how can somone like me, inexperanced, stupid and not all there make a site where you need to sign up and pay for servicaes like an e-card site where you make accounts and purchace a subscription?

how do I make it, set up a payment methoid and get a server for it? can one air head girl do it alone? there are a few but I'm not allowed to link or mention them.

but yeh could somone who is childish do it? like so you want to send an e-greeting but need to pay me 20 dollars a year to join and send.

is that possible with only a AFA, no web desing skills, graphic desing knowage, busness and stuff?

I need a paypal account right?

or should I stick to "you give me 60 dollars I'll draw your dog" and you give me your bank account info so I can charge you. what does it matter I'll never make it as an artist.

Running a pay-for web site is like running any kind of business. It's best to get a plan together, pull some money out of the bank, and define what your goals are, and then work forward toward them by doing research.

For web-site specific instrastructure, you should be able to easily buy hosting from a company. Some companies may even offer e-commerce software for you. If they don't, you can probably download and use one from an open-source content management system.

Or, as you said, you can do "payment up front" manually, and have people pay you through PayPal.

Personally, I think a better income model for commissions is per-commission. You charge a person whenever they want something done. If you charge a flat rate per year, you might end up doing a lot of work for low pay, because I can sit here and demand two cards a month from you and complain if they're not drawn nicely, since I've paid anyway. If you want to look for more money, you probably just need to advertise yourself more as an artist. Post samples, emphasize the fact that you're punctual with your work, that you deliver great quality, and that you're friendly, listen well, and are easy to work with. If you let enough people know, and keep catering to your customers and do good work, you should be able to get a decent number of people requesting artwork. A good place to start would probably be SuikoX, since many people here know who you are and may be considering getting something drawn.

for some reason my friend thinks I can run, make and animate a site like sugarqube's...hes a nice guy I live him loads...he means well and trys to help but he thinks to highly of me.

Its beyond my capiblities, the one who suggested dosen't know how to make a photobucket account and thinks myspace conistiures as owning a web site.

If anything I realized I shold ask the owners of that furry porn site, I don't think they are a big buisness porn site, no its a site where you need a payed membership to look at naugty drawings of animals drawn like bugs bunny, you know like a human but still a dog or racoon.

as for commissons I link to my DA gallery in my profile if no one seen it and PMed me begging for art then this site is not where to go, people here might want professional looking anime more than anything here. also on that site no one askes me for art, others get asked when they flat out tell the world "I don't do comissions"...or who don't say a word. -_-. I need to draw some disney style animals and in high quality coloring to.

thats what they want. I have a list of people "i'm up against" I can show you in an email.

thanks for the help and info. 16+ views before you reply. maybe I'm typing as If i were sluring and frothing and trying to speek? or prehaps noone had an answer

Eh, I think it's because many of us know nothing about that subject. I certainly don't. But I would say that if -you- don't know anything about the subject, don't do it. You could end up losing time, money, etc. Oh, and hi, BTW. Hope things are going well for you, kuwaizair.

(So yeah. Don't do it. My advice)
