DriveThruRPG authorized my uploads today, so my builds are now online. I have the City Smithy (free), a Medieval Lighthouse, and an Old Brick Factory available. Currently working on an industrial scatter objects pack which will contain a few machines like a drill press, band saw, lathe, etc. After that pack, a druidic shrine setup, then ?. Papercuts and the kind words of so many here helped me past my fear of not being good enough to make buildings, and Papierschnitzel (Chris Nahler) encouraged me to work towards a store. Thanks to everyone here. www.drivethrurpg.com/browse/pub/20373/Golden-Lion-PapercraftEdited - Added a Facebook business page that shows the covers of the various products and links back to the OBS Publisher page. I also updated my profile and signature to reflect the changes. Edited 10/1 - Found out today that my web hosting will let me run a second instance of WordPress and point a second domain to it...I am just limited to storage space for both (and since I am nowhere near 500gb, I installed WP today. Waiting for the domain I added to go live so I can link it to the page installation. Then, goldenlionpapercraft.com will be live as well as the FB Business page. I will edit the header on new products to reflect the more formal email (goldenlionpapercraft@gmail.com on products 1-3, 4+ will be (something yet to be decided)@goldenlionpapercraft.com). ---Golden Lion Website (Not yet live): www.goldenlionpapercraft.com---DTRPG Publisher Page: www.drivethrurpg.com/browse/pub/20373/Golden-Lion-Papercraft---Facebook: www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100073348477908

Very nicely packaged, sir. I knew you could do it. Now we need to have the Publisher talk. Market yourself. Change your signature to include the location of your OBS store and your website. If you have a business Facebook page, include that, too. Make it as easy for folks to get to your products as you can. You need to get folks to recognize your logo, too

If you have a business Facebook page, include that, too. Make it as easy for folks to get to your products as you can. You need to get folks to recognize your logo, too Thank you! I took a look a title pages for for products ranging from RPG's to papercraft and learned. Keep it clean, simple, and similar layouts. Going to differentiate Fantasy from modern via the background and fonts, and if I do any Sci-Fi stuff, I will add a style for it too...make it visually easy to differentiate the genre. I tried to use my full-logo on DTRPG, but for some odd reason instead of putting a larger logo on the publisher page, it limits you to 140x200...so I had to make a smaller one for there. Since my website I have allows for 99 subdomains, I am going to make one for my products and link back to OBS. It has been a while since I looked at things here...do signatures with graphics get uploaded, or do I need to put it on google and link like we do pictures? I still have a ways to go on marketing/recognition, but I am going to definitely put in the effort while I have time enough to devote long periods of time to a project. I am enjoying making my own builds,

That's excellent news! I'm off to purchase some scenery. Thanks! I was happy to see it go live. Got a lot of details to work out, more builds to finish and post...I want to add a subdomain to my website and have it point back to my publisher page on OBS.

Well, I don't think you can put images in your signature, but then again, I hadn't tried

Just a thought, but you might want to add some preview build images beyond just the cover art on the DTRPG pages, as that's hard to make out in places on a standard browser view. That would help give a better impression of what the rest of the model looks like, and also clarify whether it's simply an outer shell, or if it has a full interior too.

I uploaded 2-3 extra pictures with each product, there was a section for it as an option on DTRPG. They showed up when creating the product, but not afterwards and I have no idea how to make them show up?

Sorry, I have no idea about the technicalities of running DTRPG product pages, but I know a number of our regular contributors, and fellow-to-you manufacturers, do, so hopefully one or other will be able to assist, if DTRPG themselves can't.

Figured it out. I had uploaded them and figured displaying sub-pictures would be automatic. It isn't. Drag and drop the ones I uploaded just under the description and potential buyers can get a closer look at the builds (on the factory, with roof off).
