Lesson 3 – It’s time to UPLOAD!


Previously, we talked about the kind of content you can upload. Now let’s upload some awesome artwork!

Log on to PrintOctopus, and go to your Artist Account. Click on Manage Portfolio, and ‘Add Artwork’.

 

A pop-up like will appear.

Step 1 : Upload your file

Step 2 : Choose the type of Art

Step 3 : Add Title

Remember, good titles serve a dual purpose. It makes it easier for the customers to find your artworks, and helps you rank better on search engines for organic traffic. Include relevant collections, characters, TV shows, movies or themes.

Step 4 : Tags

 

 

Tags helps describe an item and allows it to be found by search. Tags are super important for you and your designs to gain visibility and popularity on PrintOctopus!

You are free to enter up to 15 tags for each artwork that you upload on our portal. But if you can only think of 2 tags for your design, add only 2! Adding unnecessary or irrelevant tags just to take the number up can result in spam and cause your design to show up inappropriately.

 

 

FOR EXAMPLE


For this artwork I can add the following tags based on the categories

Subject of the design – hulk, superhero, hero

How did you create your design – illustration, silhouett

Topic or theme of the design – Movies & TV, comics,  art & design

Primary colors and patterns of the design – green, black

 

Step 5 : Select Genres

Select 5 most relevant genres for your artwork, and they will appear in those collections on the website.

 

Step 6 : Select products & royalty

Select the products you want the art to be available and your choice of royalty for each product.

Viola, it’s done! Your art will now be submitted for review, and will become live within 4-5 days.
