Post subject:  what do i need to do? (please help me out)

ok i have decided to start a domain and start selling my work. my work as in my images and everything else i can do... i really enjoy doing this, and i am so proud of myself because i did it all so far with NO help what so ever. but i need some help now.

does anyone know how i can set it up so i can be known out side of CKD and have people buy my work. the only thing i can think of is "paypal" but yet i dont even know how that works.

i also need to know how i can get a "www." domain name. and the cheapest i can get it at.

i would be making the following, and some other crap ppl ask for.

avatars
signatures
site banners
site afflite thingymabobs
wallpapers
templates
and jes basicly everything that can go into a website.

i guess what im asking for is for someone to tell me how i can start off. i have gottem multiple compliments form ppl saying that i could deffinatly make some money off of what i do as a hobby, and since i dont have a job (stupid places never called me back) i was looking to do this for a while to make some money to play FFXI. ( i wana come back soooooo bad)

if ANYONE could help me out, on what to do, where to go, all that jazz. i would greatly appretiate it!

thankyou.

give yarr a PM, since he paid for the domain yarrthepirate.com ^^ i know its about 10-20 dollars a year to reserve the domain name, unsure of where to find a host to upload your stuff to...

yeah the people who host my site are really awesome. They may be total cocks when you run into a problem but it always gets resolved.

Like when it was running really slow. I emailed them and they emailed me back saying just stupid generic stuff like "check your config.php" when I totally knew it was something else. So I sent another email and told them to to try registering an account on my forums. 20 minutes later everthing is working perfectly normal. like 30 seconds after the forums speed back up to normal I get an email from the CSR whos like "Well I took a look at the problem and I cant seem to find it.
lol they clearly fixed it and dont want to take blame, but what ever, they fixed it and thats all I cared.

I pay like 7 bucks USD per month to host it.

To set up a paypal account you need a credit card. If you dont have one try to apply and get that taken of first. Once you have it you can set up a paypal account and maybe sell some of your work on ebay. Plenty of people would see it thats for sure. Once you make yourself a little gil (hehe) you can look up Yarr's host and set up ikesart.com or something to display some of your work. Maybe to start off you can advertise on every linkshells site that you can find, it seems you already have a few people here who would pay you for your work and time so there's your start. Good luck Ike your work is excellent.
