Mini Blahs is here to help you, the little guy, sell your much-treasured personal creations over the internet. You won't need a website of your own (although it can help!) and you can sign up with Mini Blahs quickly and painlessly.
So how does it work? Well, after you have created your latest and greatest album, podcast, ebook or independent film, you'll need somewhere to promote it. That's where Mini Blahs comes in. You simply sign up, upload your work, and add it to your shelf. After that, the world's your oyster!
Once you've signed up with Mini Blahs, you'll have your very own personal shelf in our shop. You can add products to your shelf to sell, take items off of your shelf again to stop selling them, give away promotional content and freebies to advertise yourself, and manage your personal details and accounts from within Mini Blahs.
So how can people buy your work? There are two ways that hungry customers can snap up your goodies; here's the first: When you put an item on your shelf, it appears in two places. The first is in your shop front, where potential customers can see it along with all of the other items you're selling. The second place is in the general marketplace, where all of your items, along with everyone else's are on display. People can browse through the items for sale, much like a catalogue, or they can search for specific items that they want.
The second method of selling your priceless works of art is by advertising your stuff on your own website. When you sign up with Mini Blahs, not only do you get to place your products on your shelf, to appear in your shop front and the marketplace, but you will get access to a lovely assortment of fancy banners and adverts, that you can place on your own website. When someone merrily clicks on the banner on your website, they get taken straight to Mini Blahs, where they can buy the item immediately.
...we hear you cry. Well, as anyone who's ever dreamt of becoming rich and famous (but not quite made it) will tell you, it's hard work finding someone to represent your cutting edge band, unique authoring style, or movie-directing abilities. So when nobody, not even the A-Team themselves, can help, who will help you get your work out there? Mini Blahs.
We cut out the middleman, so there's no need to find a manager/agent/rep who can find the time to support you. Mini Blahs will be here, advertising and selling your work, all the time, at a fraction of the cost of a traditional "middleman".
Naturally, like all good services for the people of the world, there is a small, incy-wincy price for having life-long satisfaction.* Membership costs $20 per year for the basic membership, and $50 per year for super-duper membership.
You can sell your items at whatever price you like, and Mini Blahs takes just 7% of the total selling price for any sale. That leaves you with 93 whole percent burning a hole in your wallet! Considering the (constantly growing) fees charged by certain other popular auction and trade websites, that's got to be good!
So why not register your username now, and save it, ready for the launch of the official site. With the thunderous rampage we're expecting come launch day, you wouldn't want someone else to have your special username, would you...?
* Disclaimer: Mini Blahs in no way guarantees life satisfaction. It is merely a potential outlook on life made slightly more plausible by using the service.
