i know your looking for more, but there really isn't. you play with the prices. if they pay it, increase down the line. if they stopped, decrease it a little bit. there really is no science to it. it really depends on the type of person buying it.

Nicole,

I think you're prices are a bit low. Also, are these paintings or photos that have been run through a "painting" program?

Nicole,

Your prices are low if only because you have everything marked at $20 currently. That means $15
for you regardless of size. Your prices really can scale up with size.

Even then beginning at $20 is at least $5 to $10 on the low side.

I am sort of in the same ship you are in. I am in the beginning of my second month.
You are in your third month. We have similar numbers of views per month.

While we need those views they are not necessarily sales. In fact for the most part they
almost never are direct sales, but instead a perception of past support to show future buyers.

So dove tail two big pieces of advise. Believe in yourself without any sales yet, or very few sales so far,
and know that until you have really gained some traction on Twitter or Pinterest you can not
broadcast to enough people to make a real difference in how many sales you get.

I exclude FB, SU, FB fan page, and others. I only sort of see all the FAA functions as helping a bit.

I see email stats reports as showing that if you can develop a large email list, you can have a built in
buying audience for your work.

Believe in your self. Or in clearer terms, dont sell your self short. I know I wont be.

Dave
