MakeArt – Frequently Asked Questions

What is MakeArt?

MakeArt is an online platform that empowers creative people to set up their own shops, sell handmade or original products, offer digital downloads, run workshops, and create their own learning content.

Who can use MakeArt?

Anyone with a creative skill or wanting to learn — including artists, crafters, designers, musicians, educators, and makers — can join MakeArt. Whether you’re a beginner or professional, we aim to help you grow your audience and income.

Can I resell items I didn’t make myself?

MakeArt is focused on supporting original, creative work. We do not support general reselling of mass-produced or drop-shipped goods. However, you can collaborate with other creatives or sell curated kits that involve your own work or learning content.

Can I create and sell online courses?

Yes! MakeArt is designed to help creatives share their knowledge. You can create step-by-step lessons, upload materials, and earn income from your original online workshops or tutorials.

Do I need technical skills to get started?

No! The platform is designed for non-technical users. Our interface is clean and easy to use, with guided onboarding and free support to help you launch and grow your shop.

How do I get paid?

Payments are processed securely through our integrated system. You set your prices, and funds are deposited directly to your nominated bank account or wallet.

Is there a fee to join?

No. We only take a small commission when you make a sale. That means you can build your shop and try it out risk-free. We only make money if you do

What support is available?

Our support team includes creatives just like you. We offer live help, tutorials, community forums, and optional coaching services for those wanting more hands-on guidance.

Can I sell both physical and digital products?

Absolutely. Many users sell physical goods like art prints or handmade jewellery alongside digital offerings like workshops, downloads, or commissions.

What is the difference between a demonstration and a workshop?

A demonstration is typically where the artist stands at the front and teaches. While you can typically ask questions, it is different to a workshop. A workshop is hands on where students will participate in the course.
