So I had my website what now?

Well the website was up and I had made my first sale. But I did not have the expertise to make this website be found on Google and other search engines so what wa sthe next step. I decided to sign up with other sites that let you display some work and to also add a link to my own site. I was surprised to find that there are many of them out there. Some of them are free some make a small charge. Having earned enough to pay for my web for a year i decided to make a small investment into one or two of those sites. Having done so I was surprised to see the sale of two paintings in the USA. Now I had not thought of that. Success but also a whole load of things I had not thought about that I had to contend with.
