Yesterday, on our drive back from Boston, I asked Rose what is the most important action I need to take to begin selling my paintings in earnest. She has tried to help before, without success, chiefly because I am lazy with business, and somewhat because I hate business passionately. She told me to create a sales page on my website. No outside links to middlemen like Etsy or eBay. Don’t direct people away from the site to purchase. Also, make the buying process very easy, keeping the works uniform in medium and size, so shipping and handling is efficient.

Good counsel that I never heeded. She repeated it on the car ride, and then added that I should collect emails of people who have bought paintings from me before. Then, after I update the website to include a purchasing page, invite previous buyers to seasonal online exhibitions. Streamline the purchasing process within the show, and promise to have the work in the post by noon the next day. Ask prospective guests to share the link with interested parties.

I talked about the email list with Edgeworth on our special Sunday night podcast. He suggested we have a contest this week to see who can acquire more emails.

I want to win. However, I think it might be creepy pitching for people’s emails, so forget about it. I like you folks too much. You’re already such gracious guests to my posts. Don’t need to get greedy:)

Thank you!
