Digital Artist's Portfolio?

I need some help to create a digital portfolio. I plan to make a living selling my artwork/paintings and one of the situations that I may face is approuching Art Galleries to hopefully sell my work. It has been suggested to me that a digital portfolio would be a good choice, a choice that many other artists have choosen and works. Unfortunately I haven't got a clue how to set up a digital fortfolio and do not have a relaible computer or programs.

Has anyone been in the situation I'm in? Would anyone have any suggestions on How or Where could I get one made?

Do you know any graphic artist's? If you do then ask one of them to scan your work and create a portfolio for you.

Use Elance to find someone to build you a website, than send your website and packet to commercial galleries in hopes of getting represented. Of course, there are tons of galleries out there. So you鈥檒l need to first compile the contact info, then sort it out and choose the galleries you are most interested in submitting to.

Low cost marketing systems and mailing lists like:

Mailingaide.com

are available to save you the time it takes to do the first part. (including a nice email list)

Sorting out the info and choosing the galleries to target is a very specific 鈥?and very individualized process. Mailingaide.com offers some links on its site to other articles and resources to help you do that, too.

Good luck and don鈥檛 get discouraged. It takes most people years to get represented. But, once you do you鈥檒l have a dedicated agent showing, promoting, and selling your work 鈥?while you focus on making it.
