Marketing Your Art Page

I will be honest marketing is not my strong point. I ham having a hard time getting views on my art. I think I have provided good tag words. I post on social media and I have had an advertising banner with two blogs and I still don't get many views. Any advice?

Twitter, G+, Pinterest, Stumble, facebook, and now https://www.tsu.co/Lovenature26. At least you will get bots, LOL. It takes a lot of marketing. Keep working at it.

Hi Rosalina,
I had the same question and came across this discussion thread. How are you doing with marketing after 2 months? I am on Pinterest and Facebook and have my own website as well as FAA's website. I still do not have much in the way of views. (except for the bots) I've been here at FAA since September of 2014.

Lynn;

I would suggest your default page be set up for galleries. When I clicked on your site just now, I saw a lot of the same general snow shots in style and location. When I clicked on the Gallery tab, your page really popped out at me. Five monthsis still a relatively short span of time. Onething I learned was selling on FAA is a marathon, not a sprint. Your bio seems fine. I do prefer the first person approach in the bio, but I would caution against putting a link to another web site in it. You're trying to draw people to come here, not go somewhere else. Join some more groups and get involved in them and in contests. When I started thinking of FAA as more of a social media site, my views and sales went way up. Consider blogging.

Also, get a press release together on the FAA site. Look at a few of mine to get a few ideas --

I do two types of press releases. Most are done just so they'll appear on FAA which I will then share via social media. But some of my pressers are actually sent out to local TV ad radio stations as well as newspapers, both online and real, actual news papers. You never know when a presser might meet up with the right person on a slow news day.

When posting to Twitter target related groups as they're more interested in your area and therefore more likely to visit.

One of my photos is an Irish pub. So I tweeted Irish American twitter groups with 'want to own a little bit of Ireland, link to the photo and 10% discount
