I was recently approached by a website called art-exchange.com.  Does anyone know anything about them?  They want to charge $50 to put 3 paintings on the site.  $350 to put up 20 paintings.  It looks like an awful lot of artists on there.  I don't know if I'll be a drop of water in an ocean! Any feedback would be appreciated.

In my opinion, most of these artists websites that solicit you and want money, are not good value. In fact many are a rip-off.

You spend your money in getting your own website domain and using any of several website templates and build it yourself to set up your own personal website.

Whether you do-it-yourself or use someone's website building system, you will have to spend a lot of time or money marketing it to get back any returns.

I spend mornings paintig and afternoons promoting my work, both online and off line.

I paint interesting people.

Thank you for your input.  I kind of thought it sounded too good. Too many artists on this one.  I didn't think that anyone would be able to find me.
