What is the best way to sell art?

The best way to sell art is in person, face-to-face. It always has been and always will be—it’s proven. The problem is you’re geographically fixed, you can only have one conversation at a time, and you need to sleep. Your website, email, and social media solve for all of that by letting you have conversations and make sales while you’re asleep, in the studio, or across the world. The digital tools don’t replace in-person selling; they extend your reach and availability so you’re not limited by time and geography.
