Thanks for the reply about that, J. I was really waiting to here from someone who’s been there in the featured area. I really think a bigger issue would be marketing strategies to bring potential buyers to your listings instead of being featured. I really do understand valri’s point though that being in the middle or the bottom makes the playing field uneven.
But I think that if I put myself in the buyers shoes, I would not just stop at the first few rows of listings but I would want to search until I find what I’m really looking for. I have seen art that I would want and not want in all areas of the front page. I don’t think I’ll ever understand why selling art works the way it does. Until about a week ago, I was selling fairly consistantly, then for the last week, no sales at all. That’s the thing that’s more perplexing to me than anything else. Anyway, for the last 6 months or more, I’ve been joining facebook groups to try to get more views but really most of the group members are non-buyers and are there for the same reasons I get a lot more views but that’s about it…views, not sales . I wish I can find a site or group that has mostly buyers and not desperate sellers like me.
