How to Sell Your Art Online – Key To Success
Have you ever heard the famous quote?
“Give a man a fish, he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish, he will eat for
lifetime.” And that is exactly what I am going to talk about in this post.
In this post I would teach you how to reap money from selling your art piece to
the international market. Internet is the best way to market your stuffs as it has
global presence. Even it is increasing to the remote areas of the world. Bingo you
have the option for globalization here. I am going to be completely honest with
you… I don’t know how to draw.
But, what I do know is how to
SELL ART STUFF ONLINE. I have been doing this for my folks in the art business. I
can tell exactly what is to be needed for selling your stuffs online. Art, to be
honest, is an EASY sell within the online world…
It is really easy than the offline studio. Visitors to the studio are very much in the
mood of looking the beauty of art piece rather than interested in purchasing it.
Don't forget the commissions of art gallery. To maximize your profit you have to
cut down your cost, a simple formula of higher earnings. So online selling cuts the
middle man (ART STUDIO) hence resulting in more earnings.
Surfing internet can get you many ides too. Some really good but most of them
are junk, not more than a garbage bin. I am here to show you how to make
potential earnings by selling your art work online. Everybody has his masterpiece,
what he actually needs is the potential buyer, a person who respect his ART work
and can pay for his masterpiece.
Remember the quote I told you earlier. Yeah I am not going to sell for you
rather than I will teach you how to do this.
Stay connected as I revile you the key to success in selling your ART WORK
ONLINE...
Sample of fine art website
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.
