Looking For Tips To Increase Sales?

Oh my goodness THANK YOU! I swear, it seems like every single day someone posts a new thread asking "how do I increase my sales?"

This thread is a perfect solution!!!

Thank Sv. Brilliant idea and I have asked Sean to link to it under Post New whatsit

I predict that no one will see this post. Even if it was bright yellow, and blinking and with dancing monkey's around it.

For anyone new that is seeing this thread, look at your work:

do you only have 2 things? Upload more things.
Is it covered in watermarks? Don't do that.
Would you buy or hang your own work in a nice frame? No? It may not sell. Or at least be hard to advertise.
Is the work yours? Great!
Or was it lifted from the net at random? Erase it, it will only get you into trouble down the line. And without a consistent set of styles you won't be recognized down the line.

Selling art isn't a side gig or hustle, it takes a lot of work and effort to do this.

Thank you so much, Abbie!

I can't wait to dive into all of the information you've shared.
I appreciate all the work you've done putting this together.

This may give me some ideas for marketing my fiction, too.

Cheers!

So glad to help. Tambra!

Very helpful post ..
Thank you so much, Abbie!

You're very welcome

My checklist is listed twice. Thank you!! But the most recent version is called "Checklist For Success In Print Sales (version 3)". As the site changes and in order to fit with best practices based on what is said by members and moderators, I last updated it 3 years ago. Not a lot has changed since then. I will eventually do an update and include a link to how to set up the AW using Cloudflare and also mention about the default image order, once that is settled.

Thank you for putting this list together. A lot to read, but I intend to work through it. There is so much great artwork on FAA that it is daunting to even consider marketing one's own work.

Thanks Abbie...very informative.

Thank you!

Thank YOU Abbie & FAA Fellows...
I want to believe that I know how to market since that's my B.S. Undergrad degree... BS is right, IDK anything in this 21st C economy... So I am going super slow, but this is exactly what I need to study... I don't have a solid base. In grad sch, Digi Publishing I recall Doctorow saying something like you need 1,000 people as a base that will buy anything & everything you do! WOW great formula! I like that. So I need to do something about shaking off my resistance and finding a base audience... Hoping for new inspiration, GJ glorijean

Grazie Abbie, ho ancora tanto da imparare.
...al lavoro 😊

Thanks Abbie! SO much to do!

Howdy!
Although I have just joined this community and I am writing to you from Romania, I will read all the articles with interest.
I wish you a creative day!

This is great info. Thanks

Wow, this is a very helpful thread! I will certainly be taking all of these things into consideration. Marketing has not been my strength so I look forward to implementing these tips.

Hi Abbey,

I am new here and just read your post. Thank you for the input, I sure will take it into consideration. I am new in the market as well, so all that I can read about it will help me.

Great list Abbie. Thanks for putting it together. Some of the stuff I've already been asking myself (I know I'm no Ansel Adams, but keep asking myself what I could do better, are there photos I'd cull from my gallery. etc). As time goes by I'll try to read through the links.

As I go through the list of links to check them out, I've found one that don't work for me (don't know why). https://fineartamerica.com/showmessages.php?messageid=2040787 is one.

Hello, I will definitely try to get back to sales since i have had limited sales, just a few things from friends. I don't upload as much material, since time is of the essence. I will start t gradually getting back and hopefully get some sales. Thanks for the tips as always

Good to know. As a new seller I've been curious about this

Thank you for the helpful information.

Very helpful and gives me energy to engage and continue uploaden! Just got a premium membership after a bit of doubting but I think I can make this work!

Thank you for all your helpful information! I have to change some titles on my artwork and upload photos of my paintings. I have more photos to upload too.

Thankyou I'm new here and definitely will give it a try..

Thank you so much!

Thank you for all the info in one place!

This is great info. Thanks

Awesome info! :)

Thank you so much, Abbie!

Thank you very much

Thank you for the useful information!

Interesting, thanks for your insight.

thanks so much!

Thank you for the info!

This was very informative.

Thank you Abbie, for your excellent post. I have favourited this page, so I can peruse the information you have given. Although, I have done Print On Demand before, I think there is always something new I can learn. Especially when it comes to the marketing side of things! So, this information will be very useful. Have a great week! :) Regards Paul

Abbie, thanks for all of the great links to these helpful sales suggestions!

I look forward to implementing many of them since sometimes selling seems to be more difficult than creating.

Thank you so much for posting this! I look forward to going through all of the knowledge and help posted here.

thanks it is helpful i am new and i want to share Uzbekistan art

Although my profile says I am here since 2019, I really started posting my work in 2023. I have had no sales yet. I would like to have at least one, so that I know what my artwork looks like for real. Anyway, my question is, has this post helped some of you getting more sales?
Thank you very much.

@valerie, you answered your own question. You only took it seriously for a year, it takes time to get sales. You have to advertise all the time. Abstract is hard to sell as it blends in with all other abstract, you also need more keywords. Many of the images I clicked on won't print because you enlarged it. I can't point to any one single one because they all seem to have digital issues of enlarging it too much. You can't enlarge them at all. If its digital, start larger. After those are fixed, beef up the descriptions more and add more keywords.
