Can You Help Me To Personalise My Profile?

Welcome to FAA!

First thing I would do is default to your images rather than your gallery, since you have so few images. You need many more tags/keywords.
Also write a bio and then market your work outside of FAA.

Your work is beautiful!

Thank you mam for your valuable comment! I'm humbled.. I didn't upgraded my account to premium.. Is it use full if I upgrade?

Yes, I agree - default to your gallery, and then write a bio with something that viewers can read about you. If there is nothing written there, then there is nothing personal to get to know.

Also, and most importantly, the digital size of the image files that you have uploaded are extremely small -- too small, I would say, to allow for successful prints.

Yathi,

Welcome! Nice work.

1. re-upload the image above and get it vertical.
2. Add more keywords, Indian Art, the place where it was created, the place where the scene drawn was made, many, many more. Look for artists here with the same type of art and see what words they used.
3. Upload more art, 8 images is way too few
Raise your prices to around $22 as the cheapest/smallest. Visit other artists and see how they structure their pricing.
4. CREATE,CREATE,CREATE!
5. Need larger images, your's are very small and not ALL of them are sharp, may not print if sold. Some of your images don't offer prints, so fix that too.
6. Create more "local" art, don't try to create art that looks "western" or American, stick with your unique talent and surroundings.
7. Try to create some more "folksie" art, whimsical art of your country, might be a big seller down the road.
8. Whenever YOU upload your own art, make sure at least you "like" it, which will help in searches.

Good Luck,

Rich Franco

Yathi,

Until we see more of your art, don't worry about the "premium" yet.

Rich

Thank you so much for your information and suggestions Mr. Robert and Mr. Rich franko.. Its really useful for me.. I ll modify my profiles as you said..

Sure sir,.

Yathi,

Do not be too humble. You will feel you are a doormat later.

Be right sized.

Just my advice.

I think you need to create a better clearer avatar.
You need a bio.
You need more work.

How you do those things is all your idea, not ours.

Most of us have learned by seeing what others have done. Often
without asking.

Dave

Thank you sir.. I still have lot to study on art.. Its better if I be humble..

If you click on the HELP tab you will find the answer to many of the questions that you may have.
Keep on uploading good quality images

Yathi,

I would keep that avatar for now, very different and people will see immediately that you are a painter!

Rich

Which avatar sir? Can you tell me the paintings name?

Yathi,

The "avatar" is the photo/image that shows up when you post here, so your "avatar" is you painting, almost as a silhouette, which is really a good one!

Rich

To default to your images, go behind the scenes. click on default settings, default tab and switch to images.

This is what people see when they come to your profile page. Nothing! You should default to images!

Yathi,

Go to the "Behind the Scenes" or control panel, where you added the prices. Under the first row, called "general", you'll see "default settings", click on that and then you'll see "default Tab" and right under that, where you can choose galleries or images. Select images for now, until you get many more uploaded,

Good Luck,

Rich

It's ok to default to images while you only have a few.
Once your collection grows then make galleries and default to them.
It looks more tidy and lets people find the images they want easier

I have defaulted to Images! Thank you!

Looks much better! Now just need to add more. Be careful with your copying the artwork and should have larger files for people to buy.
