Great Response!!!

In town yesterday for the art class — we talked about the cards, how an artist can bring his or her art to the public quite easily and accessibly with fine-art greeting cards that are produced and marketed by the artist himself or herself. There are a variety of ways to sell greeting cards, but the very best is on a table on the street or in a mall. Be ready for a rush! My vintage cards went out the door, and I never intended to sell them. Here’s what happened: Continue reading

Oh, NOes, More About Greeting Cards!!!???

New-Pet-Tarot-Deck-created-by-E-J-Gold-completely-handmade-in-studio

Yes, more about greeting cards. Why all of a sudden, greeting cards?

1.   First of all, it’s not “all of a sudden”. I’ve been creating and selling greeting cards, artist trading cards, color wall prints and calendars for decades, starting back in 1954 when I made potato-stamp and linoleum-cut cards for my school projects and Christmas Fairs.

2.   Secondly, whaddaya mean by “more”??? I haven’t even hardly begun on the subject. Continue reading

Where is the Secret Message Hidden???

http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/NjAwWDQ2NA==/z/A1gAAMXQqC9SM3fS/$T2eC16N,!zMFIcPSeGTMBSM3fSEV-!~~60_12.JPG

My tarot greeting cards all contain secret messages as well as vibes and blessings, and as yet, nobody has come forward to say that they noticed this. How come? It’s so bloody obvious, I can’t figure out why it’s gotten past the eyesight of everyone who has seen the tarot greeting cards, which is in the hundreds at the moment, and steadily growing as we speak.

Even without a handwritten message scrawled inside the flap, there’s a message to be read, if one has the code book to decode it, and that’s the point. There is a code book — my book on the Tarot, Tarot Decoded, written more than 40 years ago, perfected over the decades, and available now in paperback by clicking HERE.

The way it works is that when you receive the card, you place it where it belongs in the book, and read the secret message below the card — simple as that!!!

Children’s Craft Village Greeting Cards — Important Update

http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/NDUwWDYwMA==/z/8swAAOxyoA1RKmf7/$(KGrHqJ,!hoFETEUPmQsBRKmf5rgjg~~60_12.JPG

Here is the definitive DEAL PACKAGE for all Children’s Craft Village Greeting Cards:

IMPORTANT NOTICE: I incorrectly posted that I would pay postage on card orders. Oops. My error; I didn’t mention it there in that blog, but this is only true of retail orders. All wholesale prices are “to the bone”, so you must calculate in that you will be paying the shipping & insurance charges. We will not pay for any wholesale shipment of anything to anyone at any time. Only in this way can we maintain fair wholesale prices.

Please do not forget that this is a nonprofit charity fundraising campaign, and that in some states and counties you need an ID from us to conduct charitable activities. Under some muni laws (municipal, or city laws) you can set up a small stand, or walk around with cards on a chest-mounted neck-strap selling box filled with card choices.

You do not need to fabricate a “story” or create a “beg rap”. You are selling greeting cards, and part of the resultant exchange — at least 50% —  comes to IDHHB, Inc., a duly registered 501(c)3 charitable California nonprofit organization.

You can earn enough from this project to help the Institute and at the same time make some side dough so you can afford to hop on a plane and book a room at a local bed & breakfast, rent a car, pay for food, give tips where needed and in general spend a thousand dollars or more to come to a $375 “long-weekend-workshop”. You have to have a plan, or you won’t be able to afford it, unless you’re a Dream-Team defense lawyer or a high-priced Beverly Hills doctor specializing in Diseases of the Very Rich — and then you won’t have either the time or the inclination to come to some dumb spiritual retreat.

You’ll be too busy making money, so you can buy your way out of death, right? Continue reading

Play the Numbers Game and Win

With greeting cards, the price-points are low, really really low — so it’s all about how many cards you can sell per day. Alone, you can’t afford it. You need a sales crew, and they have to benefit as well — everybody has to win in this game; you have to win enough to make a living from this one source of income, your sales team has to win enough to support them, with some hope of themselves becoming a distributor, and the customer has to win, in the sense that they get a good feeling from helping, and they get a premium, a greeting card, in the bargain. In a game where everyone wins, the game tends to keep going on its own momentum. The idea is not to be an end-user or a salesman, but an organizer and fund-raiser, hopefully on the scale of Girl-Scout cookies and the March of Dimes. I know there are some folks resistant to this approach to work, but it does work wonders.

See You At The Top!!!
