Bear in mind that; if done the right way you can earn thousands of dollars just from selling your own art.
In this article; We will look in to some of the most important things to consider to get one started.
Getting Started
The first is to get off your chair and get started. Some people think that they will get started when they really know that they are perfectly fit to start. They think that they will learn everything all over sudden. Others think that the best time to get started is when one will get hired and be told that their work is excellent and recommended. One need to have the mindset and take this very first and long step. Each and every single person has a starting ground but though some people may have some vivid ideas of what they want in their plans; you may not have the idea on what you will be doing to get where you want but the best part is that, you have got the talent which will be the driving vehicle to your destination. No one may know whether he/she will even make the first art sale. No one that’s so confident. Everyone just get better by trials and errors. You won’t if you never get started.
Marketing Art Through Social Media
The second step is setting up your art on social media platforms.
This art marketing strategy is hundred percent free and this is the first step of getting art sales online. All you need to do is to start growing your social media audience and these are the most preferred social media platforms: Youtube, Tiktok and Instagram. Even if one has a very small audience in these platforms; one can still make money from them but it takes time and a lot of hard work.
Getting Audience for Your Art
The next places one can get art audience and customers are trade shows and conventions. Most of artists get their art sales from people they met and developed relationships with.
Selling Art Online Through E-commerce Platforms
The third step to selling your art online is free and premium e-commerce platform or you can setup one for your own art business. But for beginners it advisable to use third party platforms such as
shopify
or
Ebay.
When you are first starting to selling your art online; it is advisable to choose some affordable and free stores such as Etsy
Storenvy
or
Deviant art.
The reason for starting up with the free services is because when you are a beginner; it is really very hard to get you first sale and especially when you have very little audience and do not have any means to drive any significant traffic on your store.
So; when you are just starting to sell you art online, make sure to keep your business expenditure as lean as possible; so as to give yourself room to grow and create your customer base. Once you have established a considerable amount of audience and people keeps coming back to your online art store or on your social media platforms. Then I can recommend moving over to ecommerce stores such as Shopify or Ebay or even starting your own e-commerce store from a web-designer.

Production of Art
The next step is knowing how you are going to create or produce your art and meet your art demand. If you have absolutely no money to invest in making your art; I would recommend print on demand services like Printify etc.
These services sell your art inform of art prints for you; so you do not have to worry about keeping inventory and you do not have to invest by making the art prints that you do not know whether you will get the customer. If you would like to make the print for yourself; all you need is to locate for a locally best printing service near you. You can also start transferring your art on surfaces like fabric eg. Tshirts, caps or even ceramics by means of heat transfer method known as sublimation. All you have to do is locate sublimation printing services near you or order a heatpress printing machine for yourself.
Shipping and Packaging
The next step that you may need to consider is packaging and the shipping of your art products. But if you are using a print on demand service; you do not have to worry because the print on demand company will handle the shipping on your behalf. But if you are selling art that you have created; shipping can be very confusing task. For starters; it is recommended to use light weight shipping supplies from your local supply store and a shipping company near you like the postal corporation for the delivery of you art products.
