I sell on amazon and I’ll be very honest with you. Amazon is really not the place to sell your artwork. You will end up paying a ton for ads it’s not really worth it. You’re better off trying Etsy or even ebay

I second Etsy. That’s where I buy that sort of thing.

Hard to explain but on amazon it’s very hard to build up a listing. So it’s rather you sell thousands of a specific item because the more you sell and the more reviews you have the more on the top your listing will come up. EBay you can rather sell a one time item or something used because their system works differently.
I’m not sure if I was clear

I buy tons of art off of Etsy. Amazon is not the place.

I really appreciate all of you taking the time to help!
Would you recommend selling on Instagram?

If you have a big enough following you can post it. If you don't then it's hard to build that up.
It's free though just to post so doesn't hurt. I have gotten sales like that but not the high numbers

Etsy is for artwork. Instagram can help if you build a whole following and get influencers to post for you and you pay them

Not currently but I've heard that that's the best option in such a case.

EBAY is an auction so your listing is up for a relatively short period of time. If it doesn't sell, you still pay the listing.

ETSY is essentially a "mall" for one of a kind stuff - originally it was hand crafted stuff but they seem to have expanded into vintage and other non -mass market stuff.

I haven't sold on ETSY but I have bought unique stuff from them.

With any on-line selling, you should see what is selling and at what price.

Thanks for your replies!
Anyone have someone to recommend that I hire to help me start on Esty ? I realize I'm too out of it...
