Thanks for watching! I haven’t been making “website tips” videos as I have been more focused on other subjects. I will do a revisit soon!

Hi , thank you for the information. It was super helpful.

I am overwhelmed with all the options, limitations, speed, lack of knowledge on what I need technically speaking and not really knowing what each feature that I desire requires from a hosting platform. It is like walking in outer space, you see a lot of stars from a distance without any clarity. There is an over abundance of individuals marketing and affiliates out there and it is hard to find those who truly give genuine transparent feedback about the pros and cons for each platform for the artist. As an artist, flexibility is key. I am looking for the best place to sit my website with lots of design options, great disk space/bandwidth/security/uptime/website speed.for the following features: gallery/portfolio, Ecommerce, blog, POD options, and the best search optimization while on a budget.

I like the spacewalk analogy! Yes there are so many options today for individual entrepreneurs and creatives. If you want flexibility, I would recommend using WP back office. You have thousands of plug-ins and themes to choose from. You can work with ANY POD on the planet earth (and outer space). But it’s not easy to work with. Flexibility and ease unfortunately don’t go hand in hand.

Thank you for all your video. I've seen just now printful and it seems interesting. Can you make a video about printful and similar site wich can be useful for artist? And also One on how to make grow a personal blog? P.s. You have a really good voice😎😎😎

Wow great information! 😍👏👏👏👏

Thank you so much for your honesty, I fully trust your research and experience that goes into your videos and sharing with us all. Very inspiring and to the point, with no fluff involved.

Which one would be better? Wordpress or Weebly? Would it be a problem when using a subdomain? Because I don´t want to buy a domain

Thank you for all those videos. I've been watching a bunch of them. Very helpful. Maybe you could also give tips on how to reach buyers on social media, such as Instagram. I'd like to use Instagram to promote my art. I'm not a painter, I'm a fine art photographer. I've used Instagram in the past but without professional intentions. I could get a decent number of followers, however most of them were photographers as well. This time I want a new account to promote my art, I'd love to reach buyers but I'm afraid I will attract photographers again haha.

safe Safelight-room This is a common problem - galleries want to attract buyers but they end up attracting lots of artists instead. But it’s not a bad thing. If you can get a decent number like 50K plus, you can eventually to recommended to collectors on Instagram.

Where can I get a canvas sizes image for free or what tool/app can I use to create one so my customers can see a reference to canvas sizes compared in a room? Thanks in advance. I don’t want to “steal” and image from Google.

Can I make an art website on Google business instead of using websites like squarespace for my business account?

You can make a Google business site. It’s better than not having a site in some ways. But you won’t have the unique domain name that corresponds to your artist name, and you can’t use SEO strategies to attract traffic.

It depends on your IT skills and budget as well. If money isn't an issue, you can use SquareSpace (good blog, easy to use) or Shopify (good e-commerce, not too difficult to use). If you want to show up on Google results, WordPress is the best (need more computer skills but cheaper).

Overall the best budget choice is WordPress + e-commerce platform combo. Like Gumroad, BigCartel (cheaper options) or Shopify (more expensive).

Hi! The best is to use WordPress and build your own based on a template of your choice. We use Elegant Themes because it offers a lot of themes. Many artists we know use Elementor that is more popular.

If you use printful or printify on your own website surely thsts not passive. I read 50% of clothing sold online got returned. So you would have a lot of customer service hassle wouldn't you?

Yes, very true. It’s not as passive as it might seem. One quality that is within the passive income basket, is the “0 upfront investment” aspects.
