Looking For Tips To Increase Sales?

Hello Member

Uploading images on Fine Art America is half of the work. The other half is marketing. Fine Art America is a platform for artists and photographers to run their own businesses. The artists that are successful on Fine Art America do outside marketing to promote their work and we offer a handful of different marketing tools to help you e.g. Shopping Cart Widget, Email Campaign, etc. So I would definitely take a look at these features (found 'Settings') to help get some sort of marketing plan in action.

Being an active member on Fine Art America is also a plus - we have a very large community of artists and photographers. 'Favouriting' images, leaving comments, participating in discussion forums, etc., are big ways to get your work noticed! I would also look into uploading more images.

We have over 7 million images listed on Fine Art America with any you have loaded, , so if there is no marketing and promotion done on your end, your images will get lost in the mix. If you follow all of these suggestions you will appear higher and more often in the search engine.

We cannot tell why some sell and why some do not so we cannot give that kind of advice. However, here are some great posts on the forum and elsewhere about marketing your work. Please log in to view some of them

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.


----Mike Savad

 

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.

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 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

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.

@Jeremy Lee I have found that twitter and using specific hashtags has gotten a bunch of notice and attention. I started in May and have over 200 followers. I am sure most of them are other artists, and some are bots, but I am getting an average of between two hundred and three hundred clicks a day. It tends to be on the higher side if and when I promote specific items.

Kevin Felts

THANK YOU for compiling this...of course, I still have questions! Especially for you that have seen some success in increasing sales. Just a bit about me; I've been an FAA member for years. I've got give or take 1,000 photos posted here. To now, I've had minimal success selling, but like another artist mentioned, I mostly started as a way to archive and share my stuff with the wider public. I'd like to change that. I really LIKE FAA, and since I've been here so long, I'd like to make it work. But I find the site a bit daunting. I enter and occasionally win contests.

So, my questions are these:
1. Bloggers, where do you blog? On FAA? Your own site? Somewhere else? I love writing, so this part of marketing is not daunting; I just want to post where it will have the greatest impact.
2. I need BABY STEPS...where do I start incrementally, with marketing?
3. I don't say a lot in the discussions (this is an exception) because I'm not sure what I'm supposed to say besides "nice work." Do they really help increase sales?

4 The ONLY criticism I can levy against FAA is that since increased sales floats all boats including theirs, I'm not certain why FAA does not have a more comprehensive marketing manual or system for us "connection Luddites. Do they have one I'm missing? (besides this helpful list that is).

Photography arts don't sell much here in compare to Painting. And wildlife are the worst performers. Nobody wants to hang a print of any animal in their office or home walls. The advent of digital display and easy access to photos from internet have killed fine art photography.

 

Mike Savad

1 Year Ago

@amazing - Lots of places have wild life, such as every calendar and nat geo. Offices may want animals, veterinarians, taxidermists, hunters, lovers of that animal. It depends how its presented as an image and to whom.

Ask a painter and they will say that photos sell better.

Fine art photos are dead, but there is more competition. You have to figure out how to stand above the rest, which is the hard part. Mostly it depends who you show it too. Like a homesteader might want pictures of moose and squirrel... Or bears.

Our mail is sometimes removed from the ISP side of the site, seen as spam. I use a gmail address and get all mail. Its a good idea to keep it as gmail as customers mail may also vanish. You may get some mail, but like on comcast, they will give it now and then so you never know its a problem until you do know.

Its very true alot of artists look at the traditional way of selling through the gallery and think online sales is similar but its more like trying to stand out in a 500 000person art fair. We have to utilize other means of standing out and attracting an audience. A successful business man once said to maintain his personal brand he does 12 public talks, 52 interviews, posts 3 times a week and writes 1 book per year.

I don’t know about the elephant in the room thing. Maybe your Art isn’t that good. That’s not true. It is all about marketing. What is ugly to some may be beautiful to someone else. Nobody’s art is ugly or not good. Everyone is unique in their own way. There are people making billions with just three lines on a canvas.

Excellent pointers and couldn't agree more on the marketing aspect. As they say, a mediocre product with great marketing will always beats an awesome product without it. That said, I found this platform to be pretty robust although I think the FB integration may not be working any longer as I've heard they keep changing policies on external access, etc. Will have to investigate unless someone here knows otherwise and can advise? Happy New Year and well wishes to all! https://edward-fassio.pixels.com/

I really appreciate your tips! They are incredibly helpful and I'm sure they will be instrumental in increasing my sales on Fine Art America. Thank you for sharing your expertise with the community.

As a new artist, I am constantly learning and trying to improve my craft. I am so grateful to have access to valuable resources like these tips, which are helping me to navigate the world of fine art sales. While I have a lot to learn, I am excited to continue growing and improving as an artist. Thank you for your guidance and support.

I would like to add some tips I've research on the internet:

1. Make sure to optimize your artist profile and portfolio. Include high-quality images of your work, a professional headshot, and a detailed artist statement.

2. Utilize social media to promote your work. Share your new pieces and updates on your social media accounts, and consider creating a dedicated artist page on platforms like Facebook and Instagram.

3. Participate in art fairs and exhibitions. These events can be a great way to get your work in front of new audiences and potentially make sales.

4. Consider offering discounts or promotions to encourage sales. This could include offering a discount to first-time buyers or running a limited-time sale on select pieces.

5. Reach out to potential collectors and galleries directly. This can be a more personal and targeted approach to making sales.

6. Consistently create new work and add it to your portfolio. This helps to keep your portfolio fresh and ensures that you have a range of pieces available for potential buyers to choose from.

7. Use Fine Art America's marketing tools, such as their email list and targeted advertising options, to reach new audiences and promote your work.

Put your pixels/FAA site on your business card and attach it to every "real world" image you sell, and hand them out at real world events. I do sell better here at places I've been in the world with my artwork and my business cards. I'd like to see FAA?Pixels attach a sticker with our websites to the back of sold artwork here.

Problem I have with sending people to my FAA presence is, I have another website that I know if I send them their instead, when the look at my photo they don't get the other "Oh here are other images that have the same search terms. Those I send can to easilly got sucked into all of Fine Art America. There are tens of thousands of amateur photographers that under-price their work for affirmation as it isn't their career. A flooded market with good but not best work at half the price is hard for the souvenir shopper to pass up. Getty Images ruined the stock photo industry from a photographers standpoint the same way, only more insidiously. Oh well, a life of photography I was hoping to have a decent retirement from it, I have failed.

@mark - were they your images? Usually they erase accounts if the images were taken from other places, copyright issues, or trademark issues. Or if they were returned, you don't get the cash.

There are always bad eggs that will complain about such things, but usually the case is, the images were never theirs to sell. The site isn't a scam. Artists are paid, provided the right amount of alloted time goes by and the items weren't returned. Also if you didn't have your paypal set up, SS number etc, you won't get paid. Or if you don't accept the money in paypal.

Hi Abbie, and any others reading! Thank you so much for this discussion post heading, not only am I new to painting but I'm also new to FineArt America! I can't wait to understand this site more, as well as my own art and my own individual self. I'm very confident in my art, of course I can always grow and learn as a painter, honestly my only issue right now is both marketing and increasing sales. Honestly, baby steps are important as well considering that I just created my account around a week ago, so maybe I just need to continue grounding myself in FAA, socializing, and learning about the community that I'm apart of now. But Abbie, again thank you for the post and I can't wait to read your tips. Thank you so much!

Hi I've been out of FAA for about three years for health reasons. I came back the other day and have taken all my art work down and now I'm replacing it all with my new up to date Art Work.
I have just had a friend say " Shaun did you know your work isn't showing in your gallery" I'm not sure what that means as when I uploaded my images I thought that was all I had to do.. Could someone please let me know what I have to do to get my images into my gallery.

Thank you... Regards Shaun.

Hi Shaun,

Welcome back!

You are doing everything right - There are issues with the servers that are being worked on - they effect search and timely posting of uploads.

Your images will take some time to show everywhere on the site.

I’ve been a member for over ten years. Fine Art has sold one (1) piece in that time. I’ve done far better on my own with commissions. Doing specifically what the customer wants. Spent a lot of money on festivals and it was all wasted. Better to get on a “ call for artists” list in your town and state. I’ve had numerous images stolen and offer for sale by a Chinese website. When I wrote on their website that I was selling images for less than the stollen site they disappeared.

 

Abbie Shores

10 Months Ago

Joshuah

Here are some tips for photographing your artwork, or scanning it if that's an option for you. These tips can help you get the best possible image of your work:

Use a camera with at least 10-12 megapixels, and make sure it has a manual focus lens. This will help make sure your image is clear and high quality. The higher the megapixels, the larger the image file will be, which is important if you want to offer large prints.

Put your camera on a tripod if you have one, or use something like a stack of books to keep it steady. This will help prevent blurring or shaky images.

Try to take your photos outside in natural light, and adjust your camera's white balance settings so that the colors in your image look accurate.

When you export your image, try to use the highest possible file size while still keeping it under 25 megabytes.

At our site, we don't crop or change the shape of your images to fit standard sizes. Instead, we allow artists to upload their work as is, so you have the freedom to showcase your art in the way that you want.

I hope this helps, but let me know if you have any other questions or if there's anything else I can help you with!

Best regards,

I am finding it increasingly difficult to sell anything on Fine Art America, despite regularly uploading new work and trying to advertise it on social media etc? My sales have got lower and lower, over the last couple of years, to the point where its only just worth staying on the platform. Maybe I should engage more with other artists on the site, but I'm not sure this would help?

Engaging with artists is a good place to start however

Even though I have attempted to not watermark my photos, as suggested through the setup process, I am still not getting much traction. What are some tips for how I can at least get some shares on certain things? Thanks!

 

Mike Savad

10 Months Ago

@stephanie - all I can say is - it takes time. Looking at your images, many are way too small. Even for a card. Actually only some are too small, the 600xwhatever sizes are too small. You want to be more wordy with your descriptions and keywords. Then you have to read through all the links and do them.

here are mine.

You can't upload and wait, you have to promote yourself where ever you can. But it could take months or years to sell things. There is a lot of competition. My general note is, upload things that would catch your eye if you saw it in a group of other images, or that you would buy yourself for your own house.

I have a question. I'm trying to market my site like crazy as I need to sell. When entering my site a customer to see how it looks and works, when I click on "Collections," as if to take me to my other collections, instead my click takes me to a gazillion other artworks which are not mine? In that way then, if I'm doing all this marketing to try and sell my products, when you click on collections, my images are lost in the vast array of images none done by me? How do I keep my clients and my products of advertising on my site, otherwise it is a waste of my time to market if my clients or those that have seen my ads then are led off somewhere else not on my site and artwork? Linda.

Hi Linda,

You are clicking on the main collections - that will show all collections on the site -


You want to click on your collections - just under your profile picture -


Plus - Don't Forget

Your Fine Art America site will show all substrates of prints and Home Décor only.
Fineartamerica.com

Your Pixels site will show all substrates of prints and ALL other products.
Pixels.com
This is where you want to send your potential customers if you have not upgraded to premium.


If you have upgraded to Premium your Pixels Premium site will show all substrates of prints and ALL other products.
This will be the site you want to send your potential customers – They will see only your art work with no distractions or links to other artists work.

Your Artist sign-in and password is the same for all three sites.


Note: when you have a question - please post it to one area of the discussion forum - when you post the same question in multiple threads - you are spamming the forum - Thank you

As far as I know, comments give you a sweet feeling inside. But since they are too easy to rig, they don't count for anything as far as I know. There is no point in commenting on work. Getting likes, fav's, featured in groups, I think those help, a bit.

I have never made a single comment, and I only follow my mother and that's it. People comment thinking they will get buyers to click on their name for just being there. Sort of like a friend of a friend of a famous person. Commenting is more or less a waste of time and some people have the comments turned off.


EDIT this was to answer jennifer which she extracted the question, but it still stands, as far as I know comments are for fun.

Thanks Mike for your answer. I think I deleted my question about "do comments help" because I noticed Abbie's comment in the top saying it does help. So I went back to continuing my commenting. The reason I was doing it was because I thought when others comment on my work, it would help in searches not because my comments on others and hoping for someone to visit me bc of my comment. So you don't think comment helps on our own works?

I've been in the habit of participating in comment threads because I want comments on every one of my images I upload for so long it's hard to let go but I really need to find best use of my time for marketing. Really would like to increase sales more. I was hoping to be at an average of 10/sales month by end of this year but still at 6-7 (slower during summer)

 

Mike Savad

6 Months Ago

Its possible in theory that it might attract google. But I would think that you can then spam your own page with comments and stuff it with keywords. I guess its worth a try but google may ping you on it.

I have the comments on there as I think it might encourage a sale. If they got it then I will too. And I think it helps add a little bit of bulk, but can't say it helps one way or the other. I let comments happen naturally. Marketing should be outside the site, not working the site.


----Mike Savad

 

Jennifer White

6 Months Ago

Thanks Mike. I've just been questioning it because some of the biggest sellers here don't have many comments on their work I've noticed. It'll be a hard transition for me but maybe I shouldn't worry so much about making sure I have comments on my images. Would save me probably 15 mins a day that I could use to do a blog or marketing video instead as I'm not seeing comments increasing sales but videos and blogs get more attention.

 

Mike Savad

6 Months Ago

Be sure to put the sale on sales threads, that usually attracts people to post stuff. I also likes seeing congrats on sale as a way to remember that it sold at all.

I never follow people, I don't like images, I don't comment or worry I have comments or not. Its wasted energy. Entering contests help if you have something that fits the theme.

You could make a fake account to add comments if you really think it helps, but I doubt it really helps, if you want more keywords, pad out the descriptions more. If anything a comment is a link out of your site if customer clicked their picture.

Mike Savad

2 Months Ago

@jason - $30 isn't a lot of money, considering what you get. I doubt you could print much of anything for that price, you would have to pay over an over. Yes you can sell here, not everyone does. Many make a lot of money, some make way too much money. It really depends what you put into this site. If you don't put much effort in presenting the work or giving good descriptions, keywords or advertising. Then don't expect much in the way of sales. You have a lot of competition. You started in 2014, why ask this now?
