How Do We Get Attention From The Public To Sell These Images...

Attention to sell images seems difficult to put it mildly. I understand a lot of images exist out there. This is my 14th attempt at book delivery and in image form and newly in E publishing this time...What am I missing? Face book...plus other nets delivered them then after a number of hits it has stopped and not a sale...not even a comment why in 6 months....Anyone give me a clue?Thanks all...

You don't have many keywords for people to use to find your work. Don't use / to separate keywords, use a comma. Otherwise, people have to search for "feng shui/meditation/dreamwork" specifically and exactly. Nobody's going to key in that specific keyword when they use Google. If you use feng shui, meditation, dreamwork by themselves, along with all sorts of other applicable keywords, you'll come up in the searches for those words.

No. 1... Never rely on the internet.
. Don't be a small fish trying to survive in an ocean of already established big fish......Get out there and get known!!.

This site is merely a platform to bring your clients to see your work.(and works of others at the same time while they are browsing)
It is not selling your work for you at all, it is merely allowing you to store it here....It already has top sellers that are promoted... So in effect, you are competing with that all the time.
Not that this is a bad thing.. After all, the goal of any website is to make profits.. so it is in their best interests to promote the best sellers..

So you need to become a best seller .... And the best way to do that, is to show your work to the general public in real time....locally...and then expand..

If you believe in your work.. then go find like minded people who believe in it too. You will be surprised (with a little home-grown effort) at how many sales you make.. (not to mention, how many fantastic connections you make along the way!
By the way.. your work is really beautiful! :)

You are making your job hard. First, they have to like the quote, and then, they have to appreciate the way the image enhances the meaning of the quote...
Or visa versa.

Besides working keywords AND descriptions, I would suggest offering about half of you selections without any captions, as a test to see if the text is inhibiting sale of the images.

Place names for the locations of the photos would be important keywords, for example.

you'll have a limited appeal by putting english text on there and putting a numbing like color on the background. people will have to like the saying and the image and be able to read it, and like comic sans. you have no keywords.

all your work has the same look. at the very least there should be a plain one and one with a saying. but i wouldn't list it in a comic like fashion. either place the text on the image with a nicer more elegant font. or place it along side of it. keep in mind that most of these images will end up in a living room, and very few will have writing like this on there.

keywords are very important though the fact you added slashes (no site uses slashes to divide things), and you only have 3 words for everything, not many will find you.
