Selling digital art has a number of advantages over selling physical goods. Digital products are intangible items that don’t need to be packaged and shipped.
Once someone purchases your digital product, all you need to do is make sure that the digital product is electronically delivered to the buyer. Usually, the delivery takes place via email or a direct download link.

Etsy is a great way to sell your digital art because they handle the delivery of the virtual files for you. When a customer buys your digital product, Etsy will immediately email them a download link. They also keep the download available on their ‘Purchases and Reviews’ page so the buyer can come back to it at a later time.
One of the best reasons to sell digital art on Etsy is that the costs are very low. All you need is some digital art hardware (a computer or mobile device is enough) and a creative software.
Adobe Photoshop CC is a great program to create all kinds of digital products. But there are also less expensive alternatives, such as Photoshop Elements and Corel Vector (for graphic design). Some options that also come with a free version are Canva and Pixlr.
But you can also create digital art on your phone or tablet, using Photoshop Express (free), CorelDRAW Go ($9.99/mth.), or any of the other apps for editing photos on iPhone and Android.
Some genuinely interesting information, well written and user friendly.
