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!

The URL you’re on right now is CybaSumo.com. You may only have heard about us as CybaSumo. We’re more than that, though.

When we sat down to come up with a simple, profitable way to sell your digital goods online, we looked at what was out there on the Internet – what was working and what wasn’t.

There are hundreds of digital storefronts out there. For most of them, you’ve got to know they exist first – or a friend or an ad has to tell you about them.

That’s why we came up with CybaSumo: the portable store. You can use our tools to create your own store that fits in a Flash widget you can embed in your Facebook page, Web site, blog, and more.

That’s one half of the story.

The other half is SumoStores.com. If you go there, you’ll see a more traditional Web store divided into the categories we’re currently supporting: the Bookbarn, Digital Art, Music, Photography, Video, and Fashion.

Your customers have two ways to buy your products now. If they’re part of your social network, they’ll see your CybaSumo store widget on Facebook, blog, Web page, or other networking site. Or they can visit SumoStores.com to browse your storefront along with hundreds of others.

Afraid of competition? No need to be. The other sellers on SumoStores actually help you make money. Here’s how: Remember that when anyone buys something through a CybaSumo store, they have to check out using SumoStores.com (it’s just one click away). So if someone’s buying a photograph from another seller, they end up SumoStores anyways It’s an ideal opportunity for a buyer who’s already bought digital creative work to browse and buy your work.

Encourage your friends and social network to visit SumoStores.com as well as shop through your store widget. Increasing traffic to SumoStores means more prospects, more views for your store, and ultimately, more customers.

Happy selling!

Update!: Now it’s even easier to buy and sell original works - CybaSumo.com has now absorbed SumoStores.com and sports an even simpler navigational scheme. Your works are now more accessible to your fanbase than ever.
