    Hello,
    For quite some time I have loved drawing cars and recently I thought why not give it a shot and sell some drawings via a webpage.
    So I got a pretty good domain name which is www.autodrawings.net , and I uploaded some drawings and done a little bit of everything. Still its not all done and print prices are not fully decided yet.

    Now I need advise from you pros. Is this a good idea, to sell drawings online? The keywords I will work for is Car drawings is this right or wrong? What about my print prices? What else is wrong or should I do?

    Thanks so much

    Regards from Sweden,
    Lukas

    Sounds like a pretty neat plan to me.

    Don't limit yourself to one phrase. Build a dedicated page for each phrase you optimize for.

    You can also sell some on eBay and draw traffic to your site like that, using eBay as a marketing tool.

    good plan indeed.
    I think not too many people search for that term though ..
    so you may try some other forms of advertising, like buying banners on related sites :)

    Looks like a neat idea. Best of luck to you. Car drawings looks like a decent keyword to focus upon. You could also focus on " Car sketches". Sketches and drawings are the keywords I think, which an car and art enthusiast would like to buy.

    Some of your drawings do look good, have to complement you on your skill.
    "
    Buy three A5 or A3 prints and get the forth for free!".
    Shouldn't the forth be fourth :)

    When you send the print, also send the same one in postcard format, birthday etc.. So your client can send it to his friends/associates. It will have your website address on it as a marketing gimmick.

    Why not give it a shot if you love doing it :) I checked out the website, you've sure got talent. The price seems right too, maybe later I will purchase one for my bachelor pad!

    You can also consider affiliate programs, though most cost a fair few bucks to enter as a merchant. A bit of negotiating and those fees can be wiped though.

    Anyway, I like your skills so much, I gave you a free link in my sig...

    Join something like Commission Junction, or share a sale. Other marketers will send you good traffic, if you make a sale you give the affiliate a commission. Can work pretty well.
