviant art page, and come back later. I dont currently have the patience for it.
Ill be updating this thing again soon. I felt this journal was necessary. I know there are mixed sentiments about the new Sales journal. This is pre-emptive damage control. Im honestly a nice person, but I have a very strong personality and I feel certain things need to be said. Things aren't perfect when they're instituted. Give it time to evolve into the animal it needs to by dictate of necessity. Thanks.
