Create and Sell Your Own Calendar Online
Like I did!
It’s no secret that I have a serious photography addiction. With sunrises and sunsets as beautiful as they are around here it’s hard to resist. The perils of living in a target rich environment I suppose. As a result I have all these pictures. What to do?
Over the last couple of years I have been playing around with Zazzle.com. I have a little store there with some of my pictures on coffee mugs and mouse pads. I’ve sold a few and it’s pretty neat to see some of the great scenes I capture around here on a mug. My favorite is the “God Is Amazing” mug with a great shot of Pusch Peak after a storm. The other is a mug that screams Valentine’s Day gift. The, “Life is Better Shared” mug features two hummingbirds enjoying a sunrise lit breakfast together. Aw.
I’ve had a couple of friends asking when I was going to have a calendar for sale. Well today I finally went through my pictures and have published two calendars you can buy at my Zazzle store. The Oro Valley 2012 Calendar and the HummingbirdFeederCam.com 2012 Calendar. The cost is kinda high though. Almost $21! and I only make $2 of that. Calendars are half price today at Zazzle, so you might could grab one for $10.50 plus shipping. I’ve sold a couple so far today!
Still, $21 is kinda high for a calendar. I don’t care how much you like me :-) So, I was looking around for a better solution and I found it. A quick web search landed me at Lulu.com. I remember my Mom telling me about it. A site mainly dedicated to self publishing authors, but they also have a slick tool for creating calendars. Here’s what I came up with. My self published TonightsSunset.com 2012 Calendar:
Best part is I can offer it to you for $15.99 and I make almost $3. I call that a win win. Order up a couple today and tell your friends. 2012 is only a week away!
Here is the HummingbirdFeederCam.com 2012 Calendar:
November 20, 2011 Pusch Peak Sunrise Time Lapse

Not as much color in this one as we often get, but I like they way the cloud were moving and forming and unforming. 45 minutes around sunrise condensed into about a minute and 45 seconds
AMAZING Oro Valley Sunrise
Nice way to start the day. I think God really likes Arizona:
