Description:

This is an International swap for Swap-Bot newbies (including me!) who are looking for a newbie friendly, yet interesting swap!

Give someone else a glimpse into your life!
However boring your days seem to you, they're always going to be interesting to another person. You will take 1 digital photograph per day for 1 week of somewhere/someone you see, what you do, where you go..etc during an average week in your life. This can be a photograph of your breakfast, the view from your bedroom window, a self portrait, where you work.. the possibilties are endless!

You will send your partner:

  • one email containing 7 photographs in total (1 for each day of the week)

  • a brief description of each photograph including the date it was taken. UPDATE!! So we all send in the same format, please rename the title of each photograph to the date it was taken, for example 'Sunday 12th June'. Then in the e-mail please write the date of the photographs and the description:
    Sunday 12th June - The view from my house! Monday 13th June - Dinner at the river etc

  • please also include a sentance (or short paragraph) introducing yourself to your partner. If you're unsure of what to write, try: Your name, What you do for a living (Student? Full time parent? Work?), Whether you had a good/bad week and why.

Photographs can be taken with digital camera/mobile phone. Colour/black and white etc is your choice

Tips

  • please fill out your profile. Likes/dislikes, hobbies etc. (take a look at others if unsure)

  • you will automatically be assigned a partner when the swap deadline is up. On this deadline you will then see your partners information by clicking on 'see the partners you send to' under 'swap member options' on the right hand side

  • please write the name of the swap and your username within the email. This helps your partner rate you correctly

  • once you have sent your pictures, please then click the link to let me know

  • please send on time. Remember that swaps like this help you build up your ratings. If for any reason you cannot send on time, please let me and your partner know.

  • when you have recieved your email from your swap partner, please rate kindly. We have to help eachother! Please add a heart if you really enjoyed your email :)

Feel free to ask any questions. Credit to tigerlilly327 and any others who have come up with similar, wonderful swaps!

HAPPY SWAPPING! :)

Hi, I am new (tonight) and I was wondering what you mean by "once you have sent your pictures, please then click the link to let me know"

LakesideRemedy 06/ 9/2010 #

oh, and how do you do those cute little bullets in your profile?

onecellinthesea 06/ 9/2010 #

@LakesideRemedy on the right hand side of the swap it says 'Swap Member Options'. When your partner has been assigned a link will appear that says 'Click here when you have sent your items' - that will then let me and your partner know that you have sent :)

To get bullet points on your profile, put a * one space and then type what you want in that bullet point. If you want your bullet points on different lines you must put two spaces AFTER what you have written, press enter, then type next bullet point info.

You would type this:

*(one space)type info here(two spaces, then enter)
*(one space)type info here(two spaces, then enter)

Etc. This will then make a bullet pointed list. Hope this helps!

What is everyone using to take photos?

I'm using digital camera as my phone has awful quality and my digicam comes everywhere with me anyway!

egalite 06/ 9/2010 #

I will use my digital camera.

milkiss 06/10/2010 #

Thanks for inviting me! xD It sound really awesome, so I joined it!

onecellinthesea 06/10/2010 #

@ milkiss you're welcome :)! Hope you enjoy it!

vyl87 06/10/2010 #

Is this only open to newbies?

onecellinthesea 06/10/2010 #

@vyl87 established swappers are quite welcome to join!

onecellinthesea 06/10/2010 #

To all, please see my update in the swap description. It should clear up any confusion :)

egalite 06/11/2010 #

Thanks for the update! It really clarifies things.

Elfslayer 06/13/2010 #

Does this week have to be average? I don't have an average week. :/

onecellinthesea 06/13/2010 #

@Elfslayer I doubt anybody's weeks are exactly the same anyway so don't worry about it atall! Just have fun with it!

onecellinthesea 06/13/2010 #

(To all newbies! : Please make sure you have a fully completed profile (not just a line or two!), this will help you join more swaps in the future as many swaps require this. Sharing a bit about yourself also a great way to make swap-bot friends and will help others send items that you would like.

Please see other profiles for inspiration and the link i posted above for more help on profile editing!)

I will be assigning swap partners after midnight EST x

xsazzlex 06/22/2010 #

My partners account has been deleted from Swap-bot... I'm all ready to send!! :-(

onecellinthesea 06/22/2010 #

@xsazzlex like I said in the PM, it'll get sorted out so don't despair :)
