Sales

Hey everyone! My name is Mike. I am a very new member to the marketplaces. I am currently looking to get some sales and earn some cash. I also want to learn more about design and meet some awesome people! I already have met many amazing people.

Anyways in this post I was wondering if anyone could offer me any tips on selling items? I recently uploaded an item and I am looking for free ways if possible to promote it. I already use deviant art, creattica, and many other sites. I am struggling to get alot of traffic =[ Does anyone else have other tips? Any tips are appreciated As I am looking to get my 1st sale.

Thanks! Mike
