At long last, after months of preparation, CybaSumo has opened its doors!

We’d like to welcome everyone to our site and encourage all of you to take the time to shop for products, create your own storefronts, and embed your portable stores in your MySpace, Facebook, or other social networking profiles.

CybaSumo is dedicated to offering artists and other creative types (like writers and musicians) a way to sell their work to their friends and fans. The site was built from the ground up to support anyone who wants to make money selling their creative stuff online.

Since we’re still sweeping away some of the sawdust and taking down the tarps, you may notice an issue, have a suggestion, or want to see a feature. Please let us know!

And to those of you who have been following us for a while, thanks. We appreciate the support.

Welcome to CybaSumo.

Here at our (virtual) CybaSumo headquarters, we’re getting excited about tomorrow’s launch.

Come June 3, everyone’s going to have the chance to sell their videos, music, eBooks, digital art, photography, crafts and fashion on CybaSumo.com and through the CybaSumo portable store you can embed in your MySpace, Facebook and other social networking profiles, as well as your blogs and Web sites.

It’s free to sign up and you can create as many customized stores and sell as many products as you want.

We take care of all the details like catalog management, billing, transactions, and digital fulfillment (emailing links to people who buy your digital stuff so they can download it after they’ve paid you).

Get ready for the next step in selling your stuff online. Get ready to put your stuff on sale right where your friends and fans already hang out.

Get ready for CybaSumo!

If you’ve been given an invite to our stealth beta, and you’re having problems signing up, we may have the answer.

Since we’re so brand-new, some email systems like Gmail are mistaking emails from us as Spam.

We hate Spam. We hate the taste of Spam, the smell of Spam, and especially the presence of Spam in our e-mailboxes.

We promise you as part of our Terms of Service that we will never Spam you.

But, for now, our confirmation emails and password reminders may be ending up in your Spam folder.

So if you haven’t heard from us and you’ve requested a login, or a password reminder, check it out.

If that doesn’t work, please contact our Tech Support department. We’ll do everything we can to get you up and selling.

We’re getting very close to CybaSumo’s beta launch.

Like Willy Wonka and his Chocolate Factory, we’ve given away golden tickets to a select few. They’re busy behind the scenes right now, building stores, uploading songs, videos, and art, and showcasing them on Facebook.

Want to be a part of the fun? No problem - just contact us today (April 1st) and ask for an invite. For a limited time only you can see what’s behind the curtain before we throw everything open to the world.

We’re still putting the paint and polish on some things, so you may find some surprises along the way. If you do, let us know at the tech support page and we’ll get to work dotting the I’s and crossing the T’s.

If you’re too late for our limited golden ticket invite, don’t despair - the blog posts for the rest of this week will be dedicated to giving you ideas and inspiration for selling products through CybaSumo and to your social network.

Stay tuned!

We’ve been working very hard on the CybaSumo Web site and services, and we’re really looking forward to opening our doors very soon to you. The wait’s nearly over.

What is CybaSumo?

It’s a place where you can sell your MP3s, e-books, artwork, photographs, and any kind of digital work you create. But it’s more than just a place. It’s a store you take with you.

With other e-commerce sites, you have to get your friends and family to visit the store, spend money on advertising, or hope your store shows up at the top of Google searches so everyone will find out about you. Not with CybaSumo.

We give you a store in a widget - a box where customers can browse and shop - that you can put anywhere. When we launch you’ll be able to easily place your store widget on your Facebook profile without any programming or HTML. Soon you’ll also be able to place your store on your MySpace page, blog, and more.

That means that every time your friends see you on Facebook, they can browse and buy your stuff. Your profile does the advertising for you! No need to send them to another site - they come to CybaSumo.com when they’re ready to check out. And it’s free to sign up.

That’s where there’s strength in numbers. You’ll find hundreds of other artists in our CybaSumo catalog. Every time their customers come to the site to complete a purchase, they’ll be able to see what you have to offer, too.

Keep watching this space for more news about our (very soon) launch. And get ready to become a paid artist - over and over again.

CybaSumo - your portable store.

P.S. Want to sell non-digital products like crafts or collectibles? That’s coming too.
