What should I do if I've never sold online and don't have a website yet?

Take two steps: First, pass the validation test by selling to strangers (not just friends and family) to confirm there’s demand for your work. Second, get your art online immediately — as quickly and cheaply as possible. Consider using a website builder like WordPress, or try selling on third-party marketplaces to get the validation you need. The key is to get started and get real-world feedback rather than waiting for everything to be perfect.
