Please note: We recommend using a laptop/PC/Mac when first setting up your gallery and adding larger Collections etc. It's simpler. You can use your mobile for anything else.
1. Complete Your Profile

Why it matters: Your profile is the first thing collectors will see. Make sure to fill out your About section and add a featured image on your homepage. This helps create a strong first impression.

How to do it: Go to the Dashboard and navigate to the Home section in the left hand menu. Upload a high-quality image, complete your bio, and link your social media accounts.

2. Add and Organise Your Artworks

Why it matters: Properly organising your artworks makes it easier for collectors to browse and appreciate your work.

How to do it: Use the 'Add Art' feature in your Dashboard to upload high-resolution images. We always recommend adding at least five to fully share your artistic viewpoint. Then group your artworks (using Collections) into series by theme, medium, or project to enhance discoverability.

3. Set Up Payments with Stripe

Why it matters: Ensuring your payment system is set up correctly allows you to receive payments quickly and securely.

How to do it: Connect your existing Stripe account or set one up via the Selling tab in the Dashboard. Choose your currency, verify your details, and set prices for your artworks.

4. Craft Compelling Descriptions

Why it matters: Descriptions add context to your artworks and help collectors understand the story behind each piece.

How to do it: Write engaging descriptions that highlight your inspiration and technique. Use LettsArt’s AI tools to generate tags and descriptions if needed.

5. Regularly Update and Promote Series

Why it matters: Collections help to group your artworks into series, making it easier for collectors to find what they are looking for.

How to do it: Regularly update your Collections with new works and share them on social media to keep your gallery dynamic and engaging.

6. Leverage the Post System

Why it matters: Posts allow you to engage with your audience, share updates, and drive traffic to your gallery.

How to do it: Use the Posts tab to create and share content like studio updates, behind-the-scenes glimpses, or new collections. Posts can also be sent as newsletters to your email list.

7. Engage with Your Audience

Why it matters: Building relationships with your audience can turn viewers into loyal collectors.

How to do it: Regularly respond to comments and messages, and consider running promotions or contests to increase engagement. Set up an email distribution list: navigate to the Collectors options in the left hand menu, then send out posts as newsletters.

8. Optimise Your Gallery for Search

Why it matters: Optimising your gallery helps you reach a broader audience through search engines.

How to do it: Use relevant keywords in your artwork titles, descriptions, tags and series names. This will improve your gallery's visibility online.

9. Promote Your Gallery on Social Media

Why it matters: Social media is a powerful tool to attract traffic to your LettsArt gallery. Use your LettsArt gallery as your dedicated art website (it has everything you need!) or, if you prefer, as the “Gallery tab” on an existing site.

How to do it: Share your LettsArt URL, new posts, and updates across your social media platforms. Use hashtags to reach a wider audience.

10. Be Patient and Persistent

Why it matters: Building an online presence and attracting collectors takes time, but consistency pays off.

How to do it: Keep your gallery updated, engage regularly with your audience, and stay active on social media. Over time, your efforts will help you build a thriving community of collectors.
