As an Artist, what should I do after I join?
Start posting and classifying your art and engaging with other members in the community. Share your art on your other social networks and leave the business side to us now and wait for you and your art to be taken to a higher level.
What type of art is supported on Socurio?

What are the membership levels? Socurio Artists are classified in 3 membership levels: Apprentice, Master, Socuriost. All levels of Artists are allowed to post their work, but only Masters and Socuriosts can sell their work in the Socurio Marketplace. Socurio assigns these membership levels for users to have an idea of who the Community is excited about and to better curate the marketplace.
How do I get paid?

What does Socurio cost?
Socurio is absolutely free to join. Only if you decide to sell your work, do we charge a nominal .35 cent posting fee and 5% commission when your art sells on Socurio. There are no monthly or annual fees. Currently, there are no posting fees through December 01, 2011.
What other ways can I make money on Socurio?
New initiatives are being developed as we speak. During the next six months you will see even more ways to make additional revenue through Socurio, allowing you to concentrate on your art!
Is Socurio safe and secure?
Socurio pledges to you never share your information with anyone and provide a safe and secure platform for you to confidently interact in the community though the most trusted practices available. Additionally, Socurio is a licensee of the TRUSTe Privacy Program. TRUSTe is an independent, non-profit organization whose mission is to build user's trust and confidence in the Internet by promoting the use of fair information practices.
What Socurio is not?
Socurio is not a photo sharing website or a place to tell your friends what you are doing every 5 minutes. It is not a place to sell everything handmade, it’s a place for people serious about their art and serious about experiencing art to collaborate and grow both personally and professionally.
Can any artist sell their work on Socurio?
No. Unlike any art gallery or community either on or offline, the Socurio Gallery is powered by the community, not one or a few subjective opinions. We revolved a community around the market place so that people active in the community can be rewarded in the marketplace. There is no way to buy your way to the top, you have to earn it with your involvement…and if you really care about your art and your community, you will have no problem with this. Learn more
No one is buying my art right now!
Don’t worry, give us a little time and leave that to me, and when I’m ready, I’ll let you know how you can help yourself and the community. We are launching a massive campaign to consumers in early November. In the meantime, be sure to read How to be Successful on Socurio to get a better idea of making the most out of your experience.
We are very excited about the next generation of student artists and understand that providing them with the exposure and tools to succeed are a necessary component to the future of the art world.
