After 18 months, the sales of my fine art photo prints through my Etsy store have started to take off. How did I manage to achieve these 51 sales in a relatively new shop?

Selling photos with digital art effects as prints
I enjoy using the Jixipix digital painting apps and create images from my photos that I sell via the various print on demand platforms such as FAA and Pictorem
Experimenting with AI Voice Generation
I’ve been experimenting with generating an AI voice narration of some of my travel videos on YouTube using ElevenLabs as the underlying technology
AI driven keywording
I’ve decided to write about keywording this morning. For some time, I’ve used the IMS Keyworder website application which allows you to insert a few keywords into their web page and then choose which images match your particular one and then select the keywords from that appear in the various stock agencies against those images. I found that you can quite quickly identify photographs which match your image and then quickly choose the keywords that you think match the image...
Update on my Fine Art approach
It has been quite some time since I updated my thoughts on how to sell your images as prints. I, of course, need to mention that I wrote an eBook about this and much of the information in that is still valuable (I believe) to anyone thinking of trying to sell their work as prints rather than stock photos. As I will report next week, December will likely turn out to be a pretty poor month in terms of stock...
Update on Fine Art Print Sales
As you know, I’ve been trying for the past 3 years to expand away from stock photography into the sale of my better photographs as prints via both Print on Demand sites and now with my own Etsy store. I’ve written about setting up this store in previous articles but on one of my trips to Austin looking for a new home I took the time to watch a webinar and a series of videos by the Craig Alexander academy....
Selling physical prints in an Etsy Shop
I’ve experimented in the past with trying to sell digital downloads from Etsy with zero success and so I made all the products inactive and forgot about it! But recently I was following a discussion on the Fine Art America forum about using FAA as the production partner for products sold on Etsy and some people reported some interesting success in selling via an Etsy Store. Etsy, of course, used to be entirely home-made products but now they allow you...
Manufacturing Costs between Pictorem and Fine Art America
I’ve written a post about my experience in creating an Etsy store to sell metal, canvas and paper prints on the Etsy platform. The process would be that someone buys a print on Etsy (I hope!) and I get the order. I then place an order for that print on either Pictorem or Fine Art America and they ship the item to the buyer’s address. Easy! But how to price those prints on Etsy? I decided to focus on just...
Fine Art America adds AI created Description and Keywords
Just a quick post in case you weren’t aware of this. Fine Art America has released a new feature that automatically creates a description and keywords for images that are uploaded without them. An image that already has those pieces of metadata pre-filled are not impacted, but if you upload an image without any metadata, or with just the title completed, their AI system will create the missing ones. I understood that they used a title (if present) to help...
