Hi Rick, thank you so much! :-) That's great, yes FAA will help you sell to both the US and UK so it will work well for you! I will announce here on RUclips when the course is ready. :-)
Just clarifying... Does that mean if you dont live in America you are limited in the products you can offer, or does it just mean shipping would be more if it has to be from America. I live in Australia and there isn't a lot of products offered for the Australian distribution centre. If someone in Australia, for example, ordered a tote bag would it not be available or would it still get shipped from America?
Hi Joanna, those are great questions! If you are an artist on FAA and don't live in America, there is good news! You can still offer all products on your website, because you can sell them to people in the US or other countries where those products are available. If someone from Australia ordered a tote bag, the Australian fulfillment center would not have it available. But on the FAA website it says this: Each manufacturing center can ship products to any destination in the world. So maybe there is a chance you could get a tote bag delivered to Australia from a center outside of Australia. That would increase shipping costs. You can do a test and find out - go to any artist on FAA and place a test order (without fully checking out) for a tote bag and see if it can be shipped to you.
My wife has had a shop on FAA for over a year (maybe 2) and has only sold 4 items because it was to her family. FAA has too much competition (too many artist). The shipping is also ridiculously expensive, we live in Denver Colorado.
Hi Jeffrey, yes there is a lot of competition on FAA. When I started in 2015 there were around 500,000 other artists on FAA, now there are over a million. I had a slow start on FAA and my first sale was to my best friend. It took me a little time to start selling to strangers. But what made a huge difference was to drive traffic to my FAA site from social media. I get 80% of my sales from that, and regularly sell now. When you get sales your images move higher in the search, and it becomes easier to get sales from the search. I am teaching artists how to boost their sales on FAA, and they are selling much faster than I did when I started, getting 7-30 sales in a month after taking my course. Your wife is welcome to join us. I would be happy to help! You can learn about the course here: www.lieslwalshphotos.com/selling-photos-online-how-i-broke-the-code Yes, the shipping charges for some items can be high. Shipping cost can vary depending on the region, shipping carrier and type of shipping. Prints that are over 40 inches tend to have a higher shipping cost because of the size and weight, and extra packaging is needed to protect the art. FAA made a statement that the shipping companies set the shipping price (not FAA). FAA has a fulfillment center in Denver, Colorado, so they are very close to you.

Let me know in the comments if there is something you want to learn about Fine Art America and I can add that to my future course! :-)
Thank you so much for posting! I'm a new FAA subscriber and want to learn as much as possible! 🎉 👏
You're welcome! I will be making more videos about FAA so stay tuned! :-) You will love FAA, it is a wonderful platform to sell your art!
Hi Liesl, So looking forward to that course as I have possible customers in the US and the UK.
