honest, is an EASY sell within the online world…

I have some simple steps for you to sell your Art Online

1) You Need A Home For Your Work

First thing is to create a website for your art work. You will need a place to keep

your work and for online marketing you need a website.

Website allows you to engage with your potential customers and will act like the

most interactive "STUDIO" for your work. Believe me it will help you a lot than an

offline physical Studio.

You can use any platform for this. Most

simple website css is "WORDPRESS". You can create beautiful and interactive

website with the help of wordpress. There are various themes. Mostly are free

but you can choose a tailored one too, depending on your needs and your

interest. Check out my previous post over creating a wordpress website. There

you will get all the information about wordpress. Why you should choose it?

What are the benefits?

I hope you got your website now!! Once it is done you have a place to update

your stuffs online for the number of potential customers across the world.

2) Getting Exposure To Your Work

It doesn't matter how creative your art is, how much time you have devoted to it,

how rare it is. If you don’t have visitors to your website, your work means nothing

to the world. In other words, without traffic (people), you have no business. You

are in no better position than you are now and that is why the very first thing you

should do after you have your website is get yourself training on how to get

traffic within the online world.

How to get traffic to your website?

Traffic is the main card of this game. Everything depends on getting traffic.

a) Keep your ART WORK fresh with latest stuffs.

b) Promote yourself to the social media platforms.

c) Provide links towards your website or particular ART PIECE.

d) Get new fans and followers of your business through twitter and facebook.

e) Have your website listed to the various local and international directories like

yelp, angie’s list e.t.c.

Working over these things will definitely get your traffic hence you will get sales

and potential customers.
