One good thing about the Internet is its intrinsic quality of leveling the playing field. In the field of visual arts, for example, both the struggling artists and their experienced counterparts have the equal chance and opportunity to display their wares to an equal number of audiences.

 The Business Of Selling Your Artwork

 Always remember that you need to invest time and effort in selling and advancing yourself and your works on the Internet. Hundreds of thousands of artists compete to get the attention of millions of users surfing and visiting blogs and websites. You should regularly devote ample time in marketing your services or products and you are encouraged to use two or three mediums to achieve better and wider exposure and market reach.

 Create a personal blog to highlight yourself and your works. This is especially true and most applicable for artists. Blogs are very attractive to search engines which make exposure much more efficient, and they can be used as a vehicle for continuing links to galleries that hold and offer your artworks.

 You can join an online social network like Facebook and post your profile, your works of art, your blogs, and you can even upload a video showing you at work with one of your masterpieces. The features of these networks like announcements, networking and message bulletin boards, can be utilized to maximize visibility on the Internet.

 Publication of an ebook featuring your works is also a good and effective method in marketing. Websites such as Lulu.com, CreateSpace.com, and Amazon.com, are ideal sites for such publications online.

 Getting a membership in a couple of forums that engage with different artists selling their works online is also useful. You get a chance to update other members and guests with your works and activities, and showcase highlights of your works which get positive reviews from other viewers and users.  Always leave a mark, like your name, signature, and address, on your posted blogs, comments, and feedbacks.

Networking Is Important

Ultimately, networking should and must play an important role in selling your artwork online. Networking is simply connecting with people and getting those people to connect you with more people and more people, etcetera. Remember that marketing also involves the numbers game, in getting more people to see your products and services on a wider field of exposure.

Networking can be done anywhere, anytime, whether online or personal. It's basically telling everyone what you are doing and asking them how they can connect you, by referral, to others. Distributing your business card to people is a good networking method, where you leave information to people on how they can get in touch with you.
