Fixing Your Art Sales Problem (95% of artists are blowing it)

This just may change everything for you 👇

Painted it yesterday, posted it on Facebook this morning, sold it this afternoon. It’s not even dry."

If you've ever fantasized about having a line of collectors waiting to buy your new work, you may be surprised at what it takes to get there.

"Discovered" by a major magazine? Nope.

Winning a major prize at a juried art show? Nope.

Getting into a big gallery? Nope.

Our members have experienced all of these wins and more, and none of it truly moved the needle.

In fact, they never found consistent success until they focused on something most struggling artists and photographers pay almost no attention to 👇

Marketing their work.

Creating great work is one thing, but selling it successfully is an entirely different undertaking.

You'll need to address the same two specific things that every single artist or photographer must confront before they can hope to reach $100,000 a year in sales.

These two particular things are fundamental to success in the art industry, yet the overwhelming majority of artists and photographers are completely missing one or both. So –

Do you want to sell more art this year?
Build a more valuable art business?
Ensure that you are NOT going down the wrong path, like so many other art sellers?

Make sure you get these 2 things right.

The Formula for Success

In our time working with thousands of highly successful artists and photographers over the years, we've deconstructed what is making them so successful. It comes down to just 2 things:

That's it.

Having a plan and following it.

Seriously, that's it. Yet so many are still missing it.

Think about it: if you have a marketing plan that generates new customers, and a properly-designed website with all the features need to close every possible sale, what else do you need?

Nothing.

With just these 2 things, there is nothing stopping you from being successful.

With these 2 things, you can finally solve the problem of earning consistent monthly sales from your art.

Now, let's get into each of these in more detail.

#1: It All Starts With A Website*

* A proper Art Gallery Website.

The art buying process is incredibly visual. To build a thriving art business, you need to take the offline gallery experience and move it online - and not just any old website will do.

A proper, art gallery website feels like walking into a retail art gallery.

There's art on the wall, and it's clearly for sale.

This is in direct contrast to most artist websites, which are set up like image portfolios. These websites feel more like flipping through a coffee table book than entering a shop where the products can actually be purchased.

If your website isn't designed specifically to sell your art...it won't.

Furthermore, a proper art gallery website has a host of powerful features that are designed to handle all the possible questions and objections art buyers face when making a buying decision:

An art gallery website like the ones provided by Art Storefronts have features that would have saved each and every one of those lost sales.

#2: A Marketing Plan That Works

Marketing is the only thing that matters

Sure, you'll need the right website to turn your site visitors into collectors, but how do you bring those visitors to your site in the first place?

Many photographers and artists waste years of their professional lives trying to figure this part out.

An effective art marketing strategy requires:

• Consistent, on-going content marketing via email and social media
• Frequent print giveaways
• Strategic promotions centered around holidays
• An advertising strategy designed to maximize your return
• An analytics system that allows you to track the progress of your campaigns and react accordingly

Not quite as inspiring as creating art, right?

And yet, without it, earning a reliable, consistent living from your art will be nearly impossible.

Combining These Elements to Build a Profitable Art Business

To recap, achieving consistent monthly sales as an independent artist comes down to 2 things:

One that is robust enough, will always have the latest features and functionality, and will work for you for many years to come. 

Our advice? Don't spend another minute uploading your images to a bunch of online gallery sites and waiting for sales to come to you.

It's what everyone else is doing, and it doesn't work.

Instead, put in the work, follow a proper strategy to market your art as far and wide as possible, and nothing will be standing in your way from breaking all previous sales records this year. 

And you won't be alone:
