I create art quickly and have piles of unsold work. I've tried galleries and working galleries but nothing seems to fit. What should I do?

The core issue isn’t about finding the right sales channel—it’s about consistent marketing to get eyeballs on your work. Many artists jump from galleries to websites to marketplaces to other ideas, but nothing in the business changes because they’re not doing the fundamental marketing work. You need to learn how to market your business regardless of which sales channels you use. This means having your art on a website, capturing emails, running sales and marketing campaigns, emailing your list, and doing this consistently all year long. That’s what separates a hobby from a business.
