I’m curious. Over and over I’ve received solicitations to show my work on online galleries. They seem to make it easy to upload images and build themes and provide all the visual bells and whistles. So far I’ve been skeptical because I don’t know how to evaluate the market, or find out if the gallery has a good record for sales. I’m sure some are very good, but how many are just an idea from an entrepreneur hoping to make it work.
Some charge a monthly fee for being represented on their website, others take a portion of sales. The latter seems fair, at least they will be working to sell to make money. I’m leery of monthly fee based sites.
I’m interested in any of your experiences, ideas and suggestions for what works, and what doesn’t work. Let me know your experiences pro and con and I will share this information with my subscribers, together we can network and maybe save someone a whole lot of grief.
I look forward to hearing from you.
