Tired of selling your logo designs in all of the usual locations, like Etsy, Zazzle, and Redbubble? When you’re an artist, these sites can become tedious and stale after awhile. Thankfully there are more ways than ever before to sell your creative work online and even do t-shirt printing online. It is not necessary to build your own ecommerce site, since there are many new sites that are geared toward fairly compensating designers and featuring their work in dynamic ways. These ecommerce sites will help you reach a much wider market and attract clients from around the world.
Big Cartel
Big Cartel has been around for over a decade, but it remains one of the most popular platforms for designers. That’s because Big Cartel gives you your own store with total customization. Data is also a major feature, since the website gives you tracking and social networking tools to let you do your own market research. There are free plans, and the most expensive plan is just $29.99 a month.
Creative Market
A popular place for logo designers, Creative Market has thousands of visitors a day, all ready to pay for your photos, graphics, website themes, print templates, fonts or 3D assets.
