Re: Team captain

I am an 81 year old artist wanting to promote my art sales of originals and also prints but am at a loss as how to make the best use of Etsy to promote  my work. I would appreciate you looking at my shop "Wildflowerartbyjoyce" and see if there is anything I can do different to draw more people to my shop. Thank you very much

Re: Team captain

I am a 62 year old artist trying to supplement my income and then retire full time to paint.

 I am trying new venues to pull into my shop but to no avail.

Please visit my shop and advise what else I can do to pull in the traffic and sales.

Re: Team captain

I'm a 29 y/o Swedish girl based in Germany since last year. I started playing around with clay on my stream twitch.tv/bakamaica and eventually opened my etsy for sales. I'm mostly making popculture and game related charms. It's been a really fun and learning experience so far. I just ordered a UV light and I'm looking into UV resin and resin crafting too ^^ another dream is to make resin molds as well.

Re: Team captain

I started painting as a way to relax (with instruction from my daughter who is an artist).  Surprisingly, friends wanted to buy my prints.  So - I opened my Etsy shop in September.  About 1/4 of my sales come from my Instagram or Facebook page.

I just started a small ad campaign this month to see if that helps increase sales.

I am toying with the idea of taking my maps and doing more in the wedding industry...Save the Dates, etc.  More customization, makes me nervous.

Would love any advice to get my shop noticed.

Re: Team captain

Yes! I definitely suggest going the Save the Date route with your artwork. Itā€™s beautiful.I actually have a cousin that had a map for her Save the Date. Iā€™ll try to find it to send you a picture to give you some inspiration on how to go about the wedding stuff.

Re: Team captain

Hi! My name is Angela and I am a 37 year old artist. I have been doing art my entire life! I can design, sculpt, mold, cast, paint, and illustrate. I opened my etsy back in 2008. I cast from my original sculpts in durable polyurethane resin. Here on etsy I sell my pendant work (animals and fantasy stuff). My current career goal is toy making though. I have industry experience in film, video games, and toy making but original work is where my heart is at. I really need help in the ways of marketing as my sales are very slow and I need to build my audience so I can eventually go into production beyond resin. I have found Instagram is a great funnel system and suggest people post on there linking to your shop in your bio and mentioning it per post. People are obsessed with their phones and with Instagram as it's all visual and quick.  My pendants can be seen/bought here -->  https://www.etsy.com/shop/Meadowknight ..and my art toys can be seen/bought here --> https://meadowknight.storenvy.com/  And here is my Instagram to keep up with my works in progress and new releases among other fun stuff  ---> https://www.instagram.com/meadowknightcreations/  Thank you for including me here! Some gorgeous work you guys :).

Glow Oils! Ta da!  Hi, my name is Russ Wagner, I am a fine art oil painter 20 years.  Cityscapes, portraits, lately boats on water.   But my product on Etsy is my handmade glow in the dark oil paints, 19 glow colors in 3 sizes called Glow Cubed.   There are acrylic glow paints available, but none of them glow well enough for me to make the time investment on a series of paintings.  I looked everywhere to buy glow oils, but did not find any.  So, I made them myself.  If I had known it would take me 1500+ hours of R&D I would have never started.  But the reward is here.  They are so fun to paint with I thought I should share them with other artists.  It's amazing to see your painting creation glow through the night, people want them.  Layering glow oils allows the artist to make new subtle colors for day and night.   Glowing fleshtones, rolling seascapes, abstracts, modern art, and more.  Colors can be mixed, painted with a brush or palette knife.  Works with all translucent mediums.  They have a lot of versatility.  These are for experienced oil painters.   I sell on Etsy, Amazon, Ebay.  You can see a quick 1 min video demo here: https://glowcubed.s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/Instagram+4-5.mp4  Website: www.glowcubed.com . Art site: www.rwagnerart.com   I hope we can learn from each other to promote our gifts to the world.
