However, I have sent newsletters directing those I know to the site. All of the collectors are connected to me in some respect.

As a daily blogger, you tend to build up a following of people who share the same interests. Over time relationships are formed and people become more comfortable to place an internet order or make an Internet purchase from an artist. <BR/><BR/>I use Etsy as a storefront where people can buy greeting cards and small paintings. <BR/><BR/>Ebay did not work for me and I have not tried Craigslist.<BR/><BR/>Katherine - you have a wonderful informative blog!Enzie Shahmirihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13959938138147453529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-91221106161935052532008-11-04T11:05:00.000+00:002008-11-04T11:05:00.000+00:00Interesting about the Craigslist!I'm hoping this p...Interesting about the Craigslist!<BR/><BR/>I'm hoping this post might generate more comments from people telling us what works for them<BR/><BR/>For example - Triecia asks wonders whether eBay connected to her blog might help?<BR/><BR/>What do people think?Making A Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13509483023337008890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-74902105149313411632008-11-04T06:28:00.000+00:002008-11-04T06:28:00.000+00:00Great idea for a poll Kathryn.

It prompted me to scroll back through my blog and I realised I have been offering blog paintings for sale for just under a year now with 7 out of the 21 sold. As a beginner I am pretty happy with that, painting practice has always been my main priority so the sales are a nice bonus.<BR/><BR/>I haven't put much effort into marketing my blog but it is something I am beginning to think about. Most of my sales have gone to people who keep an eye on my blog because they know me; I would like to know how I can reach beyond those whom I know. For instance I am wondering how much eBay can help to reach more collectors?A Reason to Painthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10566936426389663398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-5568422917317259182008-11-03T21:10:00.000+00:002008-11-03T21:10:00.000+00:00I've gotten 6 commissions from my website this...I've gotten 6 commissions from my website this past year. I advertise on Craigslist and direct them to my website. But I sell most of my work through art/craft shows and Etsy.com. People really like to meet & talk with me regarding my drawings...and always asking me if I'm local, they like that a lot!Kathryn Hansenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13094419097977428535noreply@blogger.com
