Places to Sell Your Prints Online
These are websites that will allow you to sell art online simply by providing digital images. Your images can be turned into prints, posters, or other promotional products and shipped to the buyer. They offer slightly different cost and payment structures so be sure to read the terms carefully before you sell your art online. Some sites allow you to sell your art on your own website via special links. This is a great way to sell your artwork online without the worry of creating prints and shipping orders yourself.
List of Online Art Communities
An online art community can be a good place to make friends and promote your art. This is a list of online artist communities for artists and photographers. Each of these websites offer free image galleries and networking tools such as friend lists, profile pages, image commenting, and forums. See my article about Social Networking for Artists for more information on how to use a free art community to promote your work.
List of Online Artist Directories
Specialized art directories like these can provide links and credibility for your website. When adding your link to an online artist directory, make sure you choose an appropriate category and follow any instructions about submission. Some directories can take months to list your site so be patient.
