How to sell prints online as a creator | Full Pic Time tutorial

[@KianaGovind]

Everything about this video is incredible. Sound, sight, production, content. 10/10!!! Thank you!!!!

[@KianaGovind]

I do have a follow up question - as far as the companies Pic Time uses to print - do you have suggestions? I don't know which one to choose. SOS!

[@tilldaling]

Hej Kiana :) It depends much on where you are situated. For me with mainly European market it was either Flori Color or Loxley Colour, these were the only ones that offer everything that I wanted to sell :) So I guess fewer suppliers could be fewer chaos :)

[@tba96744]

Thank you so much for making a true description and tutorial of what Pic-Time is and how to use it. I’ve been in the market for a while about finding a good all around site to sell my work on. I really really appreciate what you did with this video... Side note I will defiantly be picking up some of your work. Gotta have something nice and relaxing and cold looking out here in Hawaii! 🤙🏽

[@tilldaling]

Hej Ben, that is just awesome! Pic-Time made many things much easier, so I'm glad it's getting you into selling as well! It would be awesome if you find a print that you enjoy, winter here is something special :)

[@Jude2408]

First time I’ve found a straightforward explanation of setting up the Arya gallery. I’ve wasted so much time! Thank you.

[@tilldaling]

I'm really glad that it helped you a little 😊

[@lauredussuet]

love your style! thank you for sharing, it was very insightful to me

[@tilldaling]

I am glad it helped you :)

[@iseaoceane]

aw I stumbled across your page randomly (this is my first video I've seen of you) and wow im so happy I found your channel ! You have the same outlook on life than me and same with income ! love it, so humble

[@tilldaling]

I’m glad you did! :) I’d just took me a bit with the reply 🙈 hopefully, you still enjoy it here ☺️

[@_juanchamorro]

This is exactly what I was looking for! I have used PicTime for a while and had no idea about Art Galleries lol thank you!

[@tilldaling]

I’m glad you do now! They are very much useful. Gonna do a marketing vid on that soon too hopefully ☺️

That's what I thought back then as well :D Feel free to use the code in the description if you'd like to support the channel (and I think, get a month for free) :)

@@tilldaling Awesome. Thanks a ton. Have a great evening.

[@HawthorneLilyCreative]

Thanks alot Till. I "think" I'm all setup. Lots to learn on Pic-Time but I like the way it looks. Not as easy at first but I think it's just a matter of spending a little more time with it. Love your dog!

[@tilldaling]

Definitely, things come way more intuitively after a short while! :) Yuki says hi 🐺

[@brandonshootsvideoproducti5714]

@@tilldaling Awesome. Wdup Yuki!

[@just_norma7]

Thank you Till!!! I recently discovered Pic-Time Art and I love it but I couldn't get my head around assigning the price list to each gallery. I was ready to give up until I watched your video. It is succinct and extremely helpful! 🙏🏻☺️

[@tilldaling]

Definitely nothing to thank for! I'm glad that this kept you going and hope your shop will be doing well in future :) :)

[@srinikethan2051]

So good till, this is so informative❤️

[@tilldaling]

Thanks a lot, I hope it's enough to get started :)

[@thomassorensen9749]

excellent work, clearly explained and loving Yuki!

[@tilldaling]

I'll let him know that he is a good boy! And there are very soon two more pic-time videos coming :)

[@thomassorensen9749]

@@tilldaling look forward to them!

[@tilldaling]

Loooong video but I hope it has all to help you get going with selling your prints! And make sure to drop by the shop :)

[@Derrickcrocker]

Am I able to sell digital downloads as well?

[@aa_gg]

Thanks! Now I can ship my drawings worldwide...

[@tilldaling]

And work from anywhere :)

[@annettesolis]

Thank you! Nice video as I am looking for a service just like this. Nicely done and Yuki is too much 🤗

[@tilldaling]

I'm glad that this video could help a little, Annette :) And yes, that fluffy guy can have his very own head :D

[@teubma]

Amazing video thanks man

[@tilldaling]

I'm glad you liked it ☺️

[@justalexhimself]

enjoying this content man. Keep it up!

[@tilldaling]

I’m glad you do, did you give pic-time a try? :)

[@justalexhimself]

@@tilldaling no, I need to move to North Norway first to get some nice photos that will be worthy of selling ;)

[@dvnielcontreras]

Awesome vid! and Informational! I'm curious, how's the quality of the prints?

[@tilldaling]

I found the trial orders to be of great quality :) But you might need to check it out yourself to be 100% sure :)

[@matthoffman6962]

So here’s the biggest thing with pic time. It’s the shipping. Shipping a 5x7 is about $10 cdn. To ship a calendar it’s $14.99 cdn. How can you sell a calendar for $30 +14.99. No one will buy it.

[@tilldaling]

I fully agree that the shipping can be a bit tricky! I experienced that myself if geographically it's not matching the producer. Thought about writing a mail for an automation of choosing the cheapest producer based on the country location :) Let's see how that goes :)

[@DanielBryn]

Good info here Till! been looking for something like this. Big question though... Do you get any traction selling your prints, and how do you go about marketing it?

[@tilldaling]

It's more about reaching back to people you worked with in the beginning (probably also with the client galleries) they should be the first movers. As soon as that covers the cost then the one or other IG sale will come :) But of course only the future will tell...

[@JerryC25]

Thanks for this. What are you saving the files at in Lightroom? 300 dpi I’m sure. But anything else specific?

[@tilldaling]

Just that and obviously max quality. As we are not know which product it ends up with (if you offer different ones), I'm not sharpening it. If you know you might only want matt or glossy paper, you decide that upfront :)

[@DMR_CreativeRelaxation]

It's frustrating they wouldn't just add all the options to the add to cart menu as buyers should be able to check out all options before making a purchase.. Not to mention their pull down of that tab looks overwhelming. When they should just break it down by type Ie :Canvas,Metal then show the sizes and prices/. But other than that it looks like a good site especially with website integration.

[@malc.malc510]

dope vid, thanks bro!

[@tilldaling]

I hope it helped you to get started :)

[@RobArnoldRWAFilm]

Great Video thanks for sharing. I am curious, why did you pick Pic-time VS Fine Art America?

[@tilldaling]

I feel like that might be a bit like and android/apple question. I do really enjoy the interface pic time has. But at the time I started with pic-time, I also did not know about fine art america to be fair :)

[@beni4753]

Hey Till, any recommendations on which fulfiller / printer to use? Im based in Germany and want to focus on framed prints and fine art prints

[@tilldaling]

If most customers are in the the EU, I do like floricolour :) That's been the most affordable.

[@laiacreative2950]

Thanks a lot for this video! I have a question, how did you upload your photos on Pic-Time? On RGB or CMYK? They need to be printed but also displayed online. Thanks

[@tilldaling]

I have been also asking that myself but in their service they do recommend RGB, so I stuck with that :)

[@GrimTactics6226]

sweet this is exactly what I was looking for thank you both haha

[@fadiheterjag]

I wonder how this works for clients that are international. I noticed that in setting up the products you are choosing a specific print shop, which is possibly not based in the same country as your client. Is everything printed in the US and then shipped around the world?

[@tilldaling]

Yes, it’s how I understand it. Not optimal but for now, geographical production based on the order location isn’t an option… (that’s how I understood it)

[@horizoneyeproject]

How do i go back to choosing my product variants?

[@stephanocost9165]

Thanks Till! Great video! Any marketing tips for someone that is coming from little to no social media presence? Photography has been a hobby for me, and I'm thinking of taking it more seriously to generate passive income.

[@tilldaling]

Hey Stephano, I'm actually planning a full marketing video for the art galleries :) I can't promise anything but I might have the time to do it within the next month :)

[@ocubextra]

Time for a walk bro.... lol, cute dog. Is there a way to know if a lab is having a sale or does it always default to the lab's list price?

[@tilldaling]

With Malamutes, it's always time for a walk :D I would't think there is a way that atm as you are choosing the lab you are working with for each product. It's just about checking back in. For me it's more a problem with differences in shipping cost. So I'm considering making one europe and one US store ):

[@simplyserge144]

Brother, the depth of field is crazy! What lens are you using?

[@tilldaling]

Sigma 35 1.2 will Butter it out!

[@jayymorris5285]

Okay so I know that when CLIENTS receive their photos they have access to the store and such, but how do I allow just anyone (via link from my website) to enter my Pic time store and make those same purchases. And how do I control which photos they are allowed to print?

[@tilldaling]

Hej Jayy, I'm sorry but I'm not a heavy user of the client galleries. But pic-time has a great 24/7 chat :)

[@jayymorris5285]

@@tilldaling Thank you! I pretty much figured it out haha thank you

[@bigfishboogyman]

Thanks for the very informative video. Question - Are you able to sign your work and copyright it or do you do that before you submit the photos to Pictime? How does that work?

[@tilldaling]

Hey Autumn :) unless you would like to handle printing and shipping yourself, I guess it would have to be done before submission :)

[@yeetiesandwheaties]

What I've not been able to find for certain: Is Pic-time only a selling service? Or is it also used for displaying your portfolio to prospective clients? Also, does this provide a domain? Or is it their domain + your name

[@tilldaling]

Hej mate, I'm also using it as a portfolio :) The domain will also be like tilldaling.pic-time.com/art, so if you don't mind to send that URL to your clients, you're good to go. I also embedded it in my website tho, www.tilldaling.com/prints/#!/art?headless=true

[@animeshekka8206]

Image resolution should be more than 4MP ???

[@tilldaling]

Well, for a greeting card that might be enough :)

[@Vejur9000]

Hang on... Is Pic-time only for wedding and portrait photography? This is the big question.

[@tilldaling]

And the big answer is no ;) Client galleries for everything commercial, art galleries for everything creative. In any regard, I guess weddings are great to have for that service but I don't shoot any :)

[@stalker1567]

Weldone bud.

[@tilldaling]

Cheers mate!

[@alyssehernandez8756]

Does pic-time provide the frames, prints, calendars, etc?

[@tilldaling]

Well yes, indirectly. They provide the lab that does the job for you :)

[@IanInChengdu]

Did you sell any?

[@OpenSourceCitizen]

Anybody know the best way to automate sending them more images gradually like monthly or weekly? Just for free. So when i cull the original shoot for the images i am going to show them immediately i can set aside a batch to send them a few at a time automated over say a year or two?
