thanks Jo Jo
xkc

great hints thank you Jo….

Well said Jo, I hope a few people take more notice of their own work.

i’ve only ever sold 1 thing on here, so has anyone got any specific to me tips?
Thanks

Great hints JO, but;
I do all these things and can’t remember when I sold the last item here.
It seems that there’s so much artwork up on RB already that it’s hard to be found.
Another thing is that photographies don’t seem to sell well.
I noticed that shirts and paintings/drawings/PS art sell ok here on RB.

Hi Jo
Once again great tips for the multitude
You really are a sport and a wonderful person who just radiates helpfulness.
After the bullshit of yesterdays journal debate (which quite frankly has achieved nothing)
I felt you were unfairly singled out.
I saw it as popularity envy.
I have pulled the piss out of you several times and you have always responded favourably, I have never seen you attack or vilify anyone and even though you have been a target yourself you have always responded civilly and with measured and clear rebuttal.
I decided that you after much trawling back through the pages that you may be one of the most important people on this site.
IF we add up the tutorials, your modelling, trip and meeting organising and then include your RB support role there isn’t an area that you haven’t influenced.
Sadly this draws jealousy and regret.
I am now going to be an open supporter of you and be the first to say
Thank you for being unique
Sincerely
Danny Nolan

well done

Thanks Jo, really helpful suggestions there. I will be thrilled to the back teeth one day (hopefully soon) when I sell my first piece of artwork.

thanks for the great tips, still have to do the 10% thing then on to this.

Thanks Jo, very useful tips. Can I add one more thing: Organise your overview in a harmonious way (display pictures that actually look good in a square thumbnail, choose colours that work well together). The overview is the first impression of your work – It counts!

be polite !
:)

Thanks Jo!

Thanks Jo, great ideas for a novice like me.

Thanks Jo just joined so these tips are really helpful. Jo

thanks for the advice

Good advice Jo. Thank you.

I think these are excellent tips – though I am unsure of one of them “Remove negative or critiquing comments from under artworks- potential buyers can read them and you don’t want them to be put off.”

As a potential buyer (who may also have seent he comment before it was deleted) I would be more impressed by an artist who isnot afraid to answer constructive criticism constructively. I admit, it would be a judgement call what to do with each comment. Does anyone know of an actual instance where a sale was lost because of a negative comment? If I see something I like, that will be what influences my decision, not someone else’s subjective impressions.

great tips jo..thanks ..anything to help is always a good thing

Great tips for a newcomer to Redbubble. Thanks.

Good tips for a relative newcomer and who has yet to sell LOL !!

I think recent comments should go on top and later comments on the bottom. Oh well, Thanks for the advice Jo.

Yes, thanks, Joe

great tips ….. thanks Jo :)

Thanks Jo for your tips

some of those tips i have not tried yet. i will give it a shot

Thanks Jo. These are great tips and you’ve given me something to think about.

May I add something else? It’s related to showing only your best work, I think. In the short time I’ve been here, I’ve seen some fabulous photos with misspelt words in the title. That would put me off buying a laminated print of that work. It seems to be a particular problem with place names, and longer words. Quality includes everything about how picture is presented, not just the image.

Like Benjamin above I too have followed this advise, but no sales. I’m wondering with about 50k people how is it possible to get you work seen except possibly by accident.
Or, somebody coming on the site looking for (in my case) photographs, as I see it now, they would have to stumble over me. But, to coin the tried and true addage “Hope springs eternal”.........

Well said Danny! (RuiN)

Hi…I am Rosa Cobos.. from Spain..thanks for the tips… much appreciated for I me that am completely new in this “home”..but a little bit discouraging..it seems that the aim of selling is a sort of “heroic trip”...and that many of you, actually… do not sell…”a broom” (we say it like that in my country). Have faith..!!!!...
I have two years experience in another site, just for intercoursing with pics and comments and learnt two important things…
There are not true strategies for being totally accepted… massively accepted.
The care you put in corresponding and “being nice” with any one does not guaranty
any more fidelity or attention.
People do not notice it, but the “media” facilitates a sort of unmasking of the shadow.. and somepeople behave truly free and egocentric…and can be mean..(is not the rue.. thanks God) and others seems to be real saints…overindulging in good “feelings”.
And the most important of these is to overcome our own narcissism…egocenrism..inferiority complexes….or superiority (I have seen some cases too).. and try to live this honestly, with heart, enjoy the opportunity of challenging one´s work, give it credit oneself, learn from others, respect and tact..and good manners.
And….now…thanks a lot for hearing my introduction and your wonderfuo contribution to my “numbness” here.

Thanks for the tips, and I can see I have some re-working to do! I appreciate redbubble and I appreciate you for trying to help the masses :)

Thanks, Jo!

wonderful tips Jo …
thank you :>)

indeed very helpful and much appreciated – thank you for taking the time; it is something not be taken for granted. And so, with much appreciation – Thank You :-)

Thankyou :D

Very helpful.

Great tips- something to think about when I have a re-sort imminently! Desimages makes a very good point, I have also noted in my early journals- spelling is important (and I know some of mine have awful typos….again, to be sorted).
Fingers crossed for the sales futures!
