Keep in mind, FAA does not sell your work in the sense that they are going bring the buyers to you. You may get a few accidently sales that way but basically you have to sell your own art OUTSIDE of FAA.

Don't get all bogged down in all of the internal, social aspects of FAA if you are seriously looking to sell your art. Do all of your advertising and marketing outside FAA through what ever channels you are comfortable with.

Most people do not want to spend money doing this so they use social media. Everyone will tell you that what they use is the best. But you have to decide that for yourself according to what you are most comfortable.

The most popular in no certain order are Facebook, Twitter, G+, Linkedin and some of the others. Some people will tell you you have to do all of them. I do not think you can do all of them and have any kind of saturation that it take to make the market penetration that will result in sales.

Again, you have to decide that for yourself according to how much time you want to spend.

The number one thing that will drive sales is the number of uploads or images you have for sale. Then how much exposure you get OUTSIDE of FAA. The groups, contests and those sort of things will NOT result in any meaningful number of sales. Your time is much better spent creating new art and promoting it outside of FAA.

At this time with only 5 images, I would not worry about any of these things. I would sped 75-80% of your time creating more art and getting more uploads. Rest of that time I would spend setting up a your Facebook and Twitter accounts (assuming those art the ones you chose to use).

And don't make the mistake of building your friends and followers of all artist. They are not going to buy. You need to find people that you would think are most likely to buy your art. Other artist are just looking to sell to you, not buy from you.

If you do use Facebook and Twitter remember, the best exposure is not through you friends and followers It is through the groups on Facebook and getting shares on both fave book and Twitter. On Twitter they call it "retreets".
