When I come across something great, I like to share it.  I recently discovered Fine Art America, an internet art print marketing, social networking and sales site that I find really amazing and wanted all GMG painters and photographers to know about.  Every creative person who has any interest in exposing and selling their work needs to have an internet presence as part of their marketing effort.  Many artists I know do not have a website, or have a website which is not properly Search Engine Optimized, so no one finds it.  Fine Art America not only allows you to have a web presence, but gives you an impressive array of tools and muscle to make it possible for your work to actually be found on the web and not just sucked into the huge vacuum of the internet. 

For free you can upload up to 25 of your images (up to 25M each – the larger the better as it allows you to offer larger good quality print sizes).  For $30/year (with a 90 day free trial), you can have a premium customized website and upload as many images as you want into an unlimited number of galleries, directly connected to FAA’s millions of visitors each month.  You can also connect it to your own existing website, especially if you have an e-commerce site, to drive more traffic to it.

You determine what you want to make on the sale of your images. When you receive an order for one of your prints on your website, FAA takes care of everything for you, including: printing, framing, matting, packaging, insuring, shipping, collecting payments from your buyers, and sending your profits to you each month via PayPal or check.  It’s a no brainer, so check it out.  I feel strongly enough about FAA that I have become an Affiliate, so if you do sign up for an account with them through this link, you’ll help yourself and me too.  http://artistwebsites.com/?affiliateid=G8661
