What's the real problem if I've created good art but nothing is selling?

You don’t have a website problem or an art quality problem—you have a marketing problem. Nobody has a website problem. You could have the perfect website that looks exactly like an art gallery with all the right features, but if no one comes to it, nothing changes in your business. The work must get out into the world and in front of eyeballs. You’ll never know if there’s market demand until you start marketing consistently. Some artists create work the market doesn’t want (not bad art, just not what buyers seek) and need to pivot their subject matter. But you only discover this by taking your work to market and getting feedback, not by creating in isolation.
