In my class Wordpress: Web Development for the Right Side of the Brain I teach the value of building a Web Presence versus just a website. The ultimate goal of your web presence is to drive traffic to your website and ultimately to produce sales.
Many artists get started with online sales through the popular website, Etsy. Etsy is designed to make it very simple for “rightbrainers” to use and it only takes a few minutes to setup an online shop. At writing, Etsy boasts 800 million sellers. There’s “strength in numbers” when it comes to online marketing. However, placing your work on Etsy alone is not going to guarantee sales. Etsy is another facet to your web presence, like your Facebook page, YouTube Channel and Flickr page.
Speaking of Etsy and facebook, some enterprising individual has come up with a Facebook application designed to help retailers set up online shops on Facebook. The startup, Payvment, has an Etsy-to-Facebook export tool that lets Payvment users import their entire Etsy inventories and sell them via their Facebook Pages.
