Cindy’s Profitable Photography “class” Rocks!
I love her step-by-step teaching approach because it makes every task much easier to accomplish.
The tips given by both Cindy and Janelle on how to make your gallery shot unique, especially when viewed in the new “Best Match” category eBay is implementing, is $$$$ in our pockets!
This class is a must for anyone who wants to stand above the crowd!
The free e-book, “Getting the Most out of Free Gallery Photos” is a true treasure!
Thanks, Cindy, for this awesome resource.

Thank you Cindy for such a timely review of eBay photography techniques!
With the new ‘catalogue’ format just around the corner, your tips are a great reminder of how we can create photos that are certain to stand out in a crowd!
Learning to create a text only graphic was the highlight for me - a brilliant idea and a great ‘how-to’ explanation!
Thank You -

Thank you Janelle and Cindy for this great information Podcast!
Janelle and Cindy point out the importance of having eye-catching photos and branding those photos especially now with so many sellers that are competing for business with gallery photos.
Cindy takes us through step-by-step methods of getting that stand out photo for use with eBay auctions:
Know your Camera
Move in close to get the full frame photo
Turn off the flash and use diffused lighting to stop glare
Use a tripod for sharper images
How to use black to remove glare
Watch the background and tips of how to block it very inexpensively
Demonstrates the wonderful new software we all rave about: Bling! It
How to add photos to the SYI feature in eBay, also the differences of the three types of hosting of picture services
She also demonstrates creating your placard that is becoming a hit selling tool in gallery photos
There is so much photography information in this one podcast!
Thanks again Janelle and Cindy for giving us so much to enhance our business!

What a wealth of information Cindy!! I think the most valuable tip I got was about getting to know your own camera. I have been the worst at this. I am looking forward to actually playing around with it to learn all the different features, especially since I recently got a new camera! I am also going to order that e tent.
This class will really maximize our opportunities with Gallery photo’s.
I just downloaded the ebook also.
Loved it, Cindy and Janelle!

Great tips, covering the gamut of pictures. Very informative webinar and a Keeper with a Kapital K.
I have but one remark though…
Cindy recommends imageshack. That’s great if you don’t have your own webspace. I’ve used imageshack myself and on more than one occasion I was unpleasantly surprised when imageshack was down and pictures would not load.
That’s not to say that your own webspace would never been down (although, I’ve never had that problem with my space at 1&1.com), but at least if your own space is down you have someone you can call. When imageshack is down, you just have to wait….
Even if you don’t have your own webspace, often broadband providers will give you plenty of space to save files. You can use FTP to upload those files and link to them from a browser. check with your provider to see what their offerings are in this regard.

Great stuff as always! This webinar emphasizes the importance of Gallery photos - now with Best Match, they will be just as important as what Keywords are used in your title.
I love Cindy’s approach to teaching - simple and easy to understand. I’m looking forward to trying my hand at making a Placard and playing around with Bling! It - so much to learn, but I love it!
Now to Cindy’s eBook…
Thanks again and blessings,

This webinar offers great information for newbies interested in selling on eBay. Moreover, with eBay’s imminent transition to the more graphic-oriented Best Match search system, photo quality is going to take on added significance for everyone’s eBay business. Cindy and Janelle not only cover the photography basics, they offer practical suggestions to assist sellers who want to take their business to the next level. In the great sales tradition of giving customers more than they ask for, there is even a downloadable free e-book with even more tips and tricks! If you are new to OSI Rock Stars, this is a great way to hit the ground running on your journey toward success!
