Questions about commissions/Iron Artist
15 years ago
Since yesterday, my queue for commissions is exactly zero. I've actually been really bad at soliciting more than one or two people at a time in the past. Maybe it's my style or my not engaging the social aspect of FA very broadly. Whatever my shortcomings, I need to pay the darned rent.
I'm wondering how one sets up an iron artist challenge. I'm up to the task, but I'm almost certain I would only generate interest from two or three people, not the whole 100. Has anyone out there completed a challenge? How did you attract participants? I'm willing to lower my prices, streamline my process and maybe take out a frontpage ad. What else could I do to reel people in?

FA+

so far ever since i started the iron artist, i been able to generate only quite a few numbers for the whole year { just a few customers who return rather than a lot of different people ]. I think what you are willing to draw and not draw also affect who wants to get from you. i noticed that since i placed my rules up, and hardly i think its the price since currently i'm charging only $5 for mine, and i have seen others pay for way more.
but in any event i hope things go well for you sir since your stuff is amazing,, and if you go for the 100 iron artist challenge, i sure hope you get a lot of orders! :)
If you want to attract the masses, you're going to have to filthy it up a bit :P
That being said, I did consider a commission, but money is getting scarce, I've burned through $2000 of my savings to suppliment what meager hours I'm receiving. Still, I'm trying to think up something that I'd like to see, I'll let you know if I come up with something.
