15 Ways to Sell Your Art Online

Ways to Sell Art Online

1. Etsy – a community of artists who make hand crafted pieces.  See our post on How to Sell Your Art on Etsy.

2. Adwords – Google’s advertising program.  If you have a website where you sell your work, Adwords is a highly effective way of targeting those looking for art to buy.  If you’d like some tips on how to use Adwords, please contact me directly.

3. Ebay – the world’s largest auction site.  Follow @ebayart on Twitter to get an idea of what kind of art does well on ebay.

4. Amazon – the single largest directory of online stores, Amazon turned itself into one of the world’s largest retailers by creating a platform for anyone to sell anything.  There are literally thousands of stores that use Amazon as their main source of sales.  If you make handmade jewelry, Amazon has a section just for you on their front page.

5. Imagekind.com – high quality printing & framing, community, and marketing tips. See Imagekind Power Selling Tips.

6. Cafepress.com – for designing shirts, other screen printed things

7. Craigslist – in certain cities, people use Craigslist for everything.  In Portland, I have seen everything from couches, to cars, to beautiful pieces of art for sale.  Think of it as the world’s largest classified ad.

8. Artfire.com – a little bit like Etsy, but with a different focus. ArtFire’s Community Directed Development asks their artists to tell them what kind of features and products to build.

9. DailyOriginal.com – feature one piece of art each day on the site.

10. EmptyEasel.com – the most comprehensive guide to selling paintings on the internet.

11. Yessy.com – buy, sell art gallery

12. FineArtAmerica.com – sell prints at any price you want to set

13. Fuelforart.com – a marketing book for artists

14, Foliotwist.com – ready made art websites w/Paypal shopping cart built in

15. Vistaprints - great professional websites that allow you to also sell artwork online w/Paypal

Going Local...right here in little Harrisburg!

Dear Local ARTist,

Come one, come all - young and mature creative folks all makes alike. I'm planning the Harrisburg ARTwalk once again. Kicking it off on August 31, 2013 from 6:00 p.m. til 9:00 p.m. This year I've asked all artists as they register to give $10.00. This money will go toward a scholarship for a lucky senior in high school that wants to further their education. My goal, $500.00. Wouldn't that be awesome to be able to give to a student for their education in the arts? Help me  SUPPORT THE ARTS right here in Harrisburg. For more information you can also follow us on www.facebook.com/HarrisburgARTwalk.

So mark it on your calendar and join us at the local Harrisburg Town Center. Directions through Google Maps. Main & Roberta is the opening for the event, the entrance to Town Center from Roberta, going to Rocky River Coffee Company and Winedown.
