2. Etsy – a community of artists who make hand crafted pieces.  See our post on How to Sell Your Art on Etsy.
3. Adwords – Google’s advertising program.  If you have a website where you sell your work, Adwords is a highly effective way of targeting those looking for art to buy.  If you’d like some tips on how to use Adwords, please contact me directly.
4. Ebay – the world’s largest auction site.  Follow @ebayart on Twitter to get an idea of what kind of art does well on ebay.
5. Amazon – the single largest directory of online stores, Amazon turned itself into one of the world’s largest retailers by creating a platform for anyone to sell anything.  There are literally thousands of stores that use Amazon as their main source of sales.  If you make handmade jewelry, Amazon has a section just for you on their front page.

Showcase Sites { Some may not offer online sales }

Showcase sites allow you to place your work into a page online. Although initially a way to showcase your work, many showcase sites are now starting to offer the ability to sell your work directly on a print-on-demand basis so there is a crossover with that category. Some also have a networking element within the creative community, with the emphasis on getting your work seen in order to secure commissions or freelance work.

Print-On-Demand

Print on demand websites allow you to upload a high resolution image of your work. Reproductions can then be sold in a variety of formats {on canvas, as cards or prints etc} Print-on-demand is brilliant for giving you an extra income stream from your original work. It is also great for photographers, allowing you to sell a wide range of imagery without having to print individually.
