Week 4 on Fine Art America Hit 4,000 Pieces and Joined Edit This 65

Hi! I hope everybody has been having a good day!

Knowing full well that I'm sounding like a broken record, I've uploaded 4,000 pieces on Fine Art America! (Yey! and whew!)

The latest collection I've nearly finished uploading is the set, Gold Geometric Glyphs on Dark Teal Blue. Afterwards, I'm slated to ingress botanicals on parchment, which is a set of vintage plant illustrations which have been restored from high resolution scans of original engravings... and... extracted... and laid on a clean (well.. clean-er...) aged paper/ parchment background.. because leaving them on their original paper backing isn't really my jam.

I've also joined a contest! It's "Edit This 65", which is a contest where the organizer challenges participants to go manipulate a rustic vine-y brick cottage. I've done a fantasy themed gilded render. At the risk of sounding needy, please consider looking though the contest entries.. and maybe voting... for one you guys... like... maybe... vote... for... mine... maybe...

It's something fun that I haven't done in a... well never... I have never joined an art contest... like, ever. I am proud though of my render, especially if you go look at the preview at full resolution because I rendered it proofed for pre-press at a high resolution. Abbie (the organizer) said we could sell our entries here, so it's for sale in my Miscellaneous collection on my profile. Please go pixel peep and admire my OC-ness!

Marketing has been a challenge... not the actual marketing per-se, because I've already been doing that for my other platforms.. but more on finding time AND the timing. The ones I've uploaded isn't even 10% of what I have set for my store here and I've already scheduled promotions and posts on my social media channels for the next 7 weeks. (Content schedulers are your friend!)

Do I disrupt my current scheduled posts or do I just wait out the 7 weeks? Adding more posts on top of the one's already slated to run seems... spammy... and will probably piss off my audience (Which isn't big, but the visibility does drive traffic and sales). What to do?

Also is I wonder who's running the web crawler parsing and viewing my work. I don't think they're human...'cause I haven't started promoting yet! (♪♫ Dun.. ♪ dun.. ♪ duuuuuummmm! ♫♪)

Yes, I am aware I ramble when I blog... I type my thoughts chronologically as they come.

Talk to you all soon!
