You have nice work. There should be an audience for it. A good place to start is here --

It's a long read, but well worth it. You've been here for almost three years and only have 4,400 views which tells me you have not been marketing yourself very well. The easiest place to start is social media -- Facebook, Twitter. Google +, etc. If you don't want to do it from your personal Facebook account, set up a "business" page such as Marat Ivanov Fine Art or Artist Marat Ivanov. Send out links to your work or your AW site as a whole. Let people know you're here. Don't just limit it to social media. Do what you can in person, too, but social media is a great and easy place to start.

But also think of FAA as a social media site. It might feel like a game, but you have to get your name known within this site as well. Looking at the tabs on your profile, you have no events listed. Whenever you are going to be at an art gallery showing your work, create an event. Other FAA artists and photographers will see it who are in your area. It helps create a little "buzz" about you. Write a couple of blogs. Talk about your work and your art. My blogs don't get a lot of readers here, but they let your viewers know you are invested in this site and selling your work here. It's also another way to link to your work. I post blogs on social media too. And blogs are a good way to post to my personal Facebook account without feeling like I'm spamming my friends and family.

You have favorited two works of art. Favoriting other artists work helps get your name out there and creates a little good will between folks here. It also opens you up to what others are doing. Following other people here works good, too. Keep an eye on the activity stream. It's a great way to see how the people you are following use Fine Art America. You get to see the new work they upload, who is commenting, etc. Some of it may get tedious, but it's a good way to measure what folks do and how they do it here.

Adding your work to groups should be a must. You are a member of one group. It gets your work seen by more people. The same goes with contests. Think of contests much the same as groups, meaning don't enter to win, enter to be seen. Treating FAA like a social media site is a great first step to getting your site seen by more people. Then adding in the actual social media sites will bring others.
