Most of you that are regualar posters on this forum are established charms and have many updates on your site, but I know it has to be hard getting members when just starting out? I know Im not the only one but I would think twice about joining a new girls site with only just a few photo sets and then she might only update once every couple of weeks or so. Im not being critical of them but I kinda feel like your not getting your moneys worth with someone new. So Im sure it takes a lot time and work getting established and getting new members. Seems like a lot of the new girls are figuring that out...so many start a site and then maybe add a set or two then nothing!! So Kudos to all of you charms that update regularly and strive to make your site the best it can be!!!
I think a charm's first reason for doing SC should be because she enjoys it and it gives HER a thrill to do it.
Making money shouldn't be the reason. For those that don't stick around longer than the 3,4,5 etc first few updates, I imagine it's because they thought they'd get rich and when that failed to happen, they just dumped their site.
For those of us who DO stick around, I think it shows that we have a sincere enjoyment of not only posting our pics on the web, but of "meeting" guys who oggle our updates, whether it be email, forums or chat "meeting"
Well said Serena. I think alot of New Charms have the false impression that once they go LIve on the Internet & have worldwide exposure that the money just pours in...so NOT true.
When my site first went live, sales were ok & honestly I expected better myself, but this is not something I expected to make a living off of. I do it because I have fun & like to share it & knowing there are people out there looking is a HUGE turn on as well!
And Mickey, I think that is a big reason why so many new come & go so quickly...they expect to do better or they don't get the feedback they want, or...they my simply change their mind & decide it wasn't something they wanted to do afterall. Those are just a few off the top of my head.
So I totally understand why some people wait on joining Charms sites...they are waiting to see if that person is going to stick it out, or leave.
And if it's any consolation...I'm stayin
