How Can We Post Our Works On Fineartamerica Homepage?

If you figure it out, let me know by private message ;)

no. if you could then everyone would want to. buyers don't go to the front page. you have to do the work to get people to see it. if you can catch the eye of the owner he might, but i doubt it.

I see these people who already on front page. How they did it? Thanks!

Fill out a check to David Bridburg....he will see to it......

Not signed

the owner of the site chooses what is seen on the front page.

dave you know your name is under your picture - right?

LOL. Those are chosen by staff. No amount of bribery (apparently) will get one's image there.

Dave

come on! must be way:)


why he choose that specific one? lottery?
heheheh

Usually they are proven sellers. So give it time. It can happen a few years from now.

Dave

Beautiful works!!!

then you figured it out on your own i see.

the works chosen represent the site for the most part. even if your chosen, it doesn't mean you'll get sales from it. i was only chosen a few times myself.

you have to do the hard work and advertise. everyone thinks they will suddenly get sales because they appeared on the front page. doesn't work that way.

One of my artwork was selected for the front page four or so years ago. It gained around 10K views by now. Guess what?!! It only produced a couple of sales.. But everyone loved this portrait!

I guess you create a good art, then hope that it would be chosen. And if it is chosen, make the best out of it, place a good description and comments inviting the visitors to check out your other artworks :)

Cheers,

There is a hidden button in "Behind the Scenes".

The button works for Westies.

Dave

Everyone who is suggesting there is a "way" to get there other than somehow catch the eye of the site owner or, maybe, his staff is kidding around, Bike Flower.

better believe you'll be getting emails about that hidden button now...

its not really hidden, but a combination of hitting them all in the right order.

I used four mouses once to get in there hitting them all at once.

Dave

i believe the correct term is mice.

sometimes, meeces.

Thanks for correcting a serious oversight on my part.

Dave

i hate meeces to pieces.

a literary classic one mustn't forget.

The side effect of evoking the button is it turns some people green. Especially those with an inflated sense of self worth.

...
Oh yeah and it only works on the first Tuesday of every month between the hours of 9 and 10 pm.

Thanks, guys, for giving me the best laugh I've had all day!!

You can go crazy trying to figure out how to get on the first page. I know I have...

Looking for keywords then adding a keyword related to the collections available and then realizing there is a category for recently sold.I could buy my own print to get it up there but that would get costly. There is the recently uploaded, but that changes really quickly because of how many people are uploading and I would have to upload the images constantly. There was an originals tab, which I cant seem to find now. That was useful. THen I could sponsor a page, but that task is HUGE!

Bottom line

Just do good work and love what you do.

Collections are created by the small office staff. They see what they like as it comes through as sales. They can't possibly satisfy everyone with their selections.

2,000 new members joined today alone. Probably a good percentage of them expect to be featured on the home page as soon as they upload their first image.

You guys just don't want us to know your secret button.

I willing to share the secret front page code.
Up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A.

Edward, so 2000 joined today. 2% will search the forums and of that a small percentage will follow thru to with the undaunting task of uploading art. I bet most give up. But there will be a few that follow thru with all the work involved

High Five, Ruth. lol

Do You also use other peoples car, house, bank account without permission ?

Sometimes a well timed, well-placed, box of Kristie Kreme donuts works wonders.

Kristie Kreme? Hmmm...

Mike,
"meeces to pieces"
Isn't that little hairy peanut butter covered in chocolate that comes in a little bag?
