Setting up your profile or portfolio
The first thing you should do is setup your artist or commissioner profile. On our platform we give different rewards and prize badges to both artists and commissioners. So it is important that you setup your profile accordingly. If you are both, artist and a commissioner then state that in your profile.
Now view your dashboard and take note of all the available options. From your “Buyer dashboard” you can see your Active projects, Proposals, Ongoing projects and complete projects. You can also see analytics – see how many views your profile and your projects has received.
After switching to seller mode – by pressing the “Switch To Selling” button at the top right, you can see your Seller dashboard. This dashboard shows Active services, Ongoing Services and Complete services. “Services” stands for your Open commissions.
Remember that You can only switch to selling mode in a desktop browser, it is currently not possible to switch in mobile view. You can either use a laptop and computer to switch, or you can open the desktop site from your smartphone.
Artist’s dashboards and commissioners dashboards are slightly different. See the differences here. The best thing about Anime Highway is that you can completely different Commissioner profile and Artist profile. You can maintain both profiles if you are both an and a commissioner, or you can maintain a single profile as needed.
