Graphic designers often struggle to sell their own art. Either they don’t have the resources to print their designs, or they have a hard time marketing their works. It’s a problem that has been plaguing graphic designers for years. However, there is a site that has fixed this problem: Society6.
Society6 is a place for graphic designers to sell their work, and fans of fun designs to buy them. It’s fairly easy to begin selling; you simply join, verify your account, and you’re ready to sell! The process for uploading your images is also easy. You click the Sell button, and you are ready to upload.
Some artists are skeptical of Society6 for a few reasons. The first is their rights to their artwork. S6 states that even after uploading your designs, you control the rights to all of your pieces. People also tend to be concerned about the quality of their pieces, but you can easily find the pixel dimensions for a general art print, as well as the dimensions for some specialty objects.
Furthermore, you have the ability to choose which products you sell your designs on. If you only want to sell art prints, that is completely fine. If you want mugs, tapestries, throw pillows, and more with your design, you can also do that. It is completely customizable.
Finally, Society6 allows you to set the prices for your prints. That is the price you will be paid if you make a sale. However, if you want to sell your design on anything other than prints, S6 has a list of how much commission you would make per item. No matter what you sell, you’ll get paid through Paypal at the beginning of every month.
If you are a graphic designer and you don’t have your works on Society6, I strongly encourage you to consider the benefits. College students in particular love this site, and they are willing to spend a good chunk of money to get the high-quality products S6 provides. If you’re thinking about joining the site, check out their Artist Bootcamp article for advice on how to make the most of your business.
