How Do You Sell Your Art?

These days, especially in an era that relies on the internet because of how it made communication so much easier, you don’t really have to physically get out of your home to drag your stuff and sell them to the public. In this day and age, selling your art is easy to do and can be done in the comforts of your room.

How?

You sell them online.

Here are the websites best for selling art work.

• Artpal
• Artist stop bein poor CLUB
• Singulart
• Displate
• Artfinder
• Azucar Gallery
• Saatchi
• Artsper
• Kite.Ly
• ShairArt
• Art Please
• Jose Gallery
• Indie Walls
• Turning Artist
• Artquid
• U Gallery

Some of them you are free to post and if you are interested, you can also buy some art there. There are literally thousands of art being sold there. The best part about these websites is that they are easy to use because they are TAILOURED to be easy to use. You wouldn’t be stumbling around in the dark so much and buyers will easily find your own art work and buy them from you. That is an easy way to earn money.

Other than that, artists use social media to sell and advertise their stuff. Generic websites like Instagram or Twitter is used here and if you ever want yourself to be just a bit famous, it’s best if you utilise your own social media avatar. Engaging in your followers can go a long way too. These days, I see artists in Pinterest or Tumblr even having fun talking and chatting with some of their followers. Engagement is key when you want to be known, especially in a world that is revolving around the internet.

Interestingly enough, this just doesn’t apply to painters and sculptors. Some people who are trying to make a career of themselves are also relying on social media platforms. It can be anything too. With how the world has evolved and how much weirder we had gotten, you wouldn’t be surprised if there was someone out there who gets paid just for doing your math homework for you.

(Yes, that exists.)

Still, we know that selling art can’t be your main source for a livelihood, especially if you are just starting. But at least it is now easier to get your stuff out there in the world (around the world too, the internet is amazing). You can go to school or have your own daily job WHILE struggling to build up your art career at the same time, no sweat. As long as you know how to manoeuvre your way online and make your products look appealing enough to convince potential buyers, you should be okay. And once you are stable in your career, you can go full time if you wish to do so. Or stay and have your day to day job while still be an artist.
