What's the first reason my art might not be selling?

You’re not actually in the game—meaning you’re not attempting to sell, period. Many artists talk about why their work isn’t selling but don’t have finished, physical inventory they can actually sell. If you’ve never printed your work or never tried selling it, you’re not serious yet. You wouldn’t go door-to-door selling knives without bringing the knives. Similarly, you can’t sell art if you only have digital files or a catalog instead of actual product.
