Selling screensavers and other celebrities stuff - how to do it?

Hi guys
I'm going to start soon a celebrities web site and I was wondering if it was a good idea to sell - by myself, not as an affiliate - celebs stuff like screensavers, wallpapers, and maybe (in the future) also "solid" things like posters, framed pictures etc.

My questions to this wonderful forum are:
- is it worth it (I'm talking now about "virtual" stuff, screensavers and things that the user can download) ?
- where can I get (legally) these kind of things? Do I need to buy pictures (where?!?) and hire somebody who creates wallpapers and screensavers for me?

Thank you all guys!

 

Before jumping on the latest trend, it's important to do your research. Infomercials and celebrities correlation would be a good start.

 

Uhm... Can you explain a bit better what you mean?

 

Read the following blog http://blog.washingtonpost.com/celebritology/2006/06/the_alist.html and create a blog like that. Remember to add XML feeds on your blog. After all, you can start all other things, wallpapers, screensavers, etc.

PM me, if you need further help.

 

What kind of budget do you have?

 

We want to spend about 200$ a month for buying and promoting celebrities "stuff" to sell throu our site

 

Well, you can make a good use of $200.
If you need some quality wallpapers, you can contact me. I can even make SS for you. Or you can just wait for few weeks for my upcoming website and then yu can download them and creat SS yourself
I dont creat wallpapers. I just happen to have a quality collection on my HD.

 

One of the problems, thou, is copyrighted material: where did you get all the wallpapers you are showing? You don't intend to sell any stuff you have?
If I decide to sell some content, I will need to make sure it's all legal...

 

Well, All my wallpaper collection is from websites that displays
"Wallpapers are believe to be in Public Domain" So i dont know if there will b any copyright problem. You have to confirm it yourself. And also wallpapers got through some friends.
Can’t give the URL's coz i have been collecting wallpapers for almost 6 years by now. So obviously I don’t remember.

Well, as they don’t "belong" to me so i am not "selling" them.

If you want a SS from me, I can always give you a free SS that will have a link to my site. Or we can think of "some other" way around. I can even host them for u
PM me if you are interested. (I m available on YIM)
