I learned alot by trial and error but most by alot of hard work and long hours.

I began sharing with other artists and their friends and was led to creating www.ArtRave.com where artists could set up profiles as promo platforms not having to worry about adding links to other sites as some dont allow it. Instead I encourage cross promotions and have designed the profile questions to convert an artists profile page into their basic promo page and hub for all theri onine sites and activities.

With so many print sites online an artist can fill their day uploading art from one to the next in hopes of making sales. Some sites offer free stores while others charge an annual fee to have your own store, there are lots of other ways an artist can promote and advertise their art without spending a fortune .[lets face it how many artists even have a fortune to spend?]

So ArtRave has an observer membership which enables artists to join free and post their art into our free art only classifieds which gets advertised on other sites around the net. ArtRave also has alot of groups and like pages on Facebook specifically made so artists can post their art and links to where they sell art.

ArtRave site has many promo avenues to go down~ the ArtRave Mall is a collection of links to artists sites and shops all over the world and is a resource for shoppers looking for art and art products. Any family friendly artist with a store or website can be listed in the ArtRave Mall for only $10 a year~!

ArtRave Gallery is interactive in producing slideshows to share online in blogs, websites, permalinks, standalone pages and more, whille ArtRave hosts these shows no matter where they are embedded. A Gallery Membership begins at ONLY $3.95 a month and includes up to 60 pictures submitted by the artist to be promoted on their behalf and which they can also use in their own promotions and on their own websites as well as being listed in the home site gallery.

ArtRaveSuperCenter is a print on demand site with discounted printing of over 800 items and Gallery Owners are allowed to have free stores opened on their behalf and particiapte with ArtRave Promotions to sell their art and art products online

Do-it-yourselfer's save money as many of the features and tutorials on ArtRave.com are geared for such.The only time one might have to spend a little money is when they need ArtRave to do some of their work for them[this is only fair as there is no magic bullet to being online, it takes work - but i am here to help with editing and promoting and have some very reasonable package deals to help artists no matter how internet green they are. I do want artists to become independently capable of promoting themselves so will do whatever i can to teach them how~!]

At the ArtRaveSuperCenter main store pages I use my own art to make the various art products and while they are samples they are for sale as well.

Then in my artists section, there are links to my artist members own stores which are satellite stores of the main site. There you can see the exclusive works of each artist and the products they are presenting for sale.

if you like what you see, simply click and buy or continue browsing through our artists stores , if you dont buy from me, I am just as happy to refer you to one of my member stores as you may find what you are looking for at their store~! Check them all out - We are all artists and we are all looking to sell great art and art products to those looking for them.

Have a great holiday season and thanks for reading this :) Ave at ArtRAVE
