I'll be again to writing on Nomadi Digitali to inform you about it how I expanded my on-line enterprise, diversifying methods to extend earnings and purchase visibility and authority on the Web.
After having defined to you my expertise in Elance and on the Photostock websites, I need to discuss to you concerning the on-line sale of inventive works.
Most of the time, graphic designers, photographers and illustrators or basically those that cope with visible communication are, in essence, artists and, kind of all of them, at the least as soon as of their lives, have strive your hand at creating non-commercial inventive works, i.e. with out having been commissioned by another person or reply to a consumer's graphic want.
I strive my hand at this exercise simply to detoxify myself from buyer requests.
Working with out briefings or industrial restrictions is in reality a very stress-free factor: with my so-called 'inventive' works I’ve had a number of collective exhibitions and a private one, simply to offer area to this a part of my work.
Clearly these 'works', being probably the most 'misunderstood', are probably the most beloved (I’ve a drawer filled with them) so I’ve all the time labored exhausting to advertise them or, at worst, to offer them at the least some air by hanging them on the partitions of bars and artwork galleries or on my web site.
Promoting and selling your artwork is basically tough however luckily, even on this case, the Web involves our assist and I discover that there are at the least two benefits in doing so.
In the meantime it’s a stimulating exercise with which profit from the downtime that inevitably happens within the career of freelance graphic designer and illustratorthen they are going to make individuals speak about you on-line, finishing your skilled profile (a graphic designer with a ardour for creating inventive works is extra fascinating and full than others).
The place to Showcase and Promote Your Works On-line
To place your “works” on sale and on show on-line you need to use particular platformsthe place you possibly can 'add' your “inventive merchandise”, amongst others, listed below are some:
I'll inform you now about my expertise with Blomminga quite simple Social Commerce platform (in Italian) the place you possibly can add your works and promote them.

On Blomming you may also promote sculptures, crafts, devices. The platform works, and actually replaces, an e-commerce.
The primary 'entry' is free with a 3.5% proportion deducted from gross sales. After a while, Blomming reserves the proper to make you a industrial provide, proposing an annual charge and different circumstances on commissions to proceed utilizing the service, as seen within the 'Phrases of Service' that you simply signal as much as while you signal as much as Blomming.
For instance, a good friend of mine was provided an annual plan, below penalty of closing the store, at a price of 99 euros (8.25 euros monthly).
The preliminary free service is beneficial to give you a service and consider it with out preliminary investments, then it's as much as you to decide on how one can proceed.

For the subject 'invoicing and VAT quantity'I'll paste beneath what they write about it:
“As regards the tax difficulty, sellers are utterly autonomous: Blomming is a platform that acts as an middleman in the course of the precise transaction, which takes place between buyer and vendor.
The net sale of self-manufactured merchandise carried out on an “occasional” foundation doesn’t trigger issues with opening a VAT quantity.
Occasional companies stay such if works are carried out for a most of €5,000 per consumer.
Please consult with the artwork. 4 paragraph II letter H of Legislative Decree 31-03-1998 nr. 114 and artwork. 1 paragraph II of the Ministerial Decree 21-12-1992 for the classes not topic to the documentation obligation set out within the artwork. 12 paragraph I Legislation 30-12-1991 nr. 413 printed within the Official Gazette of 12-22-1992 nr. 300 concerning the exemption from the duty to difficulty a tax receipt”.
“Nonetheless, we invite you to guage your private scenario with an accountant.”
My recommendation is to search for info and 'ideas' from different customers of Blooming on the Web (for instance, on Fb there are dialogue teams for Blomming customers) you will note that the experiences of others will likely be invaluable to you.
I hope that this submit of mine has been helpful to you in stimulating your curiosity and pushing you to start out, or implement what you are promoting and your visibility on the Web! Drive!
