It's That Time Of Year Again!

[MorganRalstonArt]

So I'll be promoting the artwork of anyone here who asks to my nearing 50,000 followers here on Etsy!

Just leave a comment in this thread and I will find something of yours that I can "heart"!

Thanks, and I hope this holiday sho(i)pping season goes swimmingly for you all!

Read your Facebook comment. You have been really busy. Need to get some of that motivation from you.

[MorganRalstonArt]

Haha, well I wish I could hand some to you in the mail! Maybe following my Facebook Page will be enough to motivate you?

I have some W.I.P's. on the go. I'll be painting one or two paintings a day until Tuesday. I have a job interview for a part time job (just something to pay the bills since my art doesn't cover it all). Depending on how well that goes I may paint one on Tuesday as well.

I have so many reference photos to work with all with a unique setting. Should be some good work!

Oh, and I "hearted" a few of your Etsy items. :D

Hope to see you around my page!

Please include me Morgan! PS do you know about #SSPS on Twitter? (Stands for Shameless Self Promotion Sunday.) Every Sunday they get together and retweet each others' listings!

[MorganRalstonArt]

Consider it done! I promoted a couple of your floral pieces! I'm not big on Twitter, but considering that I have NO idea which social media site is bringing me customers... I could spend a bit more time on it.

[SKColeArt]

Thanks Morgan, that's appreciated. I have had more success with driving views to my Etsy shop on Twitter than I have had on any other social media so far. That's just my experience, but I thought I would share that with others in case it helps.

That's so kind of you Morgan! On a side note...I'm from BC too in Victoria. :) Love your work!

[AfricanGranny]

Love your shop Morgan . . . Such bright happy colors. . . Wlll visit your Facebook page as well . . . Off to get motivated

Hi Morgan! I'd love a little help on here!:) Thank you in advance! That's awesome you have almost 50,000! I just reached 2000 and I thought I was doing good!

[JBeaudetStudios]

Wait, I have 2000 admirers not followers. Almost 2000.:)

[MorganRalstonArt]

Beautiful work, everyone! I promoted some paintings from each! Hopefully that will go a long way! I do see quite a few re-promotes from each piece I "heart" so it should get you each some exposure. :)

Keep up the painting, everyone!

Jennifer - That's a big number for admirers. That's great for self promotion. I only have around 700 mostly from team members and other sellers.

Followers don't help me sell my own work. Just everyone who's work I promote. So I may as well use it to everyone's advantage.

Hi Morgan,

I would greatly appreciate any help that you could give! I saved some of you items too to spread the love but I do not have nearly as many followers as you do. My sales have been really slow over the past 2 months so I also began looking for a part-time job to make a little extra money. How did the interview go by the way?

Morgan, the Canadian reputation for niceness just got another boost. Thank you so much!

[JBeaudetStudios]

Thanks Morgan! I'm sharing yours on my sites! :)

[Former_Member]

I only have 336 followers and 1312 admirers
I think I'm the worse self promoter on earth
I do t know the benefits of followers and admirers

[MorganRalstonArt]

Shared some things from the galleries of everyone above!

Donna - Followers can see whenever you heart something like a treasury or a painting.

- Admirers can see when you add new work to your own shop.

- Followers are just following a personal profile not your shop.

[JBeaudetStudios]

I definitely noticed a little boost from your hearts Morgan! Thank you!
I think I asked this last year, but how did you get so many followers? If they're not favoriting you shop, where do they all come from?:)

[MorganRalstonArt]

Short story - Etsy set my profile as a "person to follow". So when you sign up you have to pick an interest. If you pick ART you can follow one of a handful of people, me being one of those people. There's probably about 5 people to follow, total.

The reason; I only "heart" paintings and drawings, specifically and often. Plus, I probably used to whine in the forums quite a bit when I wasn't selling anything ;)

[sherischart]

Thanks Morgan for the short story. :) Making note of the whining. (now!) ;)
Your energy is contagious. Thank you! <3

Kamara Larry <3 your palette of energy in this painting that caught my eye immediately. You have quite a lot of views I see.

I'm always curious as to how artist's make money after they ship for less than there shipping charges? $25.00 for 16x20x1 You have no clue as to final weight and the box you find and the zone until you are off to the post office.

My goal for the new year is to make a graph as to sizes/location(zone)/weight to give a better calculation. Then again, January 2014 USPS is having another escalation in pricing.
