I am making this resource available to ALL artists who wish to sell and promote their art online without any costs. Lets face it, most of us artists have limited computer skills and less promotional skills~ Anyway after compiling my research and testing the market with my own art, I have sold over 300 works of art in the last 2 years online in the places I am sharing here. I did join many of the POD sites where I had to pay an annual fee and found they didnt really increase my sales enough to cover the costs of their memberships~ So I also sold alot on Ebay a couple of years ago but was not satisfied with their results often being on the minimum bids as there simply is an over saturation on art on Ebay in that just to get a few views may be all you get and Ebay charges fees whether you sell or not. I found the other auctions sites listed below that things sold slower but they sold and they didnt charge listing fees which makes it a win win situation in that you only have to pay a small sellers fee if your item is sold and if not, you can automatically relist them til they do sell~ That saves alot of time and effort along the way to simply hit a relist button~!! Then I found some little shops that sell and are affordable in that you only pay pennies to list an item for up to 3 months at a time like at Etsy! Still without promotion, getting people to your art is alot of work in itself and people will not simply find you if you dont promote! You could post pics on every social site on the net working 20 hours a day and not get a sale as a result. You need to promote to an audience that is looking to buy art or suggested to see your art and may result in a sale. Here is my list of places to show, promote and sell your art. Promoters charge alot of money, because there is work involved, but here even the least computer saavy artist can successfully list, promote and sell their art more effectively Best of Luck~ AveHurley
