Why I Quit Selling Original Artwork

While I'm not selling originals right now, I AM selling my artwork. It's complicated, but I'll explain.

I'm so glad you are finding ways to keep going with your business while also focusing on finding peace and balance for you 💕

[@amandahilburn]

Thanks 😊 Things constantly change and we have to adapt or else … LOL

[@chriswallace2680]

I have followed you for years! It is amazing to see how you have grown & evolved! I have learned things from you that I use in each painting that I do. I wish you continued success!

[@amandahilburn]

Wow, thank you! That makes my day!

🎉great video! So true. The time we spend in photography, listing, writing description, packing, and taking of having items picked up to ship- is a Big job. That’s why I closed my online shop, 11 years ago.
I want to have fun painting, not doing “all the things” . It’s always better to blaze your own trail.

It is huge but if you could hire a studio assistant it would help ☺️

Thanks for sharing Amanda. I always admired not only your beautiful work but also your solid values. The whole online sales thing seems overwhelming. Beautiful painting!

[@amandahilburn]

Oh thank you! It's not that I don't like selling online...it's just a full time job by itself. :)

Wow! This message really speaks to me in so many ways because I used to concern myself so much about selling artwork and if that was for me or not. Thank you Amanda for being so authentic and not following what the Artists in Society say a Professional Artist should look like or be in business.

I’m happy that it helped you ❤️

I’m debating whether to start selling my art at all and this is helpful! Thank you

[@amandahilburn]

Glad it was helpful! ❤️

This is why I have always used PODS and I love doing digital art! I can produce it once and then let them handle the other part of it. My only issue is that I am sending MY customers to their site to purchase and then I don't get the customer info or the ability to follow up and give the excellent customer service I would provide. Do you have shopify or something set up? I know I can set it up differently so I can capture that info but haven't had the time to look into how to do it efficiently.

I have Printify linked to Woocommerce. I don't really like that I can't be more personal with my shipping either, but sometimes I have to weigh the pros and cons and choose something for a season that I may not always do. I don't think I'll ever be able to completely give up selling originals. I've already put my in-house prints back on my website. :)
