It is an ever increasing challenge to get your art to appear in front of a user. below are some tips to help you with getting your art sold: Step 1 – Choose an art gallery that ranks in Google for your type of art, so for example if you sell “seascape oil paintings”, do a search in Google for both “seascape oil paintings” and also “”seascape oil paintings galleries” – you then really only want to focus your effort and possible money if they charge on the sites that appear in the first ten organic results.
