It used to be very difficult and some say even close to impossible to make money with art.
Have you heard of the term 'the starving artist'? But fortunately, this has changed today a lot.
With the power of the Internet it is possible nowadays to sell art to customer all over the world.
An international market is open for you.
However, since there is a lot of money to be made, there is also a lot of competition.
You have to think a bit outside the box and different from the crowd to succeed.
If you are the kind of artist that is not moving with the time, do not worry.
The method I am going to explain is simple as it is profitable.
My method is not selling on eBay or other auction houses as this is too time consuming.
You will have to pack and ship your art.
Neither I am talking about running an own website, this is very time consuming too.
Half of your time you will have to market your site to move up in the search engines that customer will eventually find you.
