5 Ways Francesca Saveri Ramped Up Her Online Art Sales
  • You need an Online Shop - way to take payment in exchange for your work.
  • In real life, this is just you with a cash box sat behind a table at an art fair. Online, it’s all automated… so you can take orders and get paid without having to sit in the cold.
  • There are many types of shops you can choose from, Shopify, Weebly, Squarespace to name a few… you could even use a marketplace like Etsy (although we are against that because having your own branded online shop gives you more chance to improve upon your conversion rate)
