• How do I choose an ecommerce platform for my artwork?
• Create a spreadsheet listing the most popular online selling platforms for artists. Make columns for name, cost per month, average review, best features, and URL.
• I have a website showcasing my artwork, and I need to find a way to sell art on my site. Where should I get started?
