Art Business
Making money from art and handmade work, from where to sell and what to charge to getting found, for makers who sell or want to start.
Selling art is a second craft, and this section covers it plainly for small operations, from a handful of listings to a market stall. Here you will find where to sell and what it costs, how to price your work, and the shipping, paperwork and taxes that come with every order.
In this section:
- Etsy, Shopify and other marketplaces
- Craft fairs, markets and pop-ups
- Pricing prints, originals and commissions
- Print on demand versus self-printing
- Packaging and shipping
- Product photography for listings
- Email lists, social media, press
- Commissions and client work
- Licensing and wholesale
- Taxes, bookkeeping and legal basics
- Sponsors and brand work
