How To Sign Up

Sign up as a designer on PosterMyWall in a few simple steps. Visit PosterMyWall and proceed to 'Create a Design'. Browse through our existing templates to get inspiration for your designs. 

Once you’ve created your design, follow these simple steps to submit your first template and becoming a designer on PosterMyWall.

1. Navigate to the 'File' option on the upper panel of your builder.
2. Click 'Submit as a Template'. 
3. Choose the option of 'Create a New Account'. 
4. Enter your details and 'Sign Up'. 

Now, let's submit your design in our template gallery. To make your template available to all PosterMyWall users, you need to:

1.  Enter all relevant details about your design template.

• Name of the template: A simple phrase that adequately describes your template. It should ideally describe the outlook, theme and design type of your template. Let’s take the example of this Concert Flyer, for instance. A suitable Name for this template would be “Blue Concert Invitation Flyer Template”.
• Relevant tags: These are keywords people type in search boxes when looking for a template. Make sure you enter the keywords that relate to your template the greatest. Tags you could include for this Concert Flyer include: “Concert Flyer, Music Flyer, Band Poster, Gig Poster”. Repeating a keyword in these tags will not help, so keep repetition in tags to a minimum.
• Category of the template: Choose the category your design falls under, from one of our pre-existing categories. If there is no exact match, select the category that is closest to your requirement. The Category for this template would be 'Concert/Band Flyers'.

2.  Enter your PayPal and Mailing Address Details.

Proceed to 'Setting up Royalty Payments' where you’ll enter your name and PayPal address. 

The next step is to enter the details of your 'Mailing Address' so we can contact you, if need be. U.S. residents are required to provide Social Security numbers for royalty payments. 

3.  After filling in all the details, click the option of 'Submit Design Template'.

Your design is now added to the PosterMyWall Templates gallery. You will now be able to see the number of times your design is customized and purchased.
