Discovering Greeting Card Universe

I always loved to write, and had often toyed with the idea of sending submissions to greeting card companies. After reading how difficult it was to break into the main companies, I decided it would be too time consuming and not worth the effort.



I found the Greeting Card Universe web site completely by accident and was instantly excited. I had already been selling some of my sister's photographs as hand-made cards at bazaars and craft booths, here was a way to sell them with no money invested whatsoever! The store was free and easy to open. Little did I know I was beginning an adventure into creativity that would truly change my life. My sister agreed to let me use her photographs for half the profits. Niether one of us expected the response we recieved.

One of her cards, a simple black and white photograph of formal dresses that we turned into a Bridesmaid card, started selling like hot cakes. I was surprised, since I initially didn't even want to use the picture. It goes to prove what I am learning more every day, don't always expect to sell what you like the best. You will often be surprised what is chosen.

I reccomend Greeting Card Universe to anyone who has drawings or photographs they want to sell. You can check out my site at www.greetingcarduniverse.com/fairygirlcards. We make at least 500.00 a quarter at this site, with absolutely no investment on our part but our time.
