sphercommerse...

FWW ~ you automatically own the copyright to anything you create.

That means you can put a little c in a circle on it.

Now if anyone wants to copy it they can, but officially they will be breaking the law if they don't have your permission. Now if they were to sell prints of your work without permission you should be able to screw them for it.

Are you worried about putting thumbnail images on the net? Cos they would only print out about 2cm square.

Have been testing sphercommerse and it rocks Also found a plugin that might allow everyone to have separate shops within the site. So you could personalise your space, just like a little market

i don't see why not. You'll be able to sell anything someone is willing to buy. As long as it's not illegal that is.

I'm a little concerned about selling fire poi to americans because of their willingness to do something dumb and then blame (and try to sue) me. i'm not sure it would even be enough to put something like

"USE THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK - IF YOU HURT YOURSELF OR ANYONE ELSE IT IS YOUR OWN FAULT - TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR OWN ACTIONS"

Sorry americans but selling to the US is a very risky business, how do american fire product companies do it???

But if spherculism gives you an easy way of selling stuff you make, would that be an incentive to make more stuff?

Must look into the legality of putting a disclaimer like...

"Do not set this on fire. If you do so you've only got yourself to blaim"

HAHA,

i've not been doing the skin deep ads recently. That's my mate joe.

I'm so bored of graphic design.

Making a wicked little flash site for wildcat at the moment tho, and learning lots of 3d graphics

I really want to get sphercommerse up and running in time for the summer.

To do that i first want to find maybe 7 people who are keen to manufacture poi related products on a regular basis. I'm confident you'll make more money selling thru sphism than anywhere else.

So anyone interested? I@m guessing we'll need poi and fire poi, meteors, sock poi? What ever else. I'm working (slowly) on some custom designs for products.

So if you wanna be part of this just get involved. Tell us what you can make, maybe take some photos and send them to me ~

I've made a theme for that osCommerse recently. Now i've done one it's easy to make one for spherc. So all we need now are the products.

I've come to realiase that if poiple are gonna learn all the stuff on site then they need some good quality toys to play with. Like nicely weighted wibbles and so on.

So lets get a bit of motivation behind sphercommerse. The aim is to create the feel of a little village market, but on a global scale. Members make stuff and sell to other members, spherculism provides an easy way for this to happen and takes a small ammount of the money.

Also, does any one know anything about running this kind of web business? Cos i know very little. Thanks,

matt

Saucy that's great news that you're up for it. Smit will be producing stuff in nottingham and there's been lots of interest in this.

What I have said to smit applys to you also. If this thing takes off and if your products are great and we get along well ( tick, tick, tick i imagine) then I can totally set you up with your own ecommerse site. Then I could act as a distributor of your products.

In the mean time we can all test the water with sphercommerse, which still needs a good name.. the best suggestion so far is the 'sphercular spin shop'

All i can say is that any efforts put into this project will be rewarded, you can get as deeply involved as you like.
