Red Bubble Art Website
As an artist that is also a Stay Home Mom of two little girls and is also homeschooling them I find that selling my art online on websites like the Red Bubble Art website is the easiest way to do it. It allows me to have such a larger audience. To go to an art show of any significance I would have to drive 2 hours one way and then you would not be sure how successful the show would be. Don’t get me wrong, I do love the interaction with other artists but like many, my time is very tight.
As a result I have found selling my art on the Internet rather rewarding. With my two daughters we are all able to sit around the table for the better part of the day doing home school and creating art. My daughter Marianna is eight years old and loves to draw as well. My husband that has worked with website development has helped us girls out tremendously by setting up our blogs. If you wanted to see Marianna’s blog you could go to www.MariannaWynne.com My other daughter Elizabeth is only two and although she has a website she is not working on it yet, lol.
So I have found the Internet a great place to sell my art. The websites that I get the most sales from is Etsy, Red Bubble and Ebay. In this article I wanted to share about the Red Bubble Art website.
I have been creating art for many years and now with the ease of the Internet I looked into how to sell online and many of the artists that were selling online had their work listed on the Red Bubble Art website.
To set up an account with Red Bubble is easy and free to do. As I am learning from my husband you always want to keep in mind how search engines index websites on the Internet. This is called SEO or search engine optimization and is very important. I wanted to make sure that I owned many of the important websites for marketing with my name, lanawynne. Websites like Twitter, Facebook and YouTube.
To get started on Red Bubble you just need to visit their website and create an account. This is like any other standard website requiring your personal information to get started.
Once you have your account set up I recommend that you go through all the options to complete your account as much as possible. You will do this by clicking on the MyBubble on the top tabular menu. After clicking there you will see a number of options down the right hand side of the page. They are listed as Edit Your Profile, Change Your Portrait, Edit Your Address, Connect with Facebook, etc… Taking the time to complete your account now will insure that you don’t start listing without your information being correct and complete.
Once you have the account set up it is time to start listing your work, which we will cover in the following article.

Thank you very much for sharing this information! I had not heard about the red bubble yet and I will check it out right away! It is very inspiring to find such a nice family! ^u^
I have bee following you for a while now. I really enjoy your work and we share the same art lifestyle and mom style.
My only question is why is red bubble different than any of the other hundreds of art sites out there. They all do SEO and operate about the same. There is just so much competition at them it seems like a waste of time. I do really well with just my website and EBay. I have tried everything else but, get sick of wasting my time. How many paintings have you sold at red bubble? Just wondering, Kori
Have you had a lot of success using Red Bubble? And I also homeschool my kids, so I applaud you. It’s quite a job, but well worth it! :D
I like the way Redbubble looks, and the quality of prints is outstanding. I see fewer sales from RB than from Cafepress or Zazzle, though. I don’t know if it’s the prices (some are a bit high) or what it is. Maybe it’s just me.
Chriss,
I am not familiar with Cafepress. I have an account with Zazzle but have not uploaded any of my work.
Will have to put that on the honey-do list (:
Thank you
Lana
Red Bubble is ok, more lookers than buyers.
I sell everything I put on Etsy and Ebay.
I am now moving into galleries and hope to be doing my own prints soon.
Homeschooling is wonderful. I have a 9 and a 3 year old and although it takes time and can be a challenge I would have it no other way.
Kori,
I have been in an evolution. I am working towards selling prints from my site but my work is going into galleries now and I have been approached regarding some commercial licensing opportunities. I have sold enough on RB to justify the time I put into it. I am also starting to add Fine Art to my Folk Art pieces.
It would be nice to talk some time on the phone and share ideas.
email me your phone number and a good time to talk.

I love Redbubble for looking around and show mine. Never happen to sell. But community is great!
Hi Stella,
I like the art you have on RedBubble. Art is such a personal thing and you have to have the right piece in front of the right person at the right time.
I have been fortunate and just today one of my works, “Different” was featured on the home page. I woke up and because of the feature I made numerous sales.
As my husband says, “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.” and so it just takes the right beholder to go somewhere.
I have a friend and it took her 3 years to get into 8 galleries. When she started her 4’x6′ paintings were selling for $150 at a flea market and now she is able to sell for $1500 in a gallery. Never give up!
Hugs,
Lana
I joined REd Bubble NOW WHAT? I haven’t really spent much time there. I’m a member of FAA and I suppose the same options are available.
Love your work!
Wow!, Carol! Congratulations! It is a good news! I will be so happy to have you as my Bubble friend. Now you have to download your beautiful images, one by one. Please, join as many groups as possible. It will give your art more exposure. Do it before you download your artwork, so you can place each image in many groups. Let me know if you have some difficulties. Hugs. Lana
I wanted to say thank you for this write up on Red Bubble. Their site has changed now but what a valuable post. I have seen your work on Red Bubble and it is wonderful. A unique style in some of the work. Great messages in them, positive emotions.
Thanks again
Angie
