Fasgallery Tool's For Selling Faa Art

There are a lot of people telling everyone they should do this and they should do that but only few have actually gone out and created anything to help anyone do anything. Of those few, some of them got beaten up for their efforts. So, having been one of those that has done my fair share of preaching and ranting, I decided to do develop some tools that people can actually use to maybe makes some sales.

So, here they are:

The first Facebook group I started is called FineArtAmerica https://www.facebook.com/groups/WesternArtBuyersAndSellers/

This group is for FAA members only. You post you image with links back to your FAA account and ONLY your FAA account, which includes Pixels.com and your AW. In fact I strongly suggest you use your AW links. This is NOT the place to make comments. They mean nothing here. In fact they will get you banned if you keep doing it. This is NOT the place to promote you FB page or you personal webpage, that too will get you banned. And yes, I am a tyrant when it come to the rules. Everyone on FAA should joint this group. Once you join you need to READ THE RULES so you understand the concept in play here and why comments and non-image posts or not fair to the other members.

The second FB group I stated is: Western Art Buyers & Sellers https://www.facebook.com/groups/1403150156590398/ -- This group is open to anyone on the net selling Western and Native American art. But ONLY West/NA art. Again, ignoring the rules will get you banned. Again it not fair to the rest of members to violate the rules.

The third group is: Seascape Art Buyers & Sellers https://www.facebook.com/groups/1473698576246013/ -- This pretty much the same thing as the West/NA group, same rules apply.

The fourth group on FB is: eBay Buyers & Sellers https://www.facebook.com/groups/741852785862849/ -- This group is for people, buyers and/or sellers, anyone that has an eBat account. I know, some of you hate eBay. I don't what to hear about! I have recently discovered that there are a lot of FAA members that also sell on eBay. In other threads I have laid out how the combination of eBay and an FAA account can work hand in hand, using the eBay account to promote FAA. This group was basically started for those people and of course for myself. If you sell on both FAA and eBay, you need to join this group.

The fifth group I stared is on FAA not, Facebook. It is called Seascape Photography Only http://fineartamerica.com/groups/seascape-photography-only.html?tab=overview -- I started this group mainly to learn what it was like to manage a group on FAA. Trust me, this is more work then you can imagine. i salute to the group managers and the job the are doing. The other thing I am trying to do with the group is to get people sharing the group as much as possible with their FB page and Twitter followers.

The whole idea of ALL of these groups to is to get all of the members to allow all of the posts to flow onto your Facebook page. if the are 1000 members that have just 100 friends on a average, that is 100,000 potential sets of eyeballs that will see your work. But that's not all!!!!

We also expect that everyone join other groups, this is a must if the program is going to work. And better if they are not just art groups. If you sell seascapes, join boating groups, sailing groups, anything nautical. You have to look at the group and make sure they allow posts that sell products but a lot of them do. If you sell Western art, joint western related groups, etc, etc.

Once you join these groups, share your own posts with these groups and where ever appropriate, the posts of others.

The key to the whole thing is SHARING!! You have to work the program! Everyone has to SHARE and Tweet the work with one another. On Facebook it is SHARING on Twitter it is ReTweeting.

I know, why should you spend time promoting other people's work? Because you can broaden you reach 10 or a 100 fold if everyone works the program!

Now I know there are a lot of naysayers out there, just like I mentioned about the others that got beat up over their legitimate efforts. Personally I don't what to hear about it.

If you have positive, legitimate feedback on how we can improve the concept or how we are maybe going astray, fine. I certainly want to hear it. But if you are inclined to just come in here and rag on us and cast negative aspersions as was done to some of the others, please save it for another thread.
