How to Sell Your Art Work Online. Part II.

In our first part of this article (How to Sell Your Art Works Online) we have stopped on the very moment how to find the best place to sell your art works. Where will you have more chance to sell your art work: in a huge art recourse, or in a small art gallery… We have told about the pluses and minuses of big art recourses. So it is time to stop on the middle size art web site, but good promoted of course.

So what are the positive moments of putting your art works for sale on the middle size art gallery (art gallery, not art recourse!). Well, first of all you will need to know that this site is good promoted. And you can see it easily if it pops up in the first or second page of your search. Then after it, you will need to see how many artists are there. You need to contact the administration and find out how long does it take to get the answer on your questions. It is ok if you need to pay some small some as administrations costs for putting your profile on this site. But this administrations costs or how they used to call it different kinds of memberships must not be too high. If the membership is high, so you can see that this gallery is not interested in selling your art works, it takes money from the artists only and lives on it. Well it is a good way of making money but this place is not right for the artists that want to sell their art works in this place.

Next step is to make your profile, to upload or create your page. Well, besides the personal info that you will need to put it , please do not forget and your art bio: exhibitions, art shows and other activity that you took part in or you have subscribed already and will take part in. Do not be shy, your admires need to know more about you! Sometimes, it is very interesting for the buyer who is the artist, where he was born and where he lives. So do nor make your admires wait, just put this information in your profile right away.

And then most important moment: you need to upload the images of your art works. Image is the main thing here. The first thing that you sell is Image ad then art work…… It is the first thing that attract attention of potential buyers. Image must be a good quality, not big size ( for making free prints) , not very heavy , but just a good quality, So buyers could see the details of your art works, its small parts. If you do not a professional camera, you will need to ask for it. Go to photo studio and make a good images of your paintings. Do not save on it. It is the first and the most important step in successful selling of your art works on line. All the images must be cut carefully and believe me that this good quality image will bring you a lot of money!
