So, you are an aspiring artist and have decided to monetize your talent. But your work is not yet known to collectors or the general public, so cooperation with major galleries is postponed until better times. However, do not worry: many later famous artists suffered from a lack of orders and sales at the beginning of their career, but this did not stop them. Do not be afraid of difficulties and remember that great things start small!
Part 1 - INTERNET
Vincent van Gogh, Red Vineyards at Arles, 1888 According to a common myth, only this painting was sold during the artist's lifetime. In fact, the sale of fourteen works has been established for certain. But Van Gogh didn't have the internet!
There are two ways to sell your work on the Internet: on your own and on intermediary sites. We recommend that a novice artist first of all pay attention to creative online trading platforms. There are many sites on the Internet with the ability to create your own store. But be aware that there is a commission on every sale. Its size may vary and depends on the popularity of the site. What are the benefits? Search engines give pages of trading platforms first in the list, thanks to which the circle of your potential customers and buyers expands significantly.
Here you can create your profile for free, post images and get feedback, and learn useful information by reading articles. Like now, for example.
Every day we choose one picture to place on the main page of the site, where all visitors will see it. Sign up and maybe tomorrow you will be lucky!
The next step is to create a personal website. A business card site can be made independently in any designer and placed on a free hosting, but the traffic will be low. A full-fledged website dedicated to your creativity is better to order from professionals and pay for its promotion. This option is more suitable for those who have already achieved commercial success. Tip: don't count on the fact that a large investment in a personal website at the first stage of a creative journey will greatly affect sales. While your name is not known to anyone, it is better not to take risks and choose more affordable ways to make yourself known.
François Boucher, "The Artist in the Studio" (self-portrait), 1720
Speaking of promotion, don't neglect social media! Carefully fill out your pages on Facebook and Vkontakte, create groups and fill them with interesting content, open an Instagram store. Pay special attention to the quality of images and the style of profiles in general - sloppy, irregularly updated pages will not interest investors and art dealers, and the buyer may be repelled. Basically, you will communicate with collectors, gallery owners and customers through social networks, so describe your creative path in your profile information, share links to exhibitions in which you participate, accompany the posted works with text, and respond to comments. So you will gradually gather your audience, which will learn about your creative news in a timely manner and respond to them, and this is very important for a novice artist!
Salvador Dali with his painting Soft Self-Portrait with Fried Bacon, 1954.
Another popular way to sell your work via the Internet is to post ads on Avito. Indeed, for a novice artist who wants to make money, this option may seem the most attractive. However, it should be borne in mind that this is not a professional platform - at a high cost, most likely, they simply will not buy anything from you. In addition, art lovers do not visit this site in order to admire the paintings, chat and find new interesting authors, so you won’t be able to find your audience here. Conclusion: Avito and similar sites are a purely commercial distribution channel, and with a low profit, so you should not be limited to them.
Giovanni Boldini, The Connoisseur, 1870
In conclusion, we note that online sales have advantageous differences from cooperation with galleries. By publishing images of your work on the Internet, you do not risk anything, because the originals are stored with you and are always available, which is convenient. You can also use photos of works already sold or posted on other sites for your online portfolio. According to them, the customer or buyer will have a more complete picture of your work than several paintings in the gallery. But remember that the image never exactly matches the original, so you should upload only high-quality scans or photos that are as close to reality as possible. Important: be sure to protect the images with a watermark, otherwise they may be reproduced without your consent!

As you can see, through the Internet you can not only successfully sell works, but also carry out your own promotion without extra investments. The undeniable advantage is that you yourself set the price and control every stage of the transaction: interested parties can contact you directly and agree on a purchase on mutually beneficial terms. In addition, personal communication with those who have appreciated your work can bring real pleasure, and often develops into long-term cooperation and expansion of the contact base through recommendations.
