FAQ Using Studio
Do the ecards I make have my name on it?
Yes. All your ecards will have their own permalink and they are all linked to your artist profile page. You get all the credit for your ecards.
Who owns the copyrights to the ecards I make?
You do. It's your artwork, you own the copyrights.
How long will it take to have my ecard listed?
It will take between 1 to 7 days for your ecard to be listed. It all depends on a couple of factors like the number of ecards sent in, and the relevancy of your ecard to the category. Remember to send in your ecard(s) 30 days in advance if you’re creating an event based ecard. Read "Getting Listed" of the Wiki for more information.
How do I keep a track of users sending my ecards?
Yes, you can! Card statistics are available for live cards. Choose 'Listed' option from 'My Cards' tab. At the bottom of your listed card you will be able to check the statistics of your card. You can also check the same from your profile page. Click on the card thumb whose stats you want to know. Once you land up in the card page check the card details info block on the right panel to view the number of times that card was sent.
You may also subscribe to your profile RSS feed which will facilitate you to check the stats without logging in to Studio. To subscribe click on the RSS icon located inside your profile page.
How can I delete my account?
Go to 'My Profile' tab, choose 'Deactivate your Account'. Fill in the required details and click on the 'Submit' button. Once your request is received, we will take care of the same and notify you once done.
How do I add images?
Once you’re signed in to your Studio account, click on ‘My Cards’ tab, then on ‘Upload a Card’. Select an interface to upload your ecard. You can choose between ‘Easy Upload’ and ‘Advanced Upload’ according to your preference. Then click on the “Browse” button for the image and look for the file in your computer. Click “Open”. Once you’ve filled in the rest of the form, click on “Submit” button.
How can I restrict access to my ecards?
You can’t. This is not possible.
Can I check the number of users sending ecards made by others?
Yes, you can! Just click on the card, you can view the details of the ecard on the right hand side panel of the card page.
How can someone who is interested in only writing ecards and doesn’t have a design to go with it be helped?
If you are writer and do not have a design for the ecard, you can simply take a photograph and add a text message to it. You don’t have to be a professional photographer; your family photos can say a lot of things too. Make sure your words blend in with the visual that you’re using so that you can make a powerful impact with your message.
You can also collaborate with graphic designers and musicians on the Studio Forums to create an ecard. Together you may come up with something brilliant! To collaborate with other artists on the Studio, log in to the Studio Forums and write a post in the ‘Collaborate’ section.
How can I use the Studio to make money?
Create ecards and publish them on blogs and social networking sites. Put your signature, logo or website/blog links in your profile page. Buyers can contact you directly from our Leaderboard, which means more money and fame for you.
