The relaunched site provides digital content sellers with more control over their products.
Smith Micro Software is the developer of a wide range of cross platform graphics applications, including Anime Studio, Manga Studio, Pixelmator, GroBoto, ArtRage, Amapi Pro and Poser Pro. It recently relaunched its Content Paradise site, which serves as a marketplace for hobbyists, artists and graphics professionals to buy and sell digital content. The site currently offers a collection of more than 5,000 products, as well as software and plugins for those working in animation and illustration. The catalog offers 2D and 3D digital content, such as human characters, anatomy, clothing, creatures, furniture, cars, trees, scenes and accessories that work with popular applications, including Adobe Photoshop, Anime Studio, Manga Studio, Poser and 3D Studio Max.
According to Lin Petrucci, Senior Director of eCommerce for Smith Micro Software, "You don't have to be a professional designer to be successful here. We are finding legions of people who have creative content, and Content Paradise gives them the opportunity to monetize their work again and again." The new site has an accelerated sign-up process for members and provides sellers direct control over setting up their products, selecting promotion levels, coordinating sales and creating banner ads. As part of the product management tools, digital sellers have immediate access to their sales data in a dashboard summary, and can export sales reports to better manage their own businesses.
