Printful seems to be on the same page, encouraging sellers to go the extra mile to set up their own site for a better profit margin than you ’ d get with a service like Society6 (although still pretty comparable to Fine Art America or Saatchi). There ’ s nothing terribly wrong with using a third-party site to sell your art, in theory, but if you ’ ve been around The Abundant Artist long enough you know we ’ re all about empowering artists to create their own website first and foremost. Once you sell a piece, the POD service will print your art off for you on canvas or on a number of mediums (think cell phone cases and tote bags), and you get the full value or a cut of the price paid. The basic premise is that by signing up with one of these services, you ’ re given some online real estate where you can upload your artwork with the hopes of getting noticed by potential buyers. You can see our Ultimate Guide to Print on Demand services here.

You may have experienced something similar at an exhibit or art fair, and wondered how you could get your art into the hands of more people. Do you have a something that’s less expensive? I’d love a print.”

Potential Buyer: “Oh gosh, I wish I could afford that. Potential Buyer: “I love your art! How much is it?”
