Yessy and Sales

I have been using the Yessy gallery since 2001, and I find it to be a great tool for sales. One can also say it's a good place to meet other artists who share the same quest. My work is mainly Abstracts which is created in Photoshop, and printed on canvas with frame. For a good while sales were doing OK all the way to the end of the summer of 05 and now nothing is moving, not even in street sales. Could it be my style of art has come and gone? Or is the economy that bad? Only time will tell which way to push the mouse. My gallery in Yessy is www.yessy.com/potillo If you like abstracts you might like my style. I also show art on my website www.larrysplaces.com this is a fun site with tutorials links of other adobe artists, and books. If you have read to this point you are probly wondering where i'm going with this.
There is a time when we artists must make up our minds. Is our art a commodity or Expression. As I said before Yessy is a great tool to show our work, but we must do all of the work as far as selling. I started this task by given out custom Business Cards that advertise my art in the yessy gallery. The best thing about this is I had this all done for FREE. On my website, in the Mall page I placed the banner of this printing company. Sure the banner reads $9.99 but when you click on the banner you will find that your first 250 cards are FREE, with no strings attach. I have placed orders for many other items and only paid for shipping. Its beats me how this company is making there money.

Very useful info I was wondering what could be done to help elevate my sales. I'll try the business cards route again. I did stop after awhile.
