Doll Makers Dream

DISCLAIMER

money I have worked tirelessy to create the Doll Makers Dream Website. Many people have told me things such as;
"Don't give away such valuable information for free!" and
"I appreciate your hard work, but how do you pay the bills?" and even,
"People are ungrateful, don't give away something for nothing".

Well, the truth is- I'm earning money for a free website.

Ok, I'm not earning a truckload of cash right now, my site being the in beginning phases... but here's my story:

When I first started sculpting, it drove me nuts trying to find tutorials online to teach me how to make dolls. I didn't have a lot of money and it seemed like any tutorials that were helpful cost upwards of $40! I just couldn't afford that.

I empathise with beginner doll makers. I new I wanted to teach people for free but I also had to find a way to earn money.

That's when I learnt about INFOPRENEURS on the SBI Program (link is in the footer of this page). It's a concept where if you make a website with a lot of quality content, add pay-per-click ads and various affiliate programs, you can earn money without ever having to charge the visitor a dime!

This sounded perfect for my ideals- teaching people for free whilst still earning money. So that is the model that I'm basing Doll Makers Dream on.

Granted, further down the track, I will make ADVANCED sculptors tutorials available for a small fee. However, these will be targeted to artists who are ALREADY earning from their craft in the professional world. They will be targeted to people who can afford it. I never want to charge beginner sculptors money that they just don't have.

So breathe easy and know that you will learn how to make dolls without there being a hidden fee. There is none.


Affiliations

Being an affilate to certain companies is a way to earn a little money on the side without having to charge my visitors any money for my tutorials. However, there are many sites that I absolutely will never affiliate for.

I always purchase goods and services from the company (often on a regular basis) before ever considering becoming an affiliate. Why? What good would it be to me if I put all this effort into teaching you how to make dolls in the hopes of enriching your lives if I just wind up leading you to the slaughter anyway? I will not recommend ANY website unless I have personally been a customer and believe that it has some honest value to my visitors and friends. Simple as that.

On that merit, I will not respond to any spam emails that ask me to advertise their shonky products. So don't bother.

I am affiliated with the following sites:

Female Anatomy For The Artist.com
Human Anatomy For The Artist.com (the sites I purchase my reference materials from)
Dickblick.com (the site I now purchase my art supplies from)
www.sitesell.com (the site that built this website and offers the online business course I follow)

I have bought from these sites and honestly believe they offer real value to you and to me.
