Never A Comment

I'm just a keen amateur photographer so I know my stuff isn't particularly great but I sell a fair amount on Fotolia, I'm just surprised that on here I get no comments (good or bad) and when I look at the "visitors" to any of my images they're almost always from Beverly Hills or New York. All very strange.

Most comments come from artists here on faa. Have you looked at others' work and commented?
beverly hills and ny are most often bots for search engines, not real visitors.
welcome to faa!

 

Just a quick look shows me one reason why you don't get comments Gary. You have no blogs, no favorites, followed 4, and are not in any groups. How do you expect people to find you and make a comment?

You need to network or post your images in some kind of discussion... like this... and siphon up activity.

Commenting on others brings about some reciprocation.

Sales are always better than comments.

Note: Not that I am a big social communicator, but have noticed that here on FAA it seems if you want/need comments(which by the way do not mean more sales, yet who knows??) you have to join some groups, follow discussions and participate in contests once in a while. Example: For comments, I have a little drawing, few comments, so I put it in a group I joined or a contest and voila...I have never seen so many really good comments.....will it help a sale, who knows? But if you want comments, participate in groups and contests and by all means GIVE others comments first. Most, (not all) will return the comment on one of your photos.

Gary;

These things take time. You've been a member on FAA for basically two weeks, have just 24 pieces of art for sale and, as mentioned, may not be very active in groups, contests, discussions and commenting on other works. Give it time, but also make your own mark here on FAA with the advice given.

most views are bots, you've been here for only a week, you don't have any groups, and unless your pushing your work everywhere, no one will know your here. i'm not familiar with that other place, but i'm sure it took longer than a week to get comments.

Wel,I think that this site is not very good for some people who are used on microstock sites.
From my experience, we (microstockers)are used to sale on daily baisis , sure , small money from one download but we have a lot of them (and we dont need to advertistment our work ) . but here... Not a single sale for months.

Gary;

You may wantto rethink your pricing. It seems awful low and some of the pricing is the same for different sized prints.

yeah, but keep in mind the stock places spend big bucks constantly advertising all of you. on here - you have to do that yourself.

Sell Art Online welcome to faa...gary join some groups that are of interest to you submit your work....enter a few contest ..you can go to community to find these areas.problem with new artists is most people are not interested in new work posted for the day so you really get missed untill you follow a few people and people follow you best wishes .
