In this comprehensive class, we will learn the ins and outs of selling your art, craft, design, or specialty online with maximum profits to you.
We will explore a variety of sales platforms and see how we can use them for our work. Each system has a series of benefits and drawbacks (most importantly, price.) Our way will ensure we get the most money possible into our account.

We will walk through how to figure out your shipping costs, taxes, commission fees, and many other factors.
