so entrecard market is interesting
I don’t use Entrecard quite as much as I should, but it’s a good way to bring in some traffic if you take the time to make a lot of drops. I’ve also found a lot of good blogs that way, which reminds me: I need to update my blogroll.
Whatever the case, Entrecard has started a new thing called Entrecard Market, where you can list things for sale–basically anything, apparently–but get paid in Entrecard credits. That might seem like a raw deal compared to getting cash on eBay, but on the other hand, many of the listings in the market are for the sorts of items you’d never see on eBay, like blog reviews or promotion through Digg, StumbleUpon, etc.
I just made a listing for a mix CD of your choice, in part because I’ve only ever made four fanmixes and could use the motivation to actually finish some more. Listed it as 500 EC because I really didn’t know how much it was worth, heh, although I suspect I’ll lower that before long. In my defense, though, I tend to put quite a bit of work into my mixes, and since mine also tend to go long, anyone who buys it would get 15 or 20 songs (plus cover art).
And lest you think this has absolutely nothing to do with books, well, most of the mixes I’ve ever made have been fanmixes for book fandoms. If you really want a mix for a favorite book or series or pairing of yours, good music to write to, atmospheric music for a setting you’re working with–hey, maybe I can help. For, y’know, a fee.
If you’d like to know more about Entrecard in general, check out this short video. (I didn’t realize until I watched it that I was pronouncing “Entrecard” wrong, hahaha.)
