5 Ideas for Getting Fisheaters lucrative

[JoeVoxxPop]

I challange you all to list 1-5 Ideas (no more) you think would help Fisheaters to be lucrative for Vox. Im posting it here because I think this is the most visited forum.
Perceptions and thoughts are nice...but Im looking for tangible practical ideas.
Come on tank! The community needs this! How do others make money---

I was a moderator on RonaldReagan.com for a few years and we paid for our server fees almost exclusively through our gift shop.

1) A lot of people have suggested publishing the information on the main site as a book to sell.  Here are some online self-publishing options:

Amazon.com

Blurb (this one is nice if you have lots of large pictures)

2) I've donated a couple of my designs to Vox for the FE Cafepress gift shop, so once she posts them on T-shirts I will constantly remind you to support FE and buy them

We need to get fe shirts out there to folks who never heard of it but think the shirt is cool. Almost a meme

I have mentioned before- print the FE site. I think that many will buy it that don't even use the forum.

yes but it might not be that easy if any content is not original but from others compiled. But I think a classy Pamphlet on Mary using the FE site apologetic on Her would sell like hotcakes...that is if us Tank dwellers would buy a case and sell them like gs cookies, pass em around..get them into the hands of Catholic celebs (sports/ TV / apolgetics site), get them put on the litrature tables.

I never thought of that. I guess we would have to hear from Vox about that. It seems that most of her info is very old, so the copyrights would not pose a problem. But I have no idea. Pamphlets are a good idea though.

Having been a biz man I'd go with the gift shop. What is needed is someone with marketing verve and some computer skills. I'd look to Monk Rock for inspiration. It needs some standard stuff like Scapulars. It also needs some unique Fisheaters stuff which others will want and pull them here. I'm no marketeer but lets exercise our minds, what of a Fisheater bathrobe which comes in Franciscan brown with a cowl for weaing at home to play on the computer. It could be offered in the colors appropriate for other orders, too. It probably should link to Breviaries for sale and Diurnals, Missals, etc. Click and buy and FE gets a percentage. Hoodies would probably sell. Perhaps a Fisheaters  cookbook which is down loadable and needs no printing, and for a small monthly subscription you get all of the additions every month. This could go for every article in the front too. They could be sold in PDF for small money that would add up. A small  gold or silver plated dagger for letter opening something like a knife used by a monk for eating in an Abbey say 1245 would be a hot item. Latin inscripted of course.

Gift shop is a good idea, FE unique stuff is key. A start would be to publish the info on the website and sell it thru the gift shop.
