These are the things I do that I believe bring the sales.ĭo a search for anything on FAA and you will get hundreds if not thousands of results. It also means a lot of back and forth with a potential client if they aren't sure what they want and the possibility of losing a sale because you couldn't respond quickly enough.įine Art America is definitely not perfect, and selling on there takes work. Ideally you have your own site where you can sell your work, but that's pricey and in most cases requires that you do the fulfillment. Also, they determine whose work shows up in searches and they make it easy for a potential buyer to see other artists' work. You don't get email addresses, you don't know where they came from, and you don't know what they searched for to find your shop. They have fulfillment centers all over the world so orders aren't limited to the US.īUT, here's the problem with FAA: they own the customers and the customer information.And the 15th of the month I get my money via PayPal. This means anyone can shop there even if I'm off the grid. They print, frame, pack and ship and if there's an issue they also deal with the returns. You don't have to sell any of those things if you don't want to but the option is there if you choose. It's not just prints and frames, they have pillow covers, towels, phone cases and lots of other things you can add your images to. They have lots of choices for products.There is no inventory which means no one has to guess what will sell.Their premium features cost $30 a year which is totally affordable.
There are no fees to start and they have a free option so I could try it by just investing my time.That means that unless you send people there, no one will randomly find you the way they might on FAA. They are geared towards selling art where other sites (like SmugMug) enable you to sell there but it's not a place people visit to shop.Why would I choose to sell there? Here are some of the reasons: There are currently more than 100,000 photographers on Fine Art America. This is the first of two posts on the topic because there's a lot of info. I've heard from fellow artists that they'd like to know how I sell my work on Fine Art America so I'm going to spill the beans and share what I do. You can sell your work and you can make money. That's partially true, but there is room for more. The market is saturated and there isn't room for more. Many people think it's not possible to sell art on websites like these because there's too much competition. Are you making money on Fine Art America? Or on RedBubble or Society6? Lots of sites offer convenient print on demand sales and all of them have tons of artists trying to make some money doing what they love.
