Comment BUNDLE if you want more artist tips like this 👇🏼 Most artists don’t have a content problem… they have a numbers problem. If you’re not looking at your margins, you’re making decisions based on emotion instead of data. Here’s what I want you to start tracking ASAP: – What pieces actually sell (not just what you like making) – How long each piece takes you – Your true costs (materials, framing, shipping, your time) – What your hourly rate actually comes out to – Which offers bring in revenue vs. just attention Because here’s the truth: Not all revenue is good revenue. Some pieces build your brand. Some pieces drain your time. And some pieces are your actual profit drivers. Your job is to figure out which is which… and double down on what’s working. That’s how you go from “busy artist” → profitable artist. Comment BUNDLE and I’ll send you a link to grab my best-selling guides that walk you through artist marketing and sales strategies like this. #artistbusiness #artmarketing #emergingartist #arttips #creativebusiness

Not every artwork can and will sell. Assuming that ANY artwork will sell just because you made it and you love it is both delusional and insensitive; inconsiderate of people's reasons for buying. If you want to create art that sells, screenshot the tips I shared in this video. And if you have further problems or need further systematic knowledge on how to build an art business, monetize or scale it up, you're exactly why I built my new course: Monetizing Your Art Blueprint. Inside this course, I break down the exact principles I used to build an international art brand that generates consistent income. You’ll learn how money works, how businesses work, how to create sellable art, the art sales formula, marketing, positioning, and pricing. And more importantly, how to apply these ideas immediately so you can start making your first $100, $500, $1,000 and beyond from your art. Right now we’re opening a pre-launch preview, where a test audience can access the course at 50% of the launch price before the official launch on April 26. For just $5/#5,000 (instead of $10/#10,000) you can sign up early ahead of the launch. If you’re ready to stop guessing and start building a real art business, this is for you. Check the first link in my bio or comment "Blueprint" to get the link to sign up.

CLOSED: Comment MENTORSHIP to claim one of the final spots before I close the doors forever. You didn’t become an artist to spend 40 hours a week staring at a blinking cursor, trying to figure out how to sell your work. You became an artist to create. But the reality of a “successful” art career is that the marketing has to get done. The emails have to be sent. The social media has to be posted. Usually, that means you’re forced to choose: be a great artist or be a great marketer. For the past year, I’ve been the “secret weapon” for artists, doing the heavy lifting so they can stay in the studio. But as I pivot my focus to scaling my own art sales from $50k to $1M, I am shutting down the doors to this high-touch mentorship this Monday. If you join me for this final 6-month run, I’m not just giving you advice. I’m giving you the actual tools to run your business: Custom-Built Marketing Templates: You won’t have to guess what to say. I’m providing tailored templates for your Social Media, Newsletters, and Website Copy designed specifically to sell art. Monthly Strategy Meetings: Every single month, we meet to look at your business, pivot your plan, and ensure you are on track for a sell-out launch. Daily Email Support: You’ll never be “stuck” on a Tuesday morning again. I’m in your inbox daily to help you troubleshoot, edit copy, or talk you through a launch. The Scripts & The Systems: I’m handing over the exact frameworks I’m using to scale my own studio to $1,000,000. This is the last time you can get this level of done-with-you support. I’m stepping away to chase my own art goals, but I want to leave you with the systems that will sustain your career for years to come. I’ll still offer one-off sessions in the future, but the daily support and custom templates are leaving with this program. The clock is ticking. Doors close this Monday April 6th. #artmarketing #artisttips #artistadvice #artistsoninstagram #artbusiness

Most artists have never hit $1,000 in art sales. Meanwhile, a significant proportion are passionate, and create art consistently. This is to say that creating art doesn't automatically translate to making money from art. To fix this, you can screenshot and follow the 3 steps in the video😊 If you'll like to learn more, I have just finished creating my first ever art business course, turning 5 years of running an online art business without using a gallery into a system you can use. And this course “Monetizing Your Art Blueprint Course” is designed to coach you from making little or no art money to making consistent, stable, and growing art income all from easy to execute ideas and actions. The course itself will launch on April 26 at $10/#10,000, but you can join the preview audience and be one of the first to watch and implement the lessons pre-launch at just $5/#5,000. Additionally, you’ll also get: - 100 Profitable Art Niches Template (PDF) - FREE - First $500 Art Sales Blueprint Template (PDF) - FREE when you sign up now, instead of after April 26.

This post should be titled: STOP chasing sales in your art business. I know, I know. Everybody and their mom wants more sales, more money, more consistent launches with their art courses. “It’s just about pushing harder and selling more,” right? …Well, not exactly. I, too, know what it’s like to work hard, pour all my energy in my course, and wonder why it’s not converting. 🫣 But you know what’s EVEN BETTER than obsessing over sales every single day? Rooting yourself in service and joy. :) Because when you’re creating, teaching, and showing up from a place of “I HAVE to make this work right now”… people can feel that pressure. And when you shift into “I genuinely want to serve, teach, and help my people”… that energy is felt by your people very differently. The funny thing is, when you stop gripping so tightly onto outcomes, your content feels lighter, and people are naturally drawn in. And yes, I know… it requires letting go of the belief that every post and email needs to convert immediately. But which would you rather have? Constant stress chasing sales… or a business where people actually feel excited to learn from you? Here’s to building art businesses rooted in service, not pressure. If you want to see how to pair this generous energy with real course selling systems that actually converts, drop UNFOLD and I’ll send you my Artist’s Launch Blueprint free video walkthrough.

If you’ve already been selling your work but haven’t handled the “official” side yet, don’t stress; you’re not behind. You’re just one step away from leveling up. Real talk: If you’ve been getting paid for your art, it might be time to put some structure behind your creativity.
