I have joined many sites over the last year as well as auction sites such as Ebid. I include links in my sig bars in email, post occasionally to Word Press, Technorati, Digg , MySpace as well as some art gallery clubs but for all the time I spend and urls I have amassed in the search engines, if some one isnt searching for 'me' they never make it to my auctions .
On ArtWanted.com since Feb I have had over 68,000 viewings and over a 1000 comments~ but still see that doing little to affect my sales.
Sales are down, yet those who see my artwork, say its good.
I found local.com, oodle.com, craiglist to advertise on, but still no results...
I would love to find out some secrets for promoting and advertising my artwork as I really need to work from home, living on permanent disability and trying to establish an online business that isnt in the red... [breaking even would even be nice!] BUT I am aspiring hirer,hopefully, just getting bummed out when auctions come and go unnoticed.
Before Christmas I was selling 2 out of 3 auctions. After Christmas it was 1 out of 5-6 and later 1 out of 7 on ebay which led to my monthly fees eating whatever profit a sale may have brought, so now it is over a month and I have not listed on ebay but am hoping to see some sales here.
Good luck to us all!
