facebook won't get you enough exposure for overseas market, you need to post your work in those forums where people actually read & give comments. if they like it and price is right they will probably place order. that is how those small China indie companies doing right now by linking to their webpage. But you will need a simple paypal payment system.

then don't forget the China market, it's huge, there's a few Chinese collectible websites that indie companies promote their stuffs, but prepare for even more heavy criticism.

if you have confidence in your work and don't mind some occasional criticizing, it's a good start.

a hint would be 1/6 accessories/furnitures sells like hot cakes. you can even let users set up petitions for commission works once they gather enough buyers since you say you also do commissions.

since you guys can draw, can sculpt, can paint, can sew, can write stories, has access to China factories, you pretty much an all in one package, now all you need is more exposure to foreign market.

if you ever consider doing a Blade Runner 1/6, let me know!

Hi Advocado,

Thanks for your reply. Currently, I am promoting my works in FB mainly. I am definitly looking to expand our exposure, that's part of the reason I'm posting my works here. You mentioned bout the Chinese collectible websites, can you share some of the links ? Really appreciate your input n suggestions.

If anyone of you guys can share your suggestions, pls drop me a reply, very much appreciate it. Sometimes, I am too focus in my work that I might miss out other things.
Thank you!!

For the moment, I am pushing for limited copies, so that I am able to do all of them in house. I do all mold n cast myself, round 30 to 40 copies. This is the current limitation I have blush.gif so I guess it will do me good if I just chanel all my focus in making sure the products r as good as I have envisioned.
