Starting an Art Gallery Online

Starving artists no longer need to starve anymore. There are many resources and websites targeted to help artists achieve a lucrative income online if they so choose. In my opinion, it would be easier to build an art career online, than lugging loads of framed paintings and photographs to your local art gallery, or library. So how does one go about starting their own online art gallery?

Free Online Art Galleries
There are many places to promote your art online, these are the best free art galleries that I have come across.
