Has Anyone Actually Had Any Sales?

Seriously? You can only spam your social network pages for so long before you realized none of your friends are going to buy anything. I can't find my art on this website anywhere unless I search specifically for the exact title. Is it worth putting any effort into this or is it a hopeless waste of time? Just curious if anyone else has been able to make this work and what their "secrets of success" are. :)

Hey, Jenny. I don't know what Shawna's HLN is, but I was wondering the same thing. The other day I got on here as a visitor and searched my name, and only one photograph came up. I have 117 posted. There is so much on here we'll probably have to be very proactive in promoting it elsewhere. Maybe send your link here to Pinterest. I will probably do the same. Let me know if you sell anything and I will do the same! Good luck!

It's the only one from mine that sold up to now but there are sales: http://instaprints.com/art/all/all/all?sort=recentlysold

Greetings from Germany

Oddly enough, I just got my first sale on Instaprints today. At least, I got the email about it. However, it doesn't show up in my Sales area which is...confusing. I sell quite a bit on the regular Fine Art America site and when I look at Sales it only shows all of those print sales. I wonder what happened to the Instaprint sale? I have the announcement page and everything.

Good to hear, Vivienne ... if you're selling then there is hope that buyers are shopping this site or at least Google is bringing them here. Interesting what happened wth your Sales stats though. Congrats!!

Thanks for responding to the post! It does give me a little hope that I may eventually get a sale.

I've sold two Oil On Canvas Prints and I've only been on here since Jan. 2014 but I post my prints all over the internet for sale Google & Twitter is my biggest and most popular site that views my art. But, instaprints makes all the money since I can not mass produce certain art myself. I can print 8x8 10x10 art prints myself and sell them at a good price for the customers.. Vivienne, I myself have seen the sales sheet randomly disappear. It shouldn't do that! Good thing I screenshot my sells sheet and other info. I may need later. Also, when people visit your art page (gallery) on here by via iphone they can screen shot our art and steal it so they don't have to buy it. So this place is really not worth the trouble it take to travel take photos and all the other money it takes to do this.. and then we get ripped off anyways because Instaprints doesn't protect our art. Fine Art America is Instaprints operated by the same people. .Good luck if you stay

Noel -- would you do better if you posted your iPhone work on Fine Art America? There are a number of iPhoneographers over there.

InstaPrints, at least for me, is a place for keywording and bringing google search to my main site ... as the bio on our gallery page here is the same on FAA. Though, there are others who do great here and have quite large portfolios.
