You can use an established website that is specifically geared towards helping artists sell art and other goods to create your online store. Choosing a website like Etsy or Bonanza is often an easy choice if you don't know how to create a website on you own. An already established website will give you advice on how to set up your store, put up your work, and promote your work successfully. Keep in mind, however, that websites like Etsy will take a percentage of each purchase. Explore the website and read reviews before committing your work to it. A few other websites to choose from are Zazzle, Cargoh, and Made It Myself. Signing up on established websites (like Etsy or Zazzle) is simple and free. Go to your chosen website to sign up for a membership. Then, you will be asked to fill out some personal information, such as your name, shop name, local currency, email, and what type of items you will be selling. Read the instructions and carefully enter your information to make sure everything that will appear on your page is correct. Typically, you won't need to design the look of the page on an established website. You will just need to add information and content. Add an about section, a contact information page, portfolio section, and your "shop" page. Most importantly, add photos of the prints you'd like to sell. Include information about the print, such as size, colors used, and background information (if you'd like). If you're using a website, such as Cargoh, you won't need to set up your own payment system. You will just need to determine the price for each print you're selling. Price your print according to the amount of effort put into the print, type of print, and what a similar print usually goes for. Consider adding a small amount to the price to cover the fee the website will take from the sale. For example, if your print is $10 USD, consider adding $1 USD to the overall cost. Typically, you can accept payments from debit cards, Google Wallet, Apple Pay, and gift cards, if the site offers gift cards. Once a payment has been made, the amount will be deposited directly into your bank account. Keep in mind that the website will take a small percentage of the payment before depositing the amount. A 3.5% transaction fee for each product sold is typical with established websites. Websites like Etsy make shipping easy because they calculate shipping for you. All you will need to do is carefully package the print, and send it out to the correct location. Try to send out the item as soon as possible, as you will get better reviews if the item arrives quickly.
