New Screensaver Service Avail from Erotic by Design

[Bec]

Hi all,

Just wanted to announce that if you own print distribution rights to exclusive content for your websites, that I can now offer to create custom screensavers for you! These are a great item to include as a free download to your members inside of a paysite, or an incentive for them to register to your forum (ie: give them download link in the confirmation email) ... or as a free promo item to give your webmasters to use on their tgp and link sites!

Free Gay Screensavers and Free Porn Screensavers are heavy hitters in the search terms on SE's ... and being able to utilize those keywords in your meta tags and page text will certainly give your free sites a nice booster shot!

The screensavers would have your Logo, and pictures would carry a watermark ... and if they click the screen while the screensaver is active it will pop them directly to whatever url you want built into the file. A nice way to keep your paysites in their face on a daily basis.

Please note: I can NOT legally create any screensaver with images that you do not own PRINT rights to ...so please don't ask me to create one using sponsor content provided images or images bought from a content provider that you are only licensed to use on your domain(s).

Price is determined by the number of images. You can email me at sales at erotic by design dot com or PM me thru the GWW board.

Nice Bec :thumbsup:

I know i wrote about using screensavers and wallpapers as a marketing tool a year or so back and a lot of people were interested in how to go about creating them.

Hopefully this new venture will do well for you

As a side note, if anyone does need content with print licenses, we sell such content at Rainbowcontent.com

I absolutely had that article in mind when checking out programs to generate these, Lee. Thanks for the sticky! You rock!

And with print rights included in the content from rainbowcontent.com for same price as domain rights ... WOW!! Print rights are usually on an individual picture and for a lot more bucks! Definately something I'll let my customers know about!

Creative Marketing - Screensavers

[DigitalJay]

Awesome idea Bec! I was thinking you could get or create a story to go along with particular photosets, and create gay story slideshow screensavers. That would be double-hot.

oh I want one!! What an awesome idea! :groovy:

I agree, and having the ability to create screensavers that portray images and a story as it unfolds, would potentially be a great seller good luck to you

[Bec]

Have no idea how to do a screensaver with stories - any movement of course immediately restores the user to their desktop. I'd find that particularly annoying to have to wade thru a lot of screen images again before "where I left off" came around again!

Someone mentioned stories so my ears pricked up!
I agree that stories with images as a screensaver may not be so much fun - (doesn't the screen saver come on after you've left the PC?) but some kind of automated slide show - images with text, voice over etc. - would be entertaining. I've written some 'illustrated' stories for webmasters, where the text accompanies the image after the thumbnail has been clicked, but it would be better for members to be 'hands free' while reading/watching.
Can the screensaver software be modified to provide a story/image slideshow, a but like a video but with more imagination avaiable?
And, of course, if anyone needs the texts written....

I wouldn't even bother trying to adapt a screensaver for this purpose to be honest ... there are several excellent gallery programs out there that have a slideshow feature where the speed can be regulated or just merely click thru like you would for a normal photo gallery.

If you wanted to try to develop one yourself, you might take a look at www.jalbum.net - an open source directory for an awesome gallery generator that has a tremendous support forum, online manual, tutorials and tons of free templates designed to work with it. It supports sub directories, has smart upload, supports 22 plus languages, can link to the full size image or the reduced slide image, creates all the thumbs and index pages and tons of other features. Most all of the skins have a slideshow feature. You can even make your own skins - full tutorials on how to make them are there as well.

And a note to you fellas and gals needing a nice free gallery generator for midsized paysite interiors or fast AVS gallery layouts - I'd give this a very thorough look see. The "Exhibit Plus" by Mark totally rocks - even has a feature that pops a "new" anim.gif next to newly uploaded galleries. (it's included/bundled with the jalbum download)

Some tinkering with the css file and you can easily customize the look to your current site. Just turn off some of the features like the picture ordering, etc. before you generate your album(s).
