Making the jump.. from Commercial Artist to product vendor.
Hi everyone 
In researching my current project, Ive found the posts on here to be extremely helpful, so thought I'd sign up and join the community.
Im a commercial artist / photoshop specialist with 15 years experience - in Feb 2011 I launched a tutorial website surrealpsd.com that focuses on creative techniques (as a uni project). For the early phase of the site I have just focused on strong, unique content - no serious promotion as of yet.
This year I will be releasing 3 Photoshop Training DVDs, and I aim to sell them through Clickbank, with additional traffic coming from my free tutorial site. I wasn't overly impressed with the Photoshop products on Clickbank marketplace, or their branding; so my aim is to release a high quality Photoshop product, and hopefully get affiliates onboard.
That's my humble dream for the year, if anyone would like to impart any advice regarding the promotion of such a product, all comments would be gratefully accepted.
