In this day and age instead of carrying around a portfolio
of work, artists are posting online, creating websites, and using social media.
If you are interested in selling your work online here are a few great websites
to get started.
Rebubble
Great website to create a
portfolio and sell your work. This website allows you to sell your work as prints, canvas prints, t-shirts, iphone cases and ipad cases. While also
functioning as a great artist community, by being able to submit work to online groups, and receive comments from other members. However, when you sell work on Redbubble, they will take a commission for every product you sell. All products start at a base price, and you control the percentage
you make by raising the price of the product.
Saatchi Online
Sattachi is a great place to
sell work online in a fine art setting. Work can be sold in print or as the
original piece, and are sold at a great price. However Saatchi also takes a
commission and you have to include it in your taxes? But it is a great way to
get your work out to potential buyers and clients that are looking for original
work.
Etsy
Recently, Etsy has been really growing in popularity, but I would only recommend it if you are willing to do
all of the work yourself! Including matting, framing, and shipping! As an art student I don’t have the time or the money to
sell my work on Etsy, but a lot of people have had success on this site!
Zazzle
Another great place to sell
work is Zazzle, where you can upload designs and sell them in a variety of cool
ways, from t-shirts to lunch boxes! They
have great products and for an affordable price. However, they will also take a
commission.
If you're looking to sell work online there are many
websites to chose from, it’s all about finding the right one for you. And if you have any other suggestions please comment!
