    What a neat twist on a hub theme! Well done :) Many an artist will sure appreciate your effort here in helping them sell online.

    Thanks for the comments However, you've lost me with the "hub theme" reference. I've been developing related lenses on Squidoo for a long time now - and they tend to be of the "all about a topic" variety

    Hi, I have created a website package for artists, which is a great way for them to showcase and sell their artwork online. If you think it's a useful resource, please share with your readers. Thanks! - http://artistsitebuilder.com

    Noticed that your section on merchant accounts doesnt actually include any merchant accounts. PayPal/Google checkout is a great option for a lot of artists as they start out but once the price of their work rises to where losing a sale could be costly, they should really find a traditional merchant account and not a money transfer service like google checkout/paypal

    In PA the state tax office advised to me today the following: If you are selling art online through a wesite, you need to register with the state to get a tax sales number. You must charge sales tax to people purchasing your art in PA. You must file state sales tax quarterly, plus file federal tax. (sounds exhausting and perhaps not worth the effort) I can't find anything online about taxes. Does anyone know the deal with taxes in other states regarding selling art online? Please advise. THANKS.

    My experience with CA tax stuff: Hi Ang It is pretty much the same in CA. I have a resale number too so I don't pay taxes on frames, paints and canvases. If I ship out of state, there is no tax but the purchaser is supposed to report their purchase and pay the sales tax of the state it is shipped to on their taxes. Kind of complicated.

  • EditionH Feb 16, 2009 @ 2:26 am | delete
    This is certainly a great resiource for artists who want to sell more online.
    The best advice I ever got from you Katherine is starting blogging. For me blogging is more than ever on the top of the list what an artist can do to promote/sell online.
