Back to the topic...... enough motorcycles and babes :biggrin: A warning with the girls would have been nice, I thought the link would show me cool machines, but instead there something very distracting in those photographs as well, which made the machines go unnoticed.
Quote - This is an intresting thread and I wonder how Renderosity would feel about posting sales figures for everyone to see? Yes, there are some people who make thousands of dollars a month, but there are also hundreds (or thousands) of merchants who barely make any money. Basically, your chance of making a lot of money is roughly the same as a high school kid becoming a professional athlete: sure, there are plenty of people who do it, but it takes a lot of talent, practice, and hard work.
Even if Rendo would want to do so, the biggest hurdle would be the vendors. Some would be very unhappy and I'm sure most wouldn't want Rendo to this...... there are quite a few who like to keep up their appearance.
Indeed there are some of us who make a lot, but most make hardly anything and some in between, but that shouldn't keep anyone from trying. You just need to either have some exceptional, unique, or something that others aren't willing to try/do. We sure don't need another hundred pieces of clothing as the biker ladies are wearing, the stores are full of them.
One thing I've noticed lately at some of the stores though...... sales are down. How to know? The sex sells strategy is in place again. Lot's of promo's with ladies wearing next to nothing, while the whole product isn't about skin or the clothing at all. Some of the stores are screaming for attention and their products will not catch you eyes for sure, so other methods are used to get your attention. Some of the stores look more like erotic magazines these days then content stores. Some of the promo images are even absurd and the ladies are so out of place or so wearing the wrong clothes, if you can even call it clothes, for the scene or product being promoted.
So, that's another strategy as well..... if you've got a product that isn't (worth) selling, try using the good old sex sell marketing strategy.

Due to the childish TOS changes, I'm not allowed to link to my other products outside of Rendo anymore :(
Food for thought.....
