Tips For Selling?

Hi everyone,
this is the first time I write anything, I wanted to know if there is someone who could give me some suggestions, perhaps to increase the sales of own paintings, their own experience in this regard, I don't mean only here but in general. Thank you.

Pay for the premium account.
Upload a lot more images.
Advertise as much as you can OUTSIDE FAA, like on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc, etc.
Do not get all bogged down in the social aspects of FAA like chasing likes, favorites, comments, contests, and groups.

Take a few classes in business, marketing and salesmanship at a local college. It will help you selling locally in galleries and online.

The importance of Descriptions and Keywords by Mike Savad

you may be able to push the religious stuff, but famous people will be harder - they have to really like those people in particular. you'll need more and the keywords should reflect who you painted. the description should be about the work you made, not the method you used, it shouldn't repeat over and over. but mostly you have to advertise 600 views in 3 years with 24 images, is not very much. i get more like 3000-4000 views a day. you have to really push the work, and create images that you would normally see in a house. and i've never seen famous faces on a wall. usually its some subject but usually not a face.

you really need to churn out the work, keep it new, and also spread out the themes.
