Why Fine Art America is my Favorite Print on Demand Platform (Full FAA Tutorial)

hi everyone welcome back to my channel my name is maya royal and i teach creative people how to sell their art online and today's video is something that i'm really excited to talk about because it's going to be my new toy for the next year and it's a platform that's called fine art america it's a print-on-demand platform that i am starting to take very seriously and on this video we're not just going to be talking about how to upload designs onto products on fine art america like i'm doing with redbubble because this platform is so much more it has so much more to offer and i really think that this is a platform that i am going to be pushing forward with my print-on-demand and actively market my designs on it what i'm going to show you i am going to do like an upload design part and i'm going to do it with two types of products one of them is going to be my photography and the other one is going to be illustration based like we have on redbubble and when i say photography it doesn't have to be photographs you could be uploading photographs of your oil paintings of your watercolor paintings of your ink sketches you could be uploading photographs of your pottery creations this is really an amazing platform that has been super into the real true aspect of art and really keeping their name fine art america despite all of the other platforms that seems to be filled with spams and filled with people who upload you know 60 70 designs a day like an automatic pilot thing that don't even look good on products and you will not find this on fine art america for a very simple reason that we will be talking on later on this is the easiest platform which is also in-house which means they have a marketplace also integrated with shopify so you can use their print-on-demand services in your own store and also gives you a free website which makes it the best platform for you guys to really push in and promote on instagram and pinterest and any other kind of social platform because you don't have to worry about giving basically traffic to your competitors we have a lot coming up today with this ping pong video and you know if you if you've seen any one of my ping pong videos you know what this means you'll be talking to me and then you'll be talking to my screen i'm gonna show you my screen as i upload things you're gonna be coming back to me and then i'm gonna take you back to my screen and back to me again and i would like to remind you at this point if you are joining us for the live premiere this is not a live youtube video this is a live premiere of a video that i filmed edited and uploaded and we're just seeing this together i'm sitting on my sofa right now probably later on in the evening even though it's 9 9am here now and i'm with my cup of tea and with my dinner and just chatting you guys up on the live chat somewhere around these sides i keep forgetting which side it's gonna be on so don't worry about writing comments to me on the live chat or how is she responding to us while talking because i'm not talking right now i'm just with you guys on the live chat as this is a live premiere if you have any deep questions and really want to get down to informative questions please do it in the comment section below and not in the live chat because the live chat is very limited in the amount of words that i can type in and also if you have video ideas suggestions or things you want me to talk about in my next videos please do it at the comment section below because the live chat is going to poof go away once this live premiere is done we have a long day ahead of us today with a lot of things to cover and i really do think that this is going to be a platform that you enjoy if you are a true artist if you make true art through photography you are going to love fine art america and i've had conversations with people on instagrams with dms that i told like they surfaced a bunch of issues that they currently have with their print of the man and i was like wait for april 2nd because fine art america is going to answer all your questions so i hope that i will get to prove myself to all of you dmrs who wanted to know if fine art america is for you but before we go and upload products onto fine art america there are three things i want you to know the first thing is when you upload your designs onto fine art america there is no deactivating button so for example if i don't want my photography on t-shirts there is no like deactivate the t-shirt and i've seen a lot of people say oh just put it in there they don't have a deactivation option you know just but i don't want to put it in there i don't want my platform to show stuff that don't look good i i want to be i want to take this as an artist page so i actually message them on facebook and they replied really fast to just delete the commission and once you delete the commission for that specific item it just won't appear which is brilliant i don't know how no one thought about this first that just ask them on facebook the second thing that you're about to see is the fact that when i'm uploading stuff onto fine art america i have the option to automatically take that photo and upload it into a group i have created a group called may tribe and i took that from your comments because it was just so cute so if you do go on to fine art america and you decide to take it seriously just take all the photos that you upload and put them marked to appear in my group i will approve them we have a group of discussions we have all kinds of fun stuff and whenever i'm going to be searching to promote other artists on my blogs i'm going to be searching it on my groups first so being on a group is kind of fun so feel free whenever you upload a product onto fine art america to just add it to my group and i will approve you have to be a member first and i'm going to show you how to do that in the screenshot and the third thing you need to know about fine art america is digital streaming yes because fine art america has this collaboration with digital frames to show photographs digital streams and you can get money by opting in on this option i don't think it will be a lot of money it could add up to you know 10 12 a month depends on your photographs and how much photographs you have and how popular they are but i am doing this for all of my products and will show you how to do that as well and enough to chat for now let's go to my computer i'm going to show you how i upload photography which is something that is important for either photographers or painters of any kind who want to take photos of their paintings and upload them i'm going to show you how i do that and i'm also going to show you how i took a design from creative fabrica i would also like to remind you of the video that i posted this morning that created fabrica right now has a special for easter for one dollar one dollar for the monthly all-access subscription that renews for 19 a month this is the best best best offer including the best offer that i'm gonna have for myself which is their easter promotion and you can watch more about that on that video but let's go to my computer and start uploading products on define art america welcome to fine art america and i'm seriously still excited about making this video because this is a really really cool website that has so many kind of things but instead of just showing the platform i can show you all of these by just uploading a photo so i'm gonna go to my account and i've opened this account i think few days ago i don't know how i have four followers or who they are but i've uploaded some photos that i took while staying in bucharest in bangkok some photos that i took here in israel as well as some artistic photos like this one which was actually kind of interesting because i took a flower from my garden and i took a bowl filled it with shampoo made it to bubble and then put the flour on it and it is pretty cool it has canvas prints frame prints art prints metal prints all all the wall art that you basically need phone cases device covers throw pillows tote bags shower curtains and puzzles which for some reasons are not in this scheme but if i go into something like the duvet covers there is a very interesting feature here because as a buyer people can take this image and reduce the size of it by adding a different color of the background or even making it a lot bigger so the buyers still have this amazing access to actually control your items and how they want to customize them in terms of mock-ups their mock-ups are not as unique as the ones that you are used to seeing on redbubble or as extensive but they do have a 3d option which i really like and i'll show it to you on the tote bag because it's really really awesome so let's go into the tote bag and click on 3d and it's creating a 3d model of this tote bag that i can move around and this is something that buyers can do while they're looking at the item but not just buyers because i can take this 3d model click on photo studio and by clicking here it's automatically downloaded to my computer and i can use this photo on my instagram on my pinterest on any other kind of promotion that i want to do and the best part about it is that it has a transparent background so i can basically put it on anything that i want but let's drop that for a second and just go to my profile and see what you can see from your own profile page so if i'm just in my profile i can see all my images which is something that you guys can see as well i can click on collections to see all the collections that i have created which are my random art bodies of water big city life deliciously photographed nature scenes all kinds of that and you could just click here to create a new collection but as you can see here i have a collection with four images that's called ic patterns that doesn't have any image here the reason for that is because you have to do it manually so i can just go into this collection click on edit this collection where i can see the images in my collection and remove them i can see all of my images that are not in this collection and add them or i can go back to images in my collection and decide that i want one of them to be used as a logo here i can write the collection name some description and submit the changes so now that i go to all of my collections this collection would have a featured image now i want to show you two uploading processes so i'm going to go to my images and click on upload image and then choose a file now i've already have some files in my download folder of some interesting photography that i took and did and want to upload so i'm just going to select one of them which is actually a very special photo to me and upload image and i keep telling you guys that with the magic of video editing i can really take this process down and make it faster but i don't know if you can see this in real time the upload is actually extremely fast this photo on society6 would have taken at least two minutes to be uploaded but it's already finished uploading now when we go to our image details we have the artist name which appears automatically and the title i want to call it let's call it flowers in my corner and the medium is photography and now when we want to talk about keywords i'm going to use photography photograph flowers flower photography and this is when the seo video really comes in handy because there are so many ways to talk about this flowers photo flower photos daisy daisies daisy flower yellow flower and you can see here that you have a limit of 500 characters not a limit for tag by the limit per character and i also write down cement construction because this was actually taking i actually took a few daisies and put them in the middle of these bricks and a construction site next to my house which was actually kind of fun to do i'm also going to write down artistic photography and you can feel it later on on the description because it's a photograph i like to write down the story of it so if you're selling photography or you're selling any kind of art that you physically made and photographed just talk about it shortly but just talk about it so i'm just gonna write down while walking around a construction site i took a daisy flower and placed it inside of construction bricks for this artistic photo and the artwork category is photograph you can also choose if it's a painting mixed media you can also photograph your jewelry photograph glass art photography drawings but this is a photograph of a photograph coming up here is display options if i want my art to be watermarked which i personally chose not to have at watermark because i don't like it to be seen on my photos a lot of buyers when they see watermark they actually think that it's gonna come up on the original painting that they order so i chose to reduce it i don't want it to be able to be reviewed in full resolutions because i don't want people to download them and work safe which means people can watch this photo when they're in the workplace so for example no nudity basically mature content so if it's work safe that means it's not mature content and right here i have my galleries or my collections so this is a photo of my daisy flowers it's going to go into my flower collection and i'm thinking maybe into big city life or one of the other categories of nature scenes or my random art and here i have groups which i want to show you because if i click here this is the may tribe art group and you can join i already think i have other two members here we have a discussion page here where you can go in and comment and if i go to images you see all the images that i submitted as well as other people submitted for this group feel free to submit your photos all you have to do is before you upload a new photo to come here and just join the group just go into my profile go into groups and join it i'm going to leave a link down below to the group and to my profile and here i can see the members the images and i can click here on review new images because i have to manually approve them and just approve all of them into the group but let's go back to uploading my new image and click here to have this photo automatically added to the group and now i'm moving down and i see prints and when i'm looking at this page you can click on set default prices to have all of the prices you want for all of your artworks to appear automatically so you just basically set up the margins and this is not a percentage margins these are dollar margins so you can basically decide if you want to showcase all of them or not i've already done this but even if you have done default prices you can still click on something and change it so for example i would like to raise everything in a dollar and there are a lot more sizes for these designs but because my photo is 3024 pixels by 40 32 pixels these are the sizes available the larger the original photo you're going to upload the more options you'll have here and obviously you can even write down twenty dollars if you think that this artwork should be more expensive you know what i'm just gonna vocally upload my prices here i've seen people who take up 50 or 60 margin prices for their art and they can also create coupon codes for that so you can really go nuts with how much you want you can make your art very cheap or very expensive it's up to you here we have the greeting cards and i can also choose a horizontal or vertical alignment of the card not of the photo here i have the pillows and i can play around with this i can minimize the size and choose a background or make it very big and have this photo but i just want to put it in the middle here we have the duvet covers which i will stretch up and see that it fills the entire duvet cover the shower curtain is already ready the tote bag already looks good and with the phone we also have the option to change the alignment of the device on versus the photo as well as move this photo around with the t-shirts you can play around with the size you can't come out of this margin area but i don't like this on t-shirts i don't want photographs on my t-shirts which is why there is no margin if i write down zero this t-shirt is going to be appearing in my shop and cost 18 and i will get zero commission if i write down seven dollars i will get seven dollar commission and if i completely delete it there will be no t-shirts with this design which is what i want again i will show you in a few minutes how to do this with a different type of design with creative fabrica with different kind of cute elements with illustrations so we are going to have t-shirts but personally for my shop i just like to focus on photography our next unique item is a circle beach towel which is super cool and i really do love this idea they also have towels for beach and bath which are more vertically aligned but even here in this case i can choose it to be horizontal and it will take the way i uploaded the photo it doesn't change the alignment of the photo but it changes the alignment of the product which is super cool and i have the same option here with the yoga mats and yes i don't know if you can see it but the yoga mats seem a bit blur but that's because yoga mats have these types of dots on them we have spiral notebooks and here i can also do something like this by minimizing this photo here and choosing a different background color so i can play around with it or just cover the whole notebook all together it's up to you please blankets which again i can choose a horizontal alignment but i kind of like it vertically we have the portable battery charges that also have different alignments the carry-all pouches and for example with the curio pouch i don't have a different alignment because that's how they go so what i'm going to do is i'm going to go to my photos go to my downloads where i save this photo i'm going to take this photo and duplicate it enter rotate it i think i need to wrote it it's more and save it as it is and go here to image and choose a new file and now what i will see here is the exact same photo but horizontally aligned i'll click on upload image and when it uploads this image to this one product every single product that i will visit from now on will have this second option as an option for that product i don't need to do it for each individual product it becomes automatically once i upload it just to one and as you can see it's super fast this was not video edited in any way this is just how long it takes and now the photo appears this way i'll close the customization window i'll see the original photo here but select this one for their weekend tote bags i will also do the same for mugs and stretch it all the way up yes we don't have the pattern option for redbubble some manual work might be included but again i think that's one of the reasons why this platform is spammed less because it's actually for artists i'm going to choose a different one for the tapestry as well and the other one for the face mask they actually have two types of face masks this one and one with black straps and i will show that to you once this product is done we have puzzles which maybe i want a puzzle to be no this is good for me as a puzzle and with the puzzles you can also do something like this and give it edges but i think i prefer to fully cover the photo and we have stickers and the digital streaming option which i will be talking on later on when we get back to me but this is something that you need to do click on set default options it will take you to your setting for markups page scroll all the way down and allow streaming to a canvas digital picture frames we'll talk about this more later on once you have allowed that you still have to manually approve each image and submit that's the entire process of uploading it and it's ready and not only is it ready it's super cute and super beautiful and i really really like it let me just show you the second type of mask we have here because fine art america has two types of masks the black one which is the flat and the plated one which is a bit bigger and again people can play around with the image that they want and actually do it another cool option for people to do like i'm not talking about you guys i'm talking about buyers they can go in to the card here and they can actually start typing a message to my dad and it will appear inside the card that they already get this is a cool option that buyers can do just with fine art america they can personalize this to their needs which is super cool but what i've showed you now is pretty awesome for people who sell photography or for people who photograph their own art like their paintings or their pottery but what about people who just want to design art and for that i'm going to go to create a fabrica because i just purchased their all access subscription easter special for just one dollar for the first month renews for 19 which is the best creative fabrica offer ever so i'm gonna go here and i'm on the pod platform just looking at amazing and creative designs and honestly you know me i don't really like to take print-on-demand ready designs as much but i do want to do it this time because i just want to quickly show you how it can look on other items on this amazing platform of fine art america so what i'm looking at here i really do like this mom life design i want to see if it comes in png because it says sublimation okay so i have png and as you can see here commercial and full pod usage allowed which is what i like to see and i'll go here and let me just have a look at the size of this png because these ones look really awesome i think they would look amazing on t-shirts so let's just download these but in the meantime i also want to find like a nice little pod ready background and i like the watermelon party here i also like this leopard kind of thing so let's go into the leopard i'm gonna leave links down below for these two so you can go ahead and check them out yourselves and this is really nice full pod usage allowed which is what i like to see and i'm going to download this as well let me just unzip both of these and open them up so we have these leopard backgrounds let's just see what the sizes of them are so this one is 3600 by 3600 and let's go and have a look at the other one the mom designs let's just click on one of them and see the size 3000 by 2400 which is super big and super high quality so i'll be going to upload image choose file choose one of the mom life here and just upload the red one now because the photo that i uploaded had no background fine art america is actually giving me background options to create a background myself at least for the products that are wall art i can obviously select the one the white one but let's see if something else is gonna look good i can also choose more colors from the color scheme maybe something like this and i can choose how padded it will be from the up and down and this is just for the wall art or the horizontal padding and i think i like it this way but i do want to change the background color because i'm a perfectionist what can i say so let's choose something like this and submit and again this is real time this was really that fast i'm going to type in mom life i'm not going to really fill this up that much because i'm not having this product in my shop because i only want to have photography this is strictly for you guys so i'm just gonna write down something fast here mom life design and go down choose a gallery or category if you have one choose for this to be in the group and see the options for how it's going to be on wall art look at the greeting card it's too big let me just make it a bit smaller and i want the greeting card to be gray i'm gonna go to the pillow make it smaller make the pillow white i'm gonna go here to the duvet cover make it slightly bigger and make it great yeah green go to the shower curtain make it smaller same goes for the tote bag i really do like that you can design the tote bags that won't be exactly the same as the pillow like on redbubble here on the phone i can choose obviously this alignment because that's how it looks or choose a vertical alignment or if i don't like it all together just delete this and it won't be on a phone it looks really really cool on a t-shirt and this is where you choose the color that the t-shirt is displayed on but people could choose whatever color they want so i'm just gonna type in white and this is one t-shirt for all i'm just gonna quickly type in prices here so you can see the t-shirt in the mock-ups i'm gonna edit this on the circle towel edit it on the beach and bath horizontal towels obviously when you guys are doing it be more creative than me i'm just like kind of autopiloting it right now just to show you the options the notebook would actually be kind of cute this is a cute idea for a notebook fleece blankets the charger is super awesome same goes for the zip pouched and the weekender tote bags on the mug here you might have a problem you can't just move it from the side you can't just take this and move it to the side so it's going to be looking like this or you just need to edit it sort of duplicate this using canva on both sides let's go on to tapestries and go on to masks we can change the puzzle a bit although of course this is not really an interesting puzzle with all the most of the pieces looking the same and the sticker would appear die cut without a background i allow this to be digitally streamed and submit and now we're entering the mock-up phase and if i go and dive deep into one of these and select a different category let's just go and look at this from a different perspective let's go down where i can find this on apparel and i have a men's t-shirt a regular fit t-shirt a woman's v-neck and yes there are no models here the mock-ups are very basic if you are going to use this to sell your t-shirts you're gonna need to use place it to create your mock-ups but they have a lot of different types of t-shirts and they also have different types of colors for their t-shirts so it's kind of nice they have really unique stuff like the short one because redbubble only has something like this with long sleeves and of course they have this for kids and the person can customize the size they want the design to be in this is something actually kind of cool that i really kind of like and i just want to show you like another one i don't even think i'm gonna use canva for this because the photos we got were totally print on demand okay so let's just go back from the mum life and go to the other design that i've uploaded which were all these leopard prints and digital prints with gold and stuff like that and just go into one of them and let's choose the pink and gold leopard one and upload and i've waited 27 seconds for this to be uploaded it looks fantastic just name it as a title again i'm doing this without really looking into keywords and description because i'm not going to have it in my shop pick one of the galleries choose to upload it to my group work on your mock-ups for the prints the greeting cards the pillows and if i go in here to the duvet covers this can actually fill in the whole thing and this was just 3 600 pixels it's amazing and i have the tote bags the phones the t-shirts if you want don't forget to add price if you don't want something don't forget to delete a price the round beach towels just the towels yoga mats notebooks fleas blankets chargers and all the other items including the mugs tapestry is a face mask the puzzle which is now quite interesting and a sticker that was created from the exact shape digital streaming aloud and submit and this is how you upload items to fine art america it's just so easy and it's super fast and i just love them so much this is actually one of the designs that i really like for myself i don't know if you can understand what this is but i live in a farming village and this is actually one of those seeding platter plaques that they have they just put in the seeds so they threw it away so i took a photograph of it and i edit it to be kind of this weird pattern and it just looks super cool on so many other items including their puzzles which are super unique because let's just go into a different kind of puzzle that i have let's just go into my profile and click on shop and here the department would be lifestyle and jigsaw puzzles so i can see all my jigsaw puzzles here and for example if i click on this puzzle which is a photograph i took in haifa of staircases going up one of the mockups is actually the box that people would be getting they will be getting no way but up which is the name of the design by maya maya royal jigsaw puzzle of 500 pieces they also have a thousand pesos which is a bit higher and of course it changes on the mock-up itself let's go back to myself a bit more for another part of this ping-pong between my screen and myself and i'll tell you exactly why on top of what i've showed you now is why i'm taking this platform so seriously and we're back to me what did you guys think isn't it like the easiest upload process ever this was so easy so much fun yes they don't have the amount of products you have on redbubble they don't have those unique furniture items that you find on society6 but they do have items like that portable charger device and the yoga mat and they have all the basic essentials and most importantly they have wall art because they are really really focused on wall art and that's what i love about them they are focused on actually selling art and now for the reason why i'm making this video so vigorously which is why i personally am starting to take this platform more seriously and i have fewer reasons for that one the jigsaw puzzles if you've seen my seo video and seo tools uh i think it was on the 26th of march jigsaw puzzles are kind of a big thing i mean go on to the tools that i showed you there and type in jigsaw puzzles photos and stuff like that they are a huge huge thing and of course fine art america has jigsaw puzzles and if you look at the website tutorial that i showed you on the 29th you could create a whole free wordpress website just to promote your jigsaw puzzles for photos the second reason why i'm taking fine art america very seriously is the fact that they have a free website option which means that everything i just uploaded onto my find out america account is automatically created in a website of my own when we get back to my screen i will show you my own website created automatically by fine art america and pixels and show you how to edit that website and how to change you know areas of things collections artwork how to add your bio and make it more customizable for you the reason why i'm so into this is because if you've been on pinterest or on instagram you know it's really hard to get traffic in it's really hard you have to create beautiful things you have to constantly do it and the fact is that if you have a redbubble store and you promote one of your stickers and people click on it whether it's on instagram or pinterest they go on to redbubble yes they see your sticker but they can just immediately see other people's stickers other people's t-shirts and buy from them so you're basically working this hard to provide traffic to a platform that has two million competitors which is nuts however because they have this option for your own free website on that website there is no one else it's just you and your art so promoting it would be so easier for everyone and this is a very good solution i i know that a lot of people wanted me to make a video about how to create your own artists sort of you know website and i am going to do that there is going to be a full tutorial on how to you know take your own domain your own hosting and build your own website for your print-on-demand or for your artist portfolio but this could be a really quick and easy solution because everything you upload onto fine art america is automatically being transferred there which is brilliant and you're the only person on that website you don't have any competitors or anything so you can feel free to promote it the third reason why i'm taking fine art america so seriously is the fact they cost money yes and this might sound weird like i have to pay them to be on their platform and if you don't think that paying them money is worth it for you guys let me show you how i look at it so i was uploading photos you know i was having fun researching their platform and uploading stuff and i was like hey this is nice you know maybe i'll make a video about you know alternatives for redbubble and and include them and then i'm getting a message saying that i've uploaded 25 photos and if i want to upload more i need to pay the money or delete some of the photos to be able to upload more and i looked into that and that's 30 a year which is not a lot of money including the fact that you get your own free website and unlimited photo uploads but then i was thinking that's the reason why they don't have spam because people who go into these automatic programs and upload 60 redbubble designs per day and just spam the system up won't be the people who would pay 30 a year for fine art america which is why the very first thing i did was pay 30 a year for fine art america and opened a really true artistic profile that i plan on investing my time in with already 50 photos in it and with that being said i'm going to take you to have a look at my website that was automatically created by fine art america and show you how you can edit that website to your liking and make it truly your own this program this platform this print-on-demand supplier actually gives you the option to create your own website and i just want to give you a quick look behind the scenes before we go to it because it's kind of fun so when you go to your profile you have your profile page and behind the scenes and behind the scenes we have you know sign up upload your profile picture create your first product which you if you haven't have done this it would have been marked and you could just click on it and upload your photo and then we have the premium features which i've already skipped a bit down because my credit card information was up top but you can see the difference between a free and premium membership and most of these are basically the same you get the same with premium and free however you can add a shopping cart widget to your own website on shopify or on woocommerce to for people to buy stuff from from find out america only with a premium and create your own website with your own premium account you can also have emails email marketing to send people like your friends and design them with a premium option as well as upload more than 25 images but let's go back to my behind the scenes control panel where you can control your email your default settings your bulk editing of all prices and your passwords and here you have your public profile what people actually see about you your artwork your collection your profile picture if you want to write down your biography and content information and here you have your own website which i already created maya may hyphenate arroyo.pixels.com and this is my own website which we will be talking about in a minute but moving down below i can see all kind of marketing options they have full integration to facebook shops you can check out your analytics and statistics how much people have entered your shop you can join contests which is super cool and see all your sales from your account information and you can also monitor your groups but let's just go to my website for a minute because that's what we're here to talk about today and this website was automatically created for me by fine art america so if i go into it i see a banner here i can see my collections and i can see all my artwork and as you can see i just uploaded these to fine art america and they're already on my website because it integrates automatically you don't upload photos to your own website you upload them to fine art america and they appear here and here we have the bio which i haven't written down yet and that's it that's all you can see in this website you can't see any one of my competitors you can see fine art america logo here it's all me if i go to throw pillows under home decor i will only see my own throw pillows and this is what i want to see an automated print on the man website that is all me and signing into it is pretty simple you just click on sign in as an artist and you log in with your own password and you get to see behind the scenes of this website so i have the control panel for my own and the control panel for my arroyo website and i can go here and choose website appearance under website appearance i can control the colors that i have here and edit them the fonts and general information but how do i control it i can basically scroll down here and see how my website looks and go and maneuver it here by editing it or go to announcement bar and decide if i want to display an announcement bar for example if i'm running a sale the minute i click on no nothing appears if i click on yes you can basically edit this to appear on your website but i don't really want that let's go to header where i have my logo that i chose for myself if you don't have a logo it's just going to write down your name moving on to home page i can decide if i want to have the slideshow which is this one i can decide that i want to have collections artwork and about and i can change the position so basically i can have the artwork appear above my collections i can put the about on me on the first option but i kind of like it that they have the collection first the artwork second and then about me or you know what maybe the about me should be second and the position of the artwork is third the collections could be featured by image only or an image grid and i can also edit the slides how they look on a computer and how they look on a mobile and i mean all three of the slides because i actually chose this image myself by going here clicking on the image and just choosing a different image that i uploaded to be featured here and let me just go back here choose that my about will appear under my collections and my artwork would appear last and apply these changes but what's about my about there is nothing here so i'm just going to go back to fine art america i'm going to go to my public profile because i've already written down my about section and i'm just going to copy all of it here let me see that works best i start by saying you know my personal story about my army and my ptsd and then i talk about you know doing all kinds of things maybe i'll delete this and upload a youtube channel blah blah blah blah blah and then i wrote down and i decided to take a step and present my photographs for sale i hope you enjoy my art as you see it on my website i'm also writing down you can you know visit me on my personal instagram on my professional instagram or visit my youtube channel and let's just supply changes and let's just quickly just go to this page and type in maya may arroyo yes maya is my first name may is my middle name but i go by may and here i can see this and i have the collections but right after the collection i have the about section because i changed it and then i have all my artwork and this was done completely automatically another thing i can do in my dashboard is basically edit the artwork pages if i want to enable comments on them which i do not and apply changes and if i want people to see social share buttons so they can share this on pinterest facebook and twitter i am just in love with this website and that is for a very simple reason is because if i bring traffic onto here people just see my work and i also want to show you the instagram account that i opened just for my photography which is arroyo photography which i'm logged in for my mobile and not from my computer but as you can see i already uploaded a few photos this is a fairly new account i started it i think like two three days ago and also upload stories about how i take my photographs and as you can see here the website is my own website so i'm just sending traffic to myself and feel free to follow this one i'll follow you right back i'm going to leave a link to that down below as well with that being said with my own website made in a click of a button let's go back to me and chat a bit more so i'm kind of speechless i mean i don't know what more i can say so you have a platform that costs a little amount of money per year because you know thirty dollars a year is what three dollars a month so you have a platform that costs very little money per year that makes it reduce the spam level so you actually have art there they give you your own free website and everything that you upload is automatically in their marketplace on your own free website fully integrated with shopify if you just want to open your own store and have it look a bit different what is there more to say i mean this platform really blew me away which is why i'm taking it super seriously and if you do decide to open a fine art america profile please join me tribe a group add your photos and your images to mate tribe group there is no photo limitation onto this group just add whatever you want i'm gonna upload discussions there so if i have any tips or stuff like that it's gonna be on the discussions there and you can also open discussions there and just chat with me on fine art america i also opened a full on instagram just for my fine art america photos which of course you can follow and let me know that you're for my channel so i can follow you back because i'm looking for people to follow back on fine art america on my arroyo photography instagram i would love to hear your thoughts about fine art america i would love to know if you think that this is a platform for you i would love to know if you have the same mindset as me because honestly when i saw that they cost 30 a year i was like yes that's the platform i want i want a platform that people has to commit to that people has this like barrier that will not be spent let me know if you think a similar thing in mind with that being said and let me know if you are going
