8 Websites to Get Money as an Artist
Selling art in the digital world is becoming more popular than ever amongst creators. Many platforms out there, however, are not recognised, and artists are losing out on potential sales. We’ve put together a list of some websites you can use to sell your art, boost sales and connect with others around the world…
1. Fiverr
Fiverr is a great platform to be able to get quick commissions for your artwork. While in the past you could only charge a ‘fiver’ for your work (hence the name), now artists can set their own prices. If you’re looking to get a bit of extra money, Fiverr might be the site for you!

5. SuperRare
Founded in 2017 by John Crain, SuperRare is a digital art trading site, which converts artwork into cryptocurrency. Although there is an application process, it is well worth applying for. Artworks sell for thousands, and, as it is a relatively new site, it would be advisable to go for it now, before it really starts to take off…
