One of the challenges for modern digital artists (especially those who have little business experience) is how to get your work sold. This is especially poignant since there is also a growing trend of AI generated Art potentially making artists redundant.
As a fledgling digital artist specializing in fractals and mobile app-based compositions and images this is an existential question. What can digital artists do to sell their work (in contrast to working as a staff artist producing art for commercial projects, video games etc.)? Having researched this I have decided to sign up with Society 6 and upload some of my images.
Once you register there is a verification fee of 1 dollar to pay (via paypal) to be registered. Once you are registered simply drag and drop the images into the browser receptacle and the upload begins. You have to have the right size image which means a lot of pixels.

I bought some stickers on Red Bubble by Steemit artists. I don't know how much they get from that
