Hi everyone. This is my first time putting together a topic for a forum. I hope I’m able to explain myself properly without too much confusion. I’m thinking of putting together an art pack. Something that I can post on here, Twitter and/or Inkbunny with a link to a downloadable ZIP which has all the pics collected in one place.
 
The pack will have roughly less than 20 images and it will be released in JUNE. I am the sole artist of this pack with canon and OC characters featured throughout.
 
I’m not sure what questions to ask myself as I put this together. It’s been easy accumulating a whole bunch of artwork and releasing it one post at a time ~ but I want this to be a downloadable collection that everyone can access with minimal red tape.
 
What download site is best for this sort of thing? I know about MegaUpload, Media…Fire? Is that one of them? DropBox is one… Um… well, this is where I need help. Any responses will be appreciated. I’ve included the first teaser for the art pack here.
 
Thank you for your time. I hope this is an appropriate place for this topic. If not, please advise. Thanks again.

As this is going to be a NSFW pack, so the conversation might include some NSFW examples or comments, may I please add “[NSFW]” to the title?
 
Also, I think this is a great forum for this discussion.

I figured as much. I need to set something up to test how it works. I’m coming up with a whole marketing campaign that should span the latter half of April, all of May and into June. As soon as i have the MegaUpload set up, its a matter of making the link public and sharing it. _ i hope that’s the process for the most part.

So as an update for this thread, I figured I would let you know that I’ve started testing Gumroad as my upload and download site of choice. Not only can I upload an art pack and put a price on it, it’s an easy download process as the “payment” has been processed. MegaUpload had too many hoops to go through when I tried to download something from there as a third party.
 
Since there is going to be a free standard version of the art pack, it is possible for me to sell the pack for free with an option for anyone to pay as much as they would like. A deluxe edition can also be created with a particular price in mind in return for a download pack that has a different set of rewards when compared to the standard version. There’s also the possibility of setting up sales so if the price is too high, I can always bring it back a couple months later with a discount which will bring viewers back to see what it’s like.
 
I’ve done some testing and found all of this to work, though Gumroad has a very specific way it wants you to do things. As far as I can tell, there’s no issue with selling NSFW art packs, though I do feel that maybe at last having a SFW cover would be ideal.
