Sell your files online!

• Do you take photos or video of your passengers in flight? 
• Do you have articles you have written that you would like to sell online? 
• How about drawings or "How To" videos? 
• What about power point presentations? 

 

Would you like to sell your files online? 

 

Here is how you can do it.  First you need to go to the store and purchase an Equipment Sellers Membership.  Don't forget to check the box Save Card on File at checkout so you don't have a lapse in your membership.  You can click here to get a Monthly or Yearly membership.

 

 

How to upload files and get PAID for them.

 

A couple of quick points before we get started. 

 

• First if the file size is HUGE you will have a hard time getting it to upload.  You need a real good connection for large files.  10MB no problem. 30MB, you may have to try twice because your server may time out.  60MB will be real tough unless you have a REAL FAST CONNECTION.  So please try to minimize the size of your file if at all possible.
• You will need a Screen Shot.  This is a photo that you use to represent your file.  I make mine about 800 Pixels wide. They can be a small version of your first slide in a power point or an Icon of some sort or even a photo.  Know where this is on your computer so you can upload it.
• When a purchase is made there is a transaction fee and a commission %.  Add this into your price so in the end you get the amount you want for your download.  The Transaction fee is .50 cents and the commission fee is 7.5%.  If you want to sell an item for $10 you will want to add .50 plus .75 cents for a total of 11.25.
• You must be logged in!
• Sales will be deposited in your account online. You can check your account credit at any time you are logged in.  Just click on your name at the top of the page. Then click “Client Area”  On the left side of the page you will see links, click on “Account Credit”  Here you can see the balance in your account and request a payout of funds from the system.  Your membership fees will be deducted from this account.  Any time your account is over $25 you may request a payout.  A check will be sent that very day to the address associated with your account.
• When a purchase is made the system will notify you by email that a purchase of your item has been made.
• This system will work for Photos, PDF files, Power Point and many other formats.
• Please make sure you are uploading into the proper forum for your item.  If you are selling photographs of your passengers in flight or a video of the flight please let us know so we can create a Sub-Category just for you in the proper category.

 

So how do we upload (Step by Step)

 

1. Log in.  Use your user name and password to log in.  Check the box REMEMBER so next time you won’t have to type anything.
2. Navigate to the Download Center using the Navigation bar at the top of the page.
3. Navigate to the proper section in the Download Center. 
4. Once you are in the category that best fits the item you are uploading click on the brown Upload File button on the right hand side of the page.

1. The first two steps on the UPLOAD page is your actual file and your screen shot.  Click on Click upload flies and select your file from your computer.  Then click on Upload Screenshot to upload your Icon or photo that represents your file.

1. Next we need a title for your file and a description of what is in or of the file.  The other boxes in this section are optional.  At the bottom of this section you will find a section called “File Type”  this is where you can select to be paid for the file.  If you check the "Paid Box" another box will open asking what amount you would like to charge for the file.  You do not need to use any symbols just numbers.  11.75 or 19.95 or 250 or any price you want the system to charge someone before allowing them to download the file.

1. Last but not least hit the “Add Submission” button and POOF your file is loaded.  In many cases we require a moderator to approve new files but that is usually done in minutes.

 

That’s IT!  Just a few steps and your file is now available for purchase to the whole world!

 

As we mentioned this file download program works for Photos, Files, Drawings, Jpg, Gif, PNG, PPTX, PPSX, PDF, GPX, KML, MP3. MPEG, and many more.  You can upload Photos, Movies, GPS files, Power point and more.  If for any reason the system Rejects your file let us know what type of file it is and we will program the system to accept it!.

 

Once you have done this process a couple of times it will become very easy.  Remember we are always ready to help you! 

 

You can begin to use this process immediately once you have purchased the "Equipment Sellers Membership"  So what are you waiting for?  Start selling online RIGHT NOW!
