I'm stuck on my website, it looks like a portfolio which is good but I also wanted a store so that people could buy from me but it's not working like I thought. I keep following the steps to add PayPal to my site but for some reason its not taking it. So my website is just the portfolio I started with, which is good so I'll have to call them and see what I'm doing wrong.
Putting up a website isn't as easy as they say, and some even say its essential to display your artwork. I'll just leave the portfolio up and have people contact me if they want to buy.
I did learn something though. Putting up a red bubble store is easier. After I figured out how to convert my photos of my artwork from a jpeg to a gif file, it turned out to be easier. Red Bubble is a site that any artist can put up artwork and they will put it on coffee mugs, t-shirts, pillows, totes, travel mugs and you keep the rights of your work. You also keep a larger percentage of the sales on Red bubble than any other site I looked into. Most of the artwork on there is stuff like the characters of the "angry birds" or little doodles like that but I decided to put most of my drawings. Like I said easier, and another stream of income if anything sells. I haven't sold anything yet, but it's only been a month.
check out my site to see what you can sell then go ahead and read what they have to offer, I think its totally cool.
