Comment from : @GalacticImagination

Now tell us HOW actually TO SELL! brBlah blah blah… I had my own website for 3 years and sold nothing! But I paid every month $30 for running my website Nowadays before you sell your original art you have go looong way to become known and famous And there are a lot of different ways to get to that point

I don't know how to turn my traditional drawings into digital prints I want to sell my art online, but there's no one to guide me I tried figuring it out on my own, but it feels risky and overwhelming 😭 By the way, I'm from India Can anyone help me with this?
Comment from : @Swati_Malik

Wow these artists in the comments are rubbed the wrong way about not using Etsy, but everything you said is 100 true

I had a professional website for 3 years now, and no one comes to it I saw Muata Von Kindy on a youtube video called Spectrum Miami 2024 She dosent have a website, but she has a Saatchi profile and only three painting, and 2 are sold for $1,970 How do explain that?
Comment from : @fireproofart5526

Comment from : @jamesskinnercouk

Great advices ❤

Thank you Very good video !
Comment from : @xTruthCrusade

I've been going hard at this for nearly two years, on every platform from Saatchi to having my own website, getting representation at three different galleries, getting wonderful written reviews and tons of compliments, awards, etc But in the end, I have had only two small sales which barely covers the cost of one canvas Marketing on your own is (sorry for my French) F*cking impossible I know artists with social media followings in the hundreds of thousands and even they complain that marketing on your own hardly works at all So although this video may try to be helpful, it is not There is no formula, there is no guarantee, there is no proven way to be successful unless you get lucky or sell nudes I love painting more than life itself, but selling it is an absolute mystery I'm tired of being lectured when none of these 'techniques' work
Comment from : @frostbittenarts

Soooo how do we market our art? What do we actually do??😊😊
Comment from : @RAE-homely-fairy-of-the-light

After watching this video, I prefer to loathe third party platforms I like galleries, but I like to sell directly to potential clients I need money to finance my art business as well as survive
Comment from : @paulorta8621

Its a decision of being an artist or salesman Getting traffic and trying to reach more clients are harder than making arts and boring Sales requires efforts and effort is rewarded In that point reward is etsy commisions I do both for 2 years and still etsy make sales more than myself Only if you have great social media network on instagram or facebook or youtube Yes you are right, self selling is better
Comment from : @plans_for_woodworkers

100 of zero is zero On top of that, instead of an artist you become a business, admin, sales and marketing person Burnout is just around the corner if you're built to be an artist, not all that
Comment from : @karuzelastudio7858

Millions thanks ❤
Comment from : @hodajrab9428

I notice that some really good representational art artists focus on their branding more than their product They market through all the platforms and also offer workshops , instructional videos and merch They sell their art via traditional venues as well from their web site and other platforms For them , it is a business first The artists that l like have always attracted me with their art but my long term interest with their branding As an artist myself l have purchased some streaming , process ,instructional videos which have been beneficial to my growth Although they are great artists l would hazard to guess that they generate more income in branding as opposed to painting sales
Comment from : @paulschuurmans

This is a bit misleading You never get to keep 100 of your profits as you may have to pay a subscription fee for the platform you're using for your website, annual domain costs, payment provider fees, and tax
Comment from : @Flux_One

I have been selling my works on Ebay for 15 years and things have not gone bad In fact I have a power seller and in the Cuban art category I am the one that has sold the most and I continue to sell I have gotten used to this platform and now everyone knows me through it, I also have my page on Wix, but I sell more on Ebay It is my only source of income It's a matter of perseverance and dedication that creates your brand Since they know me from Ebay, they also search for me on Google and find my personal art page I believe that platforms that have a lot of traffic help artists unintentionally create traffic towards their personal niche
Comment from : @michelblazquez

What about a nomadic digital artists selling ink jet prints?since a website must be hooked into printshop ,framer,and delivery!
Comment from : @user-wo4og7tf3e

Comment from : @MJKoKoMary

People don't buy just the art They want to buy the product with the art together

I am a new artist trying start a business
Comment from : @Alphonsa-c2x

I downloaded your steps to sell your art online thank you Its ok but platforms like Facebook and Instagram can just shut you down with no explanation I've had accounts shut down and you can't talk to anyone from Facebook or Instagram to find out why It kind of puts me off as these platforms have full control of your social media accounts and just so what they like I just had my art page on Facebook shut down with nearly 1k members No explanation, no way to appeal!
Comment from : @angelart1444

Thanks maam
Comment from : @NnaemekaAmamasi

Most ecommerce businesses will do both - direct sales for higher margins, affiliates/partners/marketplaces for the benefit of existing high traffic and sales volume Most artists will simply not have the time to do all the things required to build a long-term high traffic brand
Comment from : @TheFatPaddler

That's not a solid perspective! Starting on platforms like Etsy, Saatchi, or even through art galleries can indeed be a strategic move for new artists These platforms provide valuable exposure and can help build an initial audience THE KEY IS TO USE THESE PLATFOMRS AS A STEPPING STONE They can help you get your work out there, gather feedback, and make initial sales As you grow and gain recognition, you’ll likely find that direct connections and personal branding become more viable I am sorry if I am wrong

One sentence would have sufficed
Comment from : @deborahgonzalezknight168

ETsy is one of the most unfair platform for selling I have ever seen
Comment from : @zanetka28

Something tells me your tired of etsy taking your buyers😂 you keep saying sell yourself ok in a market flooded with hundreds of thousands from novice to expert So unless you explain how thats possible etsy seams much easier
Comment from : @Routing_for_sanity

That´s exactly what happened to me on Saatchi: the have set all of my artworks to "not for sale" from one second to another, just because I was not logging in on the platform for some time
Comment from : @arthvr-arts

I spent a little time in Banking in the US The second worst business startup is a restaurant The absolute worst business startup is a for profit art gallery You should also be aware that, in Europe, secondary sales do generate some additional income for the artists
Comment from : @lightbox617

Comment from : @halbraun123

True, but how to drive people into my art website??
Comment from : @alansommer

Great videos
Comment from : @RichCelenza

I am a graphic designer and I like to create digital art I think that using platforms like Etsy has to be another sales channel, not the only one It is always necessary to have your own sales space, your own online store, your Instagram account, your own gallery, different channels that provide you with a constant flow of customers It is important to know how to sell yourself as a person because that is key to selling your art
Comment from : @maurobertolino664

you forgot to say that Etsy will give you little to no traffic anywyway if you're not an estabilished seller :)brSo you'll have to spend money in ads even if you sell on Etsy
Comment from : @rotschimmel

so in this video there are many reasons why not to sell art with the platforms, but any real advice how to sell by yourself, just an advertisement of a course😆 sorry, wasted time
Comment from : @meowowcreates

you basically said nothing
Comment from : @scottgust9709

And nowwwwww you're giving it away to AI 😢
Comment from : @ktbiwk

It is ridiculous - real artists are fragile, sensitive people, selling anything would be a huge problem for them, you are talking about craftsmen probably!

Miss, i am an ARTIST i wnat to sell my painting please advice me and support me thank you
Comment from : @ShahzebBaig-cu5tz

they say making living doing art is 50 art and 50 business This is extremely mistaken Art is 90 business and 10 skill in Art You can create quality on par with Monet and Sargent, but since you don't have the name/reputation, It means nothing except to the 2 of population that can somewhat feel/recognize it and 001 that can truly value it Stereotypes of starving artist exists even today when exposure is 1000x easier than before, is because money and economies functions on business principles naturallyperiod brGood marketers with poor skill in art will out earn the best artist with poor skill in business any day of the week You want to create your passion work? do it, make it into content and get followers, viable strategy, but still a lot of marketing/social media/business accruement needed You want to quickly sell something? You create what the market want, not what you want This is the subjective real world, unless you already nurtured A lot fans, buyers don't care what you think, it's all about what they think And what they think and how they value are much more easily influenced by marketing strategies and packaging, relative principle, contrast principle etc I dunno why ppl still need this spelt out for them when there are black squares and banana taped to wall and pixel by pixel transferred image that a high schooler can do, all selling for obscene amount of $$$ than your 20 year trained traditional fine art that you had to draw 1000 live anatomy sessions to learn Marketing and Packaging people -_-

I am a scrap recycling artist I have a lot of scrap work and I want to sell this work Sell it to me and take a percentage of each work My work is very beautiful because I do not know how to sell it
Comment from : @hdart5

Comment from : @yizhang7768

Selling from your own website is brutal Zzzzzzzzzzeerrrro organic traffic Online sucks bigtime Save yourself and just sell in person !!!
Comment from : @fearlessabstract

the most realistic video about this topic one day i spent hours and days to create an artwork i published it on etsy and i received 4 scam messages via etsy social media can be a good way but in the beginning its so overwhelmed cause espaecially instagram algoritm works horrible unfortunately i realized something on instagram tht only nudity takes attention and traffic to the accounts this algoritm shoul be changed!!!!
Comment from : @crocus19

Well Etsy and Saatchi Definately Did not work for me!!
Comment from : @angelmalvarezart

Even if you start your own website there's still power and control by big tech You'll pay a monthly fee plus whatever social media and Google want to charge you to run traffic
Comment from : @themindbend777

you're beautiful ♥ thanks for this video!! 🙂❤
