This can be anything from the minimum wage or it could be the hourly rate the average fine artist makes. The more skilled you are, the higher you can raise your hourly rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After you multiply your hourly rate by the number of hours you worked to complete a piece, add in the cost of your supplies plus the cost of your selected picture frame, and you&#8217;ll arrive at the amount you can sell that particular piece of art for!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-fie-callout-box has-pale-cyan-blue-background-color has-background\">\ud83d\udca1 <strong>Example:<\/strong> You worked 15 hours to complete a piece, and the minimum wage in your state is $9.00\/hour. First, you&#8217;d multiply 15&#215;9, and get 135. Then, add in a $45 dollar frame, plus about $35 worth of supplies. That totals to $215 for your framed art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Size Based Pricing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another method for pricing your art is using size to determine a dollar amount. Artists will multiply the height and width of a finished art piece which will give you the total square inches. Then, the artist will multiply that number by a predetermined dollar amount which determines the art price. This dollar amount is directly related to skill level, so newer artists might choose a $2-3 fee, while more experienced creatives will be closer to the $6-8 dollar mark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once that is calculated, you&#8217;ll add in your supplies and frame costs and come to the final price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-fie-callout-box has-pale-cyan-blue-background-color has-background\">\ud83d\udca1 <strong>Example:<\/strong> Your finished art piece is 6 inches by 6 inches. When multiplied, you get 36 square inches. Then you&#8217;ll multiply that with your pre-determined dollar amount, which we&#8217;ll say is $5. After multiplying 36&#215;5, you&#8217;ll add in a $45 dollar frame, plus $35 in supplies, and arrive at an art price of $260 dollars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"454\" data-id=\"21859\" src=\"https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/image-from-rawpixel-id-100159-jpeg-700x454.jpg\" alt=\"selling art on Etsy: A lady painting flowers\" class=\"wp-image-21859\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/image-from-rawpixel-id-100159-jpeg-700x454.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/image-from-rawpixel-id-100159-jpeg-768x498.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/image-from-rawpixel-id-100159-jpeg.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" data-id=\"21858\" src=\"https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/image-from-rawpixel-id-52128-jpeg-700x467.jpg\" alt=\"selling art on Etsy: A man painting in a studio for his Etsy store\" class=\"wp-image-21858\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/image-from-rawpixel-id-52128-jpeg-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/image-from-rawpixel-id-52128-jpeg-1280x854.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/image-from-rawpixel-id-52128-jpeg-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/image-from-rawpixel-id-52128-jpeg-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/image-from-rawpixel-id-52128-jpeg-2048x1367.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure>\n<figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption wp-element-caption\">Consider how you&#8217;ll price your work when selling art on Etsy. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<div class=\"cta-box mailinglist\"data-block-id=\"22552\" data-form-type=\"post_block\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wrapper\"><div class=\"col-md-6\"><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Get instant access to our Artist Onboarding Guide, plus can&#8217;t-miss advice for creative professionals, delivered right to your inbox!\u00a0<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-md-6\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<form class=\"kl-block-form\" method=\"POST\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"kl-field-email\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"fas fa-envelope\"><\/i>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<input aria-label=\"email\" aria-required=\"true\" type=\"email\" class=\"form-control\" data-inputmask=\"\" name=\"fields[email]\" placeholder=\"email@address.com\" autocomplete=\"email\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"fields[signup_form_location]\" value=\"learning-center-selling-art-on-etsy\"><div class=\"error-messages\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"kl-form-embedSubmit\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<button type=\"submit\" class=\"primary button btn-secondary\">Join now!<\/button>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<button disabled=\"disabled\" style=\"display:none\" type=\"button\" class=\"loading\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"kl-form-embedSubmitLoad\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"sr-only\">Loading&#8230;<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/button>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"anticsrf\" value=\"true\"><input type=\"hidden\" id=\"email_signup_session\" name=\"email_signup_session\" value=\"cfdac3e9cc\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wp_http_referer\" value=\"\/learn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21848\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/form>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"add-a-framed-option-to-your-etsy-store\">Add A Framed Option To Your Etsy Store<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you begin selling art on Etsy, you could offer digital files or art prints. It&#8217;s inexpensive and generally easy to manage. However, you&#8217;ll be competing against millions of other sellers offering the same thing. Let&#8217;s explore why offering a framed version of your art is a smart business move:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Additional Revenue:<\/strong> You can charge a higher markup for your art or photographs if they\u2019re framed which means you\u2019ll get additional revenue with each piece sold.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Perceived Value:<\/strong> You\u2019ll get more sales with framed art as customers associate it with a higher perceived value meaning they\u2019ll be willing to spend more for your art.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fewer Purchasing Barriers:<\/strong> When purchasing prints, a customer also has to take framing and matting into account which may cause them to move on to pre-framed options. If you offer a framed version, it\u2019s one less barrier your customer has to consider.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Differentiation:<\/strong> Adding framed art helps you stand out from countless other sellers, leading to your artwork getting noticed (and sold) more.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Bragging Rights:<\/strong> Our frames are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/reasons-our-framing-service-is-eco-friendly\/\">eco-friendly<\/a> and our packaging is fully recyclable, which means you can brag about it in your product descriptions!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-fie-callout-box has-pale-cyan-blue-background-color has-background\">\ud83d\ude80 <strong>Want to learn more about framing for your Etsy store?
