Who buys art?
Who knows people who buy art?
How do I find people who buy art?
![Page 18: The Anatomy of a Startup. Justin Crowe, Founder Dizbe.com Justin@Dizbe.com.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d8d5503460f94a75dba/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Every time your “friends” buy art you get 10% of the sale credited to your account.
Every time your “friends” sell art you get 4% of the sale credited to your account.
Use your earnings to buy art, or for artists, cover commission on works sold.
