Are you interested in generating extra income from your original art?

Are you interested in selling prints on Etsy without worrying about printing copies or shipping the products?

In this post, you will discover how to sell art prints on Etsy with Printful.

How To Sell Art Prints On Etsy With Printful

Selling art prints of your original artwork is an excellent way to earn passive income while waiting for your original art to sell, and it has never been easier with Print On Demand services.

A Print On Demand service is a company that will print a product and ship it directly to your buyer.

You do not have to purchase prints from your local printer or invest in a high-quality home printer.

You have to create a listing for your art prints, and professional services like Printful will do the rest.

POD services will print and ship your products directly to your buyer without upfront costs.

Several POD sites are available, and most provide similar products and services. In this post, I am going to highlight Printful.

Printful is a 500-person team spread out across four locations.

All prints are printed on high-quality products, and you can feel safe knowing that your buyers will receive high-quality products because Printful has their specialists check the quality while and after printing and curing.

They also cover the cost of any damage that may occur during shipping.

All future sales are dealt with automatically between Printful and Etsy.

Best Selling Prints On Etsy

The best-selling artwork on Etsy is the art that is marketed to the right buyers.

Do not think it will sell for you just because you listed an item on Etsy.

The real work begins after your art prints are live on Etsy.

If you want to sell your Printful prints, you must promote them to your target audience.

Unless you tell them, people will not know you have an item for sale.

Promote your new listings on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest, and write a blog post.
