Three ways to earn money from your art online

ZicoArt is one of the few platforms where artists can generate multiple income streams in one place — selling artwork, prints, and teaching classes all from a single profile.

🎨

Original Artwork

Sell one-of-a-kind originals — paintings, drawings, sculpture, mixed media. You set the price. The buyer receives the physical piece with a Certificate of Authenticity.

🌟

Limited Edition Prints

Upload a high-resolution scan of your work and sell limited edition prints in capped quantities. Each print is hand-numbered and signed — increasing perceived value and collectability.

🖥️

Online Art Classes

Teach what you know. Create and sell online art courses, tutorials, and workshops to a global audience of students. Teach once — get paid again and again.

Keep 75% of everything you sell

Most traditional galleries take 40–50%. Other online platforms charge listing fees, monthly subscriptions, and hidden costs. ZicoArt charges nothing upfront — only a 25% commission when you make a sale.

Platform type Typical commission ZicoArt
Traditional gallery 40–50% 25% only
Auction houses 20–35% + fees No listing fees
Print-on-demand platforms 10–30% of base price You set your price
General marketplaces 13–20% + listing fee Free to join
Subscription platforms Monthly fee + 5–15% No monthly fee

The best platform to sell original art online

Built specifically for artists who want to sell artwork online, teach classes, and build a sustainable creative career — not just post and hope for likes.

Fair Commission

You keep 75% of every sale. No listing fees, no monthly subscriptions, no hidden costs. ZicoArt only earns when you earn.

Teach & Sell in One Place

Very few platforms let you sell original art AND teach online classes from the same profile. ZicoArt is built for both, giving you multiple income streams.

Fast, Secure Payouts
