Hello!
I've had so many fellow artists ask me about different websites for selling their work. Generally, I only use my monthly Cat Gazette and Ebay once or twice a month. Any other pieces I sell to individual collectors. But I want to get away from Ebay and I thought this would be a good time to experiment with various sites. I decided to set up a full profile for both sites. First impressions; ArtFire is a lot of work just to start listing. It really makes you examine your whole business and goals, very thorough and exacting listing questions. Etsy was easier but a little vague in explaining how your answers were being used? I've just started, for the next couple of weeks I'm going to test ways to publicize and get customers to these two sites. I don't create many pieces a month so this will be a stretch for me, but I thought it was time to really see what our market is on the internet. Anyone have experiences with other selling sites on the internet they'd like to share?

P.S. Bear Pile seems to be picking up a lot more sales. Great site for teddy bear artists.
Hi Karen, I started a thread about Etsy a short time ago, and the topic is on the second page of this section if you'd like to have a look.

Becky,
I think your discussion helped me decide to try out different venues. My cats are always a little tricky for listing on different websites. They are not really teddy bears even though they frequently fall under the teddy bear category. That's something else I'm exploring, how to reach other audiences.
