Getting high exposure for your work

ART.COM(GALLERY)


Art.com is a site mainly for selling prints/posters and frames of art work. The main section sells work by already established artists, whereas the 'original art/photography' section allows new artists to set up a free gallery with up to 16 images, also has a paying option for up to 96 image uploads. Art.com makes prints of your work on demand for sale. Art.com was recently bought out by allposters.com.

PRO'S

Has a free gallery for new artists/photographers. Obviously the fact that they have the web site ART.com means that a lot of traffic will go through this site. If someone wants to buy an original piece of your work they can contact you directly and art.com doesn't take a commision.

CON'S

The free gallery is limited to just 16 images. Art.com only offers you 10% of the sales price of your images in poster or print form which seems a bit stingy in my view bearing in mind how long you probably took to create it. So many different known/unknown artists with work on this site that obviously the more popular established artists images will sell more than yours.

SUMMARY

A good site for exposure but not such a good site for earning commision.
