My apologies ahead of time if this is in the wrong spot...
Hey there!
I've posted on here before, but it was under an old account, Sadly, I can't remember the user name, password, or even which email was used. So, I had to create a new one.
My name is Sarah. I own a site that was just launched, BannerCrate. I'm looking for other designers to sell banner packs through the site. My apologies in advance for the long post, but I'm a big fan of explaining things thoroughly and not wasting anyone's time.
How it Works
Banner Crate caters to the internet marketer
. We provide banner packs in several niches containing standard IAB sizes for a great price. Customers can choose to purchase a standard set, which contains only the .jpg or .gif files for that pack, or they can choose to the extended set, which contains all standard 18 banner sizes, and the corresponding PSD files.
Designers are able to log in, upload the necessary files for each new pack, then submit the pack for acceptance. During the acceptance review, there are 3 things looked at. Banner Crate strives to maintain a high quality reputation, so submitting quality banners is a must. All required files must be included in order to be accepted. Lastly, all of the files must be labeled correctly.
Designers are not required to meet any quotas, so you don’t have to worry about having deadlines for submitting banner packs. There is no limit to the number of packs you can submit. ALL WORK MUST BE ORIGINAL. Stock images are allowed, provided you purchased them. NO EXCEPTIONS to this rule. Any designer caught violating this rule will be unable to submit any more packs, and all future earnings will be forfeited. Any time a designer is suspected of breaking this rule, we will suspend the pack in question and be sure to discuss the situation with that designer prior to taking adverse action.
Banner Pack Requirements
Before uploading a new pack, please check to make sure each of the following requirements is met. The following files MUST be included with each pack submission:
· std.zip - must contain the file sizes of 728x90, 468x60, 300x250, 160x600 and 120x600.
· ext.zip - must contain 18 banners in all 18 IAB sizes, plus the corresponding PSD’s.
· thumb.jpg or thumb.gif – A 230x230 preview of the set – USE TEMPLATE PROVIDED. Must include appropriate watermark. If your pack is animated, please make this file animated.
· preview.jpg or preview.gif – A 500x500 file showing the different sizes/variations of the set - USE TEMPLATE PROVIDED. Must include appropriate watermark. If your pack is animated, please make this file animated.
· title.txt – include JUST the title of your pack, nothing else.
· Any banner with a white background must have a black 1px inside stroke (border)
· All layers in the PSD must be named and not flattened
· Animated banners must be no longer than 15 seconds.
· As a courtesy, we would like to ask you to keep file sizes to a minimum, while still maintaining quality, on your submissions.
Payment Guidelines
Designers at Banner Crate earn 60% of all sales from their packs. Once a designer is logged in to their account, they can use the system to track how many sales they’ve had since their last payment. Designers may submit a request at anytime to withdraw the amount in their account. In most cases, you will receive your funds within 48 hours. Payment is made via PayPal, unless other arrangements have previously been made.

I'm not promising anyone will get rich with this... but since banner packs can be purchased by multiple clients, it could be a good source for extra income. Static packs sell for 14.99 for the Standard, and 19.99 for the Extended. Animated sets sell for 24.99 / 29.99.
