Cheap Paintings

I have set up an online art gallery and I am now offering commissions how can I promote myself better online?

Let me clarify ; I have an etsy store www.ebell1.etsy.com I have a deviant art gallery www.ebell1.deviantart.com I also have a cafe xpress store http://www.cafepress.com/seastarsdesigns/3020348 I also have a myspace page http://www.myspace.com/zeck1girl How do I drive more traffic to these sites?

1. Sounds wierd, but the thing to do these days is to get a MySpace page for your work - and keep it soley for your artwork. My spouse read an article about myspace becoming the new thing for people with alternative businesses- like mine, and like yours. Artists, burlesque dancers, models, drag queens, costumers, mucisians, indy film companies - tons of these folks on MySpace anymore. Also consider etsy.com and findy.com To drive more traffic to them? You have to go out and recruit it, at least on myspace. Find people who have interest in your art, add them to your friends list. I've had to do that - I've found people who might be interested in my product added them, and it's actually gotten me some business.
2. Pin's suggestion about getting a Myspace page is a good one. You might also consider a Deviantart gallery. They make great exposure (especially since you can pay $20 or so to have them display an ad for your site on DA). Try posting at art forums and whatnot... but whatever you do, I suggest putting a watermark symbol on any art you post online. There are nasty folks who will gladly steal your work for their own use. Good luck! :)
3. I love your style. I would suggest you go to Epilogue and apply to have a gallery there.
