Success Came Sooner

When I signed up with my on-line art business in February 3rd, 2008, I prepared myself for a long wait before my on-line business would pick up its pace. In fact, I was thinking of something like 6 months of starving period. However, about a month after opening my on-line store, I started selling. Actually, I spent several months prior to my opening of the store on researching on how to do it. I have to tell you that it was very, very stressful to learn about on-line business. BoundlessGallery.com, the unique Illinois based on-line business that allows artists sell art directly to collectors, was my answer. What I quickly realized was the fact that just listing items there is not adequate to have a result in terms of sales.

Although it’s a history now, every day I am surprised to know there are new applications and services on Internet. And tomorrow, I will be finding out about new applications that I need to learn about. It’s very exhausting. MySpace, Facebook, and other thousands of networking tools are overwhelming to keep up with. But I do believe that if you don’t exist in Internet community, then you really don’t exist, if you are doing business on-line.

I feel better with the sales I made, but I still have to work very hard to market my art. On-line marketing really consists of eye strains/fatigue by looking at a computer monitor all day long.
