Just Joined Today

Hello I just joined today and uploaded 10 images. How soon can people see and order from my site?
Plus did not see any payment information for using this site. How does that work? Thanks

right away. however you'll want an avatar if you want to show up in the search. you have to fill in paypal info and SS number to get paid. you have to do your own advertising btw. be sure to put your images in galleries, and if you don't, be sure to set your default to images or it will look like you didn't upload anything. you have 1 thing uploaded twice btw.

add descriptions and more keywords. (so google can find you.)

Thank You Mike! I will follow your suggestions. Also what is the commission percentage between the artists and the site? And are all prints good quality? just wondering ...
Yes I do have an image on there twice .Thanks so much for your prompt response.

there are no percents, you add your markup, the site does the rest. as far as i know, the prints look good. however - your work also has to look good. if its not they won't print it. so if you have images that are less than stellar - glare, blocks, bad crop (can see the edges), and so on, they may not print it and will make you fix it or you lose the sale. its a pain, but its a part of the quality process. a scanner works the best for paintings. i saw a few issues on yours, but for the most part i think they should all print. the main advantage to a scanner is that you can scan it larger and sell larger pieces (especially the duvet covers, yours don't quite fill them).

You apparently didn't hit the submit button when you uploaded. I don't see any images.
Before you try again, go behind the scenes and explore around back there. Hit the Default Settings button there. Fill in your defaults.

We don't work in percentages here. You fill in the dollar amount you want to put in your pocket when something sells in each size and product.

Ah, I see your images now... you have your default page view set to galleries, which you haven't created yet - and there isn't any point to doing so until you have more work up. Switch it to default to Images... behind the scenes, default settings.

she has it set to gallery, but nothing in a gallery. -- that's the trouble with galleries, it looks blank if you have nothing set.

You also have the same titles for 4 images. You should retitle them!

Hi Sandya, I agree with both and Heather do few things they suggested to you and I have not been long both on site and on team too. I had tp figure out things by myself though i'm still learning, Like Mike said you need to do some work of advertising on other site. I use Pinterest and google plus though have not sold any yet. Maybe there is something I'm not doing write. hope it works for you too.

Sandya use as many tags as you can think words like oil on canvas, paintings, woman dancing, wall hanging etc just an example because i see you only have few tags
