You probably dont care but if you are stoned like me during the covid times you can watch pretty much all of the new movies and series on instaflixxer. Been streaming with my gf during the lockdown xD
I just want to say thank you for creating this! It's the first video I've found so far where it's very clear that you're passionate about art and helping other artist. I appreciate your honesty and integrity!
Thanks for this video! Agreed! Quality is key. And it is good to offer customers a variety of products at different price points. I also agree with you that as artists we need to keep our time and energy for creating art. After all, without the art, there is no business!
i just stumble upon on your channel and I immediatley subscribed. You really give out good advice and helpful tips. Now it's time fofr me to binge watch other videos. Thanks
Sir is there any website/service available where I can send by art prints rather they will print and send directly to my customer who has brought my prints on Etsy without taking the hassles of printing and sending by myself. please suggest.
The second video I've seen tonight back-to-back the one you're cute as a bug. I've been painting now going on 6 years at the a 30-year hiatus if not touching a brush, long short story. But over the years I've watched quite the handful of how to sell your artwork videos and I have to tell you dude you're pretty damn good do you get in there and you just let us all know the truth. It's painful it's scary but it's the truth and I love that because I feel more confident now knowing so much more truth. I think I'm going to design a website soon. I appreciate you. Please to have met you Sincerely Cajunalaskan from: Funny River, Alaska
Hi. You mentioned there is only 1 print on demand service worth using, the one with the best quality prints. Can you please tell me which print on demand service provider this is? Thanks
It changes over time and depends on what products you want to sell, some POD companies are better for certain products then others while those others will be better for certain products as well. And so testing it out based on the products that you want to sell is going to be the key strategy here.
I just found your channel. It's cool to see how it's grown over the past year. Great thumbnails. I appreciate your willingness to cover niche topics that help artists. Knowing that you are an artist yourself, I'm curious why you use your youtube platform to help artists grow their careers, when you could easily focus instead on making videos that leverage your own career as an artist. It seems like you really enjoy the business side of art. Maybe that's why? Anyway, nice to meet you and thanks for sharing your expertise :)
Well it's hard to reveal my personal strategy in a comment but... It's all going to make a lot of sense I can assure you;... this is the best for my personal art career no doubt. And if you ever have questions or you would like to see something specific explained on the channel. Please let me know. I would love to help you out with some future videos.
@@driesketels Thanks Dries! Very cool. Thank you for the offer of support. Right now, my focus is teaching art to kids and teaching adults how to be more like kids (through making art), for the purpose of emotional growth and well being, and creating a channel and content that supports that. I will let you know if I think of a video topic that would support this. One thing I always find meaningful and motivational is learning biographical information about fellow artists and what motivates them, and what areas have been challenging for them. I’m not sure whether you already have videos about this (I haven’t come across any but I haven’t checked in a while) but that would be fun to see. Many blessings to you, Dries! 💜
Thanks for this great video. What is a good quantity for limited edition prints? I'm guessing it depends on if you are just starting out or established, etc. Maybe a video on this? Thanks again.
You got that right. It all depends... It's useless to do a series of 100 limited edition prints if you can only sell 4 of them you know... :) It all depends on the demand really. Good idea Henson. I'll consider making a video about it.
Great suggestion! I already kind of did that. Why don't you check out 6 best print on demand websites for artists. I think that video will help you out a lot.
First, appreciate your series. Second, I think I finally know my style. My videos don't really reflect it yet, but that's ok. I have only just begun filming, sharing and there is plenty of room for change, growth, and exploration. That's what we do. I have researched how I am going to promote my art and where I am going to direct them. It is not set up now (I have to get those fancy dancy photos that you recommend of my art ready, lol) , but I do know that I would like a site(I am thinking Big Cartel), high quality print on demand site, and promote via social media. Your videos have helped me make sense of some of these things, and of some things I hadn't thought about. I am not looking to make a living, but at least to sell...I mean, isn't that the idea?
Hey dries great video, would you still say 400-500 euro is just about right for limited edition prints that all have a digital certificate of authenticity and all recorded in the blockchain proving authenticity and ownership from Verisart?
I don't know enough about blockchain stuff tbh so... Perhaps blockchain stuff will replace the whole signature art thing in the future. But for now, in order to charge 400-500 you will need to provide an autograph on the prints for the majority of artworks (there are some exceptions though, hard to explain in a comment)
@@driesketels Appreciate your response. another thing I need to mention is I recently sold 4 digitally painted originals to an interior design client (Yes I'm an interior designer and 3D Artist mostly) and I sold these paintings as an upsell to my main interior design offering and it was easy because I painted these pieces to perfectly match the style and color scheme of the project and I got a print on demand partner to print and frame all 4 of them after the client paid me about 500 euro in total. Now I'm in a bit of a dilemma, should I continue only selling specific artworks for my projects as an upsell to my design service, or can I find a way to make art that other interior designers would be happy to buy that would suit their projects as well especially if I create collections that accommodate color schemes that are on trend. what do you think?
I would definitely do more of the thing that works first... Creating more designs in line with your own projects building a portfolio out art that sold and is hanging in homes... And then, a couple months later, use those testimonials to get other interior designers in the mix as well.
@@driesketels Thanks for your response man really appreciate it and you raise a good point indeed! I will definitely keep doing what works first. Thanks for your awesome channel that brings great value as always!

Great video. Very insightful. Thank you! Only one comment - please make your videos shorter, and focused on the points you want to highlight. I find too much of context setting with oft-repeated statements / assertions. This ideally could be a crisp 4 - 4.5 min video. Same with your other videos. Ton of great insights but getting lost in too many words.
Hy. I want to ask your help. I am thinking of starting a small business in Europe to sell prints and I am looking for something that : 1 can print prints up to 40 inches long 2 can easy print on 300gsm paper 3 isn’t so expensive to maintain 4 Print quality is good I muss say that my budget is up to 1500 Euro I have a lot of ideas to run the business I just need to find the printer that can do all the things above.. I will very much appreciate your answer
1500 is a big investment so we should ask some important questions first. Please be so kind to write back to me on IG dm or something because I will probably not read your answer here on UA-cam. Are you planning on selling your own art, or the art of other people? Do you have proof of work on the prints that you want to sell? If so, how much profit do you take on each of those prints on average? Do you know your potential customers and are you certain that you will be able to convert those people into customers?
@@driesketels And many thank for taking the time in writing me back. I sell personalized memory boxes for babies and couples and I plan in growing my business in offering invitations, room posters, baby shower cards, wedding invitations and I really need a printer that can help me improving my bussines ..
Oh no that is not going to work... Please watch one of my other videos or watch videos of other people and learn about selling all types of art prints. You can do it, I'm sure you can.
@@driesketels Yes. You seem quite knowledgeable. I found it afterwards. Which one is the least hassle with the highest quality & most organic traffic in your opinion.??
I appreciate the straight forward talks you give and the information. Artists lifting up other artists! My website, goes live October 30th, and I'm new to insta, so I have been using your videos as guidance. Thank you. ChronicallyCuriousArt.com
I'd feel ripped off if I paid for something that claimed to be a signed piece, but in reality just had something the equivalent of a digital watermark.
Hi Dries I am a recent college graduate in fine arts. I have sold some of my Lino prints to friends and people on the street while busking during this Summer. I am eager to start selling online. Tomorrow I have an appointment with a business start-up adviser in a local community office. I have so much to learn as I am not yet confident in using online platforms safely. This lady will help me to set up a web page and link it to my instagram account (which I managed to set up on my own recently). She will also give me advise on using other platforms such as Facebook etc. Would you have any advice on other sites or platforms or anything else that I-as a beginner-should know and ask about when I go into this meeting? The lady is very willing to help me but she is not an artist and does not have -if any-experience in helping beginners in this trade. I have been watching your videos all Summer and love your wisdom, sincerity, and experienced authenticity. I would be happy with any advice you think important for a complete online novice like me, and sincerely thank you in advance for any time you may wish to spend in replying. Steve Ps From watching your vids already I will inquire about Etsy and EBay set up and registration

"artists are not the most organized creatures" - these words of truth somehow killed me.
haha glad I wasn't just speaking for myself
Basically a mess lmao so true
as a capricorn artist its kind of a good mix for me :d
Don't kill the beauty 😉
Yeah, that struck a nerve ;)
Selling art prints online is nice but scrolling back up and pressing the like button is even nicer.
might have forgotten good reminder m8

Wow, thank you! That's way too kind of you Konna. Cheers
Thank you for addressing this! A lot of people don't talk about this step in their journey.
You're welcome Resdolo. Trying to help out by sharing everything as transparant as possible. Glad you noticed.

Thank you so so much! I'm so lost in my art journey, But your videos helped me alot! I'm releasing my website soon thanks to you!
Glad I could help! Let me know when your website is ready.
LOVE your ideas! No one really talking like this. Personalized prints..awesome. What print on demand company do you recommend in the US? Thank you.
I'm so glad I started printing my own large format prints. I know that's not for everyone, but it is the absolute best way.
hey using what to print them exactly if i may ask? @Nitrobuz Ae
Which printer are you using?
You are the king of kings. L'et's go large format prints;
Good video. I am learning! I just stumbled upon your channel, and I will be watching more. Thank you for your hard work, and generous sharing.
I've been considering selling embellished prints. This helped make up my mind on that. Thank you.
You're welcome Jenn. Always love to read your comments. Have a great lockdown weekend.
Artists have to become Instagram models and shipping and handlers, start there own museums :(
Haha... Oh I never said the business model of being an artist is a smart choice haha

I appreciate that!
You covered all the concerns i have about selling prints- thank you!
Glad it was helpful Nancy! If you have any further questions... Let me know :)
Thanks Dries...good stuff to know about ❤

Hi Dries, where is the best place to start an online gallery? First time watcher and you seem to be a most helpful to my way of thinking.
you understand me so well! i am not organized and i’m lazy. i only want to make art. yes yes! all that you say.

Good video but which POD service has the best quality I’m having a hard time finding other ones besides Prinful ?
Did you se my video 6 best print on demand sites for artists
@@driesketels apparently not .
My perspective is that my art has one function. To improve the quality of life for the ones that experience it and thru them to others.
Sounds like a nice perspective.

How does an artist know if print on demand is honest? What's to keep them from selling 100 prints but only paying the artist for 50 or less?

@@driesketels Be so busy in making money that you take 7 months to reply -Dries
You can digitize your signature quite easily. What you're saying makes no sense.
Take a look at the sales records of high end auction houses to see how digitized signatures are performing compared to normal signatures
@@driesketels completely different demographic and not the moms & pops you're pitching to. Those buyers are much more discerning.
I'd feel ripped off if I paid for something that claimed to be a signed piece, but in reality just had something the equivalent of a digital watermark.
Did I just wait nine minutes for you to dis printify and then not offer a better option? Ayeeee. What service do you recommend then?
Depends on what you're printing but for most things at the moment it will be Printful.
meh. you can buy a nice printer, some good paper and sell prints easily...flat envelopes with a cardboard to keep it from folding. done.
Good tip!
Forget art prints. Replicate your old paintings & charge more.
If those have been proven to sell I think it's a great strategy indeed.
Hi Dries
I am a recent college graduate in fine arts. I have sold some of my Lino prints to friends and people on the street while busking during this Summer. I am eager to start selling online.
Tomorrow I have an appointment with a business start-up adviser in a local community office. I have so much to learn as I am not yet confident in using online platforms safely. This lady will help me to set up a web page and link it to my instagram account (which I managed to set up on my own recently). She will also give me advise on using other platforms such as Facebook etc.
Would you have any advice on other sites or platforms or anything else that I-as a beginner-should know and ask about when I go into this meeting? The lady is very willing to help me but she is not an artist and does not have -if any-experience in helping beginners in this trade.
I have been watching your videos all Summer and love your wisdom, sincerity, and experienced authenticity. I would be happy with any advice you think important for a complete online novice like me, and sincerely thank you in advance for any time you may wish to spend in replying.
