Improved Commission Payment Methods

We have just made several big changes to the way we pay commissions to our members when you sell artwork on our site. You have been asking for it, and we made it happen...

1) MONTHLY PAYMENTS ON ALL PROGRAMS

We will now be paying our members each month for any commissions they are due, instead of waiting a few months like we have done in the past. No matter if you have earned money with our print program, website referral program, ArtCardsWanted.com ACEO sales or original artwork sales, we will now be making payments to you every month without fail.

2) FASTER PAYMENTS

Not only are we now making payments each month, but we have changed the date we send out checks from the 15th down to the 10th. This means that you will get your payment 5 days sooner then before.

3) NOW PAYING THROUGH PAYPAL

For those of you that have a PayPal.com account, we can now pay you directly through PayPal instead of cutting a check to you. This means you will be paid faster than before and not have to go to the bank to cash a check. To enable this option, simply go to your EDIT CONTACT INFO section and add your PayPal e-mail address in the new field we added to this page. If we see you have a PayPal e-mail address in our system, then we will be making all artist commission payments directly through PayPal.

4) UPCOMING CHANGES

We're not done yet! Within the next month, we will have some additional upgrades done to our site that have been requested from our members. Here is a quick peek at these new upgrades:

For Sale Options on Upload - When you upload a new image to our site, you will be able to put in the 'for sale' price/description on the same screen that you upload your artwork from.
Original Artwork Sales Report - We will now be showing you a report of any sales you have made on our site, that you can check at anytime.
Global Sales Report - This will show you all of the sales you have generated from any program within ArtWanted.com.
Sale Confirmation Screen - When you get a sale, we will have you confirm the sale from the members area, in addition to getting sent an e-mail.

We hope that you are excited about these new changes to our site. One of our big goals is to help you earn more money through ArtWanted.com - We encourage you to check out all four programs we have to help you do this...

Can I suggest here? Oh, I will anyway! I think that artwork should have the option to offer up to 3 other views of it, framed, detail etc. Without having to make a new image. So you have a crop tool within the web page.

Also. I would like to see exactly the split of visitors with potential to purchase and those from within this site. ie...if I have 500 visitors, how many of them are artists from here and how many might be outsiders looking to buy art.

Thanks for your suggestion, we always welcome ways that we can improve and make our site better.

As for the visitor breakdown, currently 70% of all traffic to our site is from non-members of our site (potential buyers or just art enthusiasts). The other 30% of our traffic is from the members of ArtWanted.com.

I have enjoyed being part of the Artwanted community, and it is good to see that it is one where the members can expect an on-going progressive effort to expand their avenues for marketing and show-casing their work. The new product list and payment schedule will certainly help make this a great place to be part of.

Thank you, Steve A Robert
