The best of my explanatory “how to do it” articles
I’ve experimented in the past with trying to sell digital downloads from Etsy with zero success and so I made all the products inactive and forgot about it! But recently I was following a discussion on the Fine Art America forum about using FAA as the production partner for products sold on Etsy and some people reported some interesting success in selling via an Etsy Store. Etsy, of course, used to be entirely home-made products but now they allow you...
I’ve written a post about my experience in creating an Etsy store to sell metal, canvas and paper prints on the Etsy platform. The process would be that someone buys a print on Etsy (I hope!) and I get the order. I then place an order for that print on either Pictorem or Fine Art America and they ship the item to the buyer’s address. Easy! But how to price those prints on Etsy? I decided to focus on just...
Just a quick post in case you weren’t aware of this. Fine Art America has released a new feature that automatically creates a description and keywords for images that are uploaded without them. An image that already has those pieces of metadata pre-filled are not impacted, but if you upload an image without any metadata, or with just the title completed, their AI system will create the missing ones. I understood that they used a title (if present) to help...
I’ve written about Pictorem before – I now have three main portfolio sites for my Fine-Art prints – Fine Art America, Pictorem and Photo4Me in the UK. If you decide to join Pictorem, please use this affiliate link. I might get a small bonus! My reason for writing now is that I idly looked at the Sales History tab on Pictorem and saw a sale that I wasn’t aware of with a date of 18 February 2024. It was this...
Black Friday has some interesting sales, but one I didn’t expect was an extra 20% discount off any prints you have made at Pictorem – the site I use for my own large prints that already has free shipping. All you need to do is to upload your file, add the code BLACK20 at the checkout stage and an extra 20% will be discounted. I made six very large acrylic prints earlier this year and I certainly wish this had...
I only mention these from time to time, and only when it is a particularly good sale! I just saw an email that announced that the Jixipix professional digital painting apps will be on sale for Black Friday, with 50% off the normal pricing. That means that each of the Pro Products that I use are $24.99 instead of the normal $49.99 using the code BLK50. I have an affiliate link if you are interested that gives me a small...
The way that the general public actually finds our photos online is often a mystery and so I always ask to track how my marketing is working.
A new book from the master of stock photography. Sell your photos as Fine Art Prints using online Print on Demand platforms.
How people find (and buy) online prints can be a mystery. Here is my best guess of the process that people might follow!
There are fantastic photos on Dubai online, but how many can you capture on a short visit. This photographer attempts to do that in four days.
