Resources for Artists
Sharon July 30th, 2010
Like many artists I promote my work online through my own web sites but that isn’t the only way to get the art to the public. There are hundreds of opportunities for artists to exhibit and sell their work on the Internet. I know some artists who sell on Ebay but that can be daunting and not necessarily profitable. Personally I do sell art from my web sites as well as reproductions through Imagekind.com and greeting cards through Greeting Card Universe. Small originals are available through ArtFire.com. Many of these sites offer limited use without a fee but others cost a monthly membership.
No matter how you choose to show and sell your art on the Internet, you will need to be consistent and keep adding new work as well as promoting what you have. It is not always easy to find the time to put in the necessary effort to make a profit. If you know how to resize images and can upload them from your computer, you can do it though, and for little or no expense, it is worth giving it a try.
