sell your art rIGHT fROM hOME:
Selling your art can be a mountainous stream of income and I only wish I would have known this sooner…
Whether you are selling physical arts and crafts, photography, or would like to learn how to sell your art digitally, I can help point you in the right direction!

sell your art right from home via PRINT
ON DEMAND (P.O.D.)
Print on demand companies are a great way to go for making extra cash with no stress attached. Once you upload the design you created, the Print On Demand company will have it printed on any of their hundreds of different products that are completely blank. Items are only created once ordered by customer.
Also, there is no worrying about inventory, customer care issues, returns, or anything of that sort. Creating awesome art that will sell on the goods is the only thing you will have to be concerned with.
Here are the top POD sites I have seen friends sell for and seem to have the most choices of different items you can sell. Home decor, jewelry, clothes, bedding, and much much more. In addition, once you get it down, you can just upload your designs to ALL OF THEM: Click here for the full list of 52 POD sites.

Finally- How to sell Your Crafts
once you create:
Due to troubles finding the people that will potentially buy from you, social media is A MUST. Which platforms you use will depend on what you are selling. Since one platform or another will sell more for you, your tough job in the beginning will be to figure out which one(s) is best for you.
You can make an educated guess all you want, but this is going to be a trial and error process. No shortcut around it.
Start out with 2-3 (I would suggest Pinterest, Instagram, and one more like YouTube, Twitter or Facebook).
Pinterest seems to take the cake as far as finding potential customers. So, all you have to do is worry about taking beautiful photos of your art. and maybe adding some attention grabbing titles. Selling is fairly simple from there.
Take advantage of time-saving auto posting apps so you can have more time to do income producing activities (like making art:) and let the auto post do the social media stuff. Auto posting apps take whatever photo you want to share (and attach your sales or affiliate link to) and posts it for you any time of the day so you don’t have to spend the time sitting on social media.
Tailwind is my favorite because they will post to Instagram and Pinterest automatically andsuggest the best times to post based on your traffic stats.
If this is something you want to bring in consistent money from, I would at the very least start with that. The ultimate goal is to have a constant and steady stream of posts just because you wont know who is on social media and supplying a consistent stream of posts will give you the best chance of your post going viral.
Once you start shopping around for Social Media Management tools, you will see that there are entirely too many to choose from. The one that I currently use is completely budget friendly, amazingly simple to use, and you get the most for your buck. Tailwind all the way.

Art right From Home
Creating Pinnable Photos
Create a “Pinnable photo” so everyone can’t keep their eyes off your image and want to share it. An image around 600x900pixels has worked the best in my experience, or completely square.
***Side note, just to make sure you comply with the FTC, make sure put #ad somewhere on the post. In the description is fine, just make sure it is visible to people clicking on it.

Auto posting services will Save you time
so you can create more art to
sell online.
Without fail, I have most of my posts scheduled to post for at least a month ahead of time. That is one whole month I don’t even have to think about posting at all. Ultimately this saves hours of freaking work.
Analytics helps you see who is clicking, re-posting, and saving which things. This will help you see which ads you might wanna tweak. I create at least 4 ads for each post because you won’t know what works the best.
In conclusion, this is considered A&B testing and is a must to ensure consistent sales.

Hope this helps get your at home art business started right. Feel free to email me with questions and to just say hi, or let me know how it is all going!
I love to hear from my readers!
