Contributors, show your patterns off to the world, have some fun, share the fun and earn some cash all at the same time.

We have people working on a fully automated e-commerce site where everything will be fully automated. We also have over one thousand patterns already made though, and we wanted to share those with others who share our passion for doing cross stitching.

We also know that we are not the only ones who have great pictures and great ideas for cross stitch patterns. We hope to be the largest source of cross stitch patterns online. To that end, we will be offering anyone and everyone an opportunity to submit their own photos, create their own patterns and earn a commission each time every one of those is sold.

Benefits and Detriments for contributing cross stitch

patterns to The Cross Stitch web site.

As we said, those who get in early will earn a host of additional benefits but we also warned that there would be one detriment as well, so we want to let you know about that right away so that you can be fully aware before you make your final decision to commit your works to this site.

The Only Bad Part about joining early

At this time, we can only pay commissions

to pattern owners and creators.

While that may not seem totally bad, the system we are setting up will also pay each seller a commission so that everybody wins when anybody shops here. In other words, if you send someone to your store and they end up purchasing a pattern from another store owner, you will ultimately, still receive a commission. However, we are a very limited group of people and we do not have all of the resources readily available to create a fully automated system at this time.

One of our immediate goals in opening up the store and running it manually for the time being is to earn enough money to get the ecommerce site up and fully functional in relatively short order. As we said though, by joining early, you will be able to enjoy a host of benefits including increased commission rates for the lifetime of your membership.

Join Now and enjoy increased benefits such as:

An increased commission for the lifetime of your membership.

Our normal owner’s commission for the sale of patterns is $2.00 and there is an additional commission paid to the affiliate selling it of $1.00. Join now and your minimum commission will be the entire amount paid to both the owner and the affiliate in the future. We say your minimum commission because there will be a host of contests with benefits including increased commission structures. Your minimum commissions could be more than those who come later will earn even if they do win some of our contests, but that does not mean your commissions will not increase over time. If you win some of these contests, your commission structures could be increased as well.

Your Feedback Makes this Your Site

As we continue to build and grow, we hope that you will take an active part in giving us feedback and letting us know exactly what it is you want. By getting in early, while you may not have any more say than anybody else, your voice will be much easier to hear at this early stage of site construction. We understand that we cannot please everyone, but we certainly hope that we can get your help to make this site everything you want and then some.

Receive Free Products and Promotional Items

From time to time, as was pointed out earlier, this site will be home to many contests. It will also be the home to many prizes and unique opportunities for the members. As one of our founding members, you will be eligible to receive free items in exchange for your honest opinions and testimonials. If the product is great, you will have to tell us that but nothing more. If the product is not what you expected or not what you wanted, you will have to tell us that as well. However, even if you hate something, once you let us know we can fix it and make it just the way you want it. We cannot be what you want unless you are willing to participate. And hey, if you have to accept free gifts in order to help, we think you may just be okay with that idea.

Receive Discounted Advertising Rates

Eventually, we will be selling advertising space on this site. Those who join early will be eligible to receive discounted rates on the advertising space that is available here. While not every one of you will want or need to take advantage of this offer, it does remain as a token of our appreciation for your trust and willingness to do business with us even as we grow and expand.

If you are interested in contributing your photo, your art or any other picture that may work well as a cross stitch pattern, please visit our contributor’s terms of service and send an email to the address there so that we can get your store up, running and earning as quickly as possible.

Thanks,

The Cross Stitch Team
