Success selling art prints online is rarely about talent alone. This article breaks down the habits, decisions, and systems that separate struggling artists from those who build sustainable print businesses on Etsy and Shopify with FinerWorks as their fulfillment partner.

Pricing art prints is one of the most difficult challenges artists face when selling online, especially on marketplaces like Etsy or through independent Shopify stores. Many sellers worry that pricing too high will drive buyers away, while pricing too low often leads to thin margins and frustration.

Selling art online has never been more accessible, but building a profitable and sustainable art business is a different challenge altogether. Many artists successfully launch print-on-demand (POD) stores, make a few sales, and then stall. The difference between a hobby store and a long term business usually comes down to strategy rather than talent.

In recent months, many Etsy sellers have publicly shared that they have experienced new or increased difficulties they believe are tied to Etsy’s updated policies and their enforcement, particularly around the Creativity Standards.

What a journey 2025 has been! As we look back on a year of incredible art and partnership, we hope it was a fantastic year for you, too.

Bleed in printing refers to the area of an image that extends beyond the final trim edge (the cut line) of the printed piece. It’s used when you want images, colors, or backgrounds to go all the way to the edge of the sheet or page.
