THIS IS THE #1 CLASS ON SKILLSHARE ABOUT SELLING ART ONLINE

..but I stopped updating the Skillshare version because they stopped paying their teachers a decent wage. Also they don't let me tell you all the revenue options because it's against their policies.

Hi, I'm Douglas.

I'll help you sell your digital art, including AI-generated images, photos, any type of graphics, and vectors.

When I started my online T-shirt business 5+ years ago, I didn't know where to start, so I just uploaded it to every POD site I could find. At the end of the day, I spent a bunch of time on useless sites, but I did find a few good merchants. The same thing with promotion. I tried many things until I finally figured out how to get lasting traffic without ads.

I want to save you the time I spent by making you an expert on the industry in under 4 hours, with this knowledge and so much more.

You could spend 50+ hours learning the hard way, or you can learn from my experience and get going in the right direction.

Investing time intelligently is the main focus of this course, and pressing play is the first investment. We’re going to talk about the best places to sell, how to sell intelligently, and how to make uploading (arguably the hardest part of selling your art) fast, easy, and mindless.

Here’s a breakdown of the major concepts:

• How to monetize
  What sites should I sell on?? This question plagues every single artist starting out. I did the research so you don't have to.
  
  I will tell you all the ways I know to make money with art online, and we will talk in-depth about the biggest two ways: selling stock photography and selling your art on print-on-demand products. I did a bunch of research and compiled my findings into two spreadsheets, one comparing the top POD sites, and one comparing the top Stock Photography sites.
• How to get traffic without paid advertising
  We will also talk about ways to bring in steady traffic for years to come from search engines, without buying ads. These techniques have helped me sell art every day for over 4 years.
• How to master financial success
  I will share with you something I call the success formula that breaks down your sales into three components. Then, I will give you tips to maximize your profits by improving each component. We will optimize our stores so they are attractive and communicative, give our viewers ways to connect with us long-term, and learn how to create the type of art that will attract lots of sales.

FAQ

Do I need to invest money to sell my art online?

Not at all. It's possible to do everything in this course without any monetary investment other than purchasing this course. I never invested money in advertising, instead, I figured out where my traffic was coming from and developed the strategies I will share with you.

Only one of the three POD methods requires your own website, which is the only startup cost you will encounter in selling your artwork. You will need to invest time, and I will show you how to do that wisely. This three-hour course will save you many many hours and headaches when it's time to upload your whole portfolio.
