How To Help People Here And How To Be Helped

I am a little afraid to be the first to respond LOL but maybe make this a sticky?

Abbie,
I have a ticket open since Sunday and haven't had any news yet ... can you take a look?

Ticket #645446
Thank you in advance

Abbie,

Part 2: People that post questions and receive help from fellow members, THAT person should out of courtesy, acknowledge the responses, doesn't have to be individually, but can thank the group's answers. See many questions posed here, lots of responses and then the original poster never responds or comes back.....seems two sides to every coin...

I stickied it, Val. Thanks x

I think the biggest reason why others made them say one succeeded is how he could

Rich, I've seen that too, but, want to add, I have so often not had a direct reply, but a visit to an artwork with a courteous FAV. ...
I do the same, in gratitude.

Yes, some people respond in private, or by commenting on work instead

I totally agree

Beautifully and clearly expressed, Abbie. Thank you for your efforts in doing that. Because of things you mentioned, is why I tend to stay quiet in the forums, but I do learn a lot, and appreciate the efforts of those who do share helpful information.

I am looking forward to seeing things handled better in the future.

I completely agree! Great post, especially about guessing!

This is spot on. Well written.

I may need a little help understanding and navigating things like my own website and - what are widgets? - I'm not new to the site; just to the forum, and I am 54 and have never had a site of my own before.

After I joined Fine Art America several years back, I became ill and had to undergo several surgeries - I still painted when I could, but I suffered a hypoxic brain injury from a prolonged lack of oxygen which led to my being on life support for 7 days. I can get lost in reading directions or instructions sometimes. But I'm fine reading the Congressional Oversight Reports. It sounds strange, I know.

But enough of that. I will try first - I want to do things myself. It's good to know others are willing to help me. I was a little intimidated to join this site. I just didn't think my art was good enough. It has gotten better.

My iPhone doesn't take the best pictures. So I need some advice on how to get some clear and great photos of my art without hiring a professional.

You see, I've been painting for almost 14 years, I've sold just about 20 - 25 pieces in all that time, and it can be discouraging.

I need to learn how to promote my artwork.

Thanks for any suggestions at this time.

Melody, a lot of what you want is in here, https://fineartamerica.com/showmessages.php?messageid=4839599 :-)

If not, just ask

Hi guys. I’m new to fine art America and don’t really know much about the site and how to navigate. I’m also a new photographer and saw this community online and thought it would be a good start for me. I think my work is pretty good to be honest but I would love more feedback from people. Especially on how to get my photographs selling. Could anyone explain to me how this process works? And what’s a good way to make sales would love for this to be a passive income thing? Thank you guys.

Here’s the link to my website if anyone would like to take a look. Thank you again.

Hi there
I am new on the site and I have actually managed to post 2 photos only : just to give it a try!
I am looking for any advice on how to promote and have my page being seen as much as possible.
Thank you

On the FAQ link that was next to this in the main index. Loads of advice

Thank you for posting this information. New members need a helping hand.

I would like to know if anyone here is also doing the Shopify connection?

Are you able to upload your artworks to sell there?

Anyone has any tricks or pointers how to work out issues?

Trying to get the Season going and would love to Use the Tool to the Max!

Any HELP greatly, greatly appreciated.

Stay Safe everyone, and much success throughout.

Great question, Rafael. I would like to know, too. Thank you.

Shopify is working fine. If you have issues with the app, remove it and re-install

thank you

Hello, I am a newbie. I want to sell my photographs here. I want some help to sell my photographs. Please check my photographs and help me sell them. :)

Thank You Abbie, for your prompt response. I will try it and hopefully I come back with the Greatest news for VIVA and everyone who uses it.
Stay Safe

Anushka, I recommend doing a search in the discussion forum on "marketing" before asking a question about how to sell your photographs here. Maybe someone will chime in with a list of links to to relevant discussions, they often do.

Once you've reviewed what's been discussed about marketing here in the past, if you still have a question then start a new discussion, just make sure you ask a specific question.

I have an Update on the Shopify issue:

Please tell me someone here has been able to get it working correctly.

First thing I did was delete the App and start from scratch. Reinstalled and then....

I tried & it only uploads to Shopify a few of the articles per artwork. What am I doing wrong? Abbie, can you please help me out here?????

Please update whether Sean is working on it as part of the overhaul at FAA and it will all be great in time for the Now Holidays Upon us!

Excellent and well said...or written.

That was helpful!

Thanks for this thread Abbie! We are grateful for this wonderful way to share and sell artworks. The Department of Justice found the hackers. They updated it today.
You provide a priceless service through these programs.

Good job

I need to speak to a real person to find out why my gift to my sister has not shipped yet. It said Oct 16 it would ship. Her Birthday is the 26 and today is Oct 21st. This is my first time ordering from this site. I might not shop here again if I can't get response. It tells me to check the no robot. Well that does not work. I use Chrome already. I need help with this purchase.

Yea, am new and figuring it out on this site

Hi Michael - welcome to FAA

You can get started with this link https://fineartamerica.com/blogs/just-joined-fine-art-america-now-what-do-i-do.html

and check out the FAQ at the top of the discussions page

Great advise to avoid chaos and confusion as well as spam.

Thank you for this insight.

Helpful stick.
I am new on the website and am still figuring out how it works. :)

Hi, I am not sure where to ask this question. I co-founded a collective of artists, Compassionate Arts in Action and we focus on arts for community based issues like racial justice, environment and health. Several of us artists have an artist's site on Fine Art in America. Is it possible to set up a Selected Collection of Compassionate Arts in Action? With links from the art to our individual sites on FineArtAmerica? When art products sell in the collection would the profit sale go to a Paypal/bank account for Compassionate Arts? We could link off of our websites and social media.

thank you.
