Business Courses for Artists

Course 8. Profiting

Objective: Students learn how much money they are making or spending so that they can make an informed decision about selling art as a full-time or part-time business or to maintain it as a respectable hobby.

How do you make money with your art?

Is your art generating a profit or is it really an expensive hobby?

I understand. The idea of accounting can seem overwhelming and complicated.

However, if I were not tracking my sales and expenses during my first year as a full-time artist, would not have known that I sold $103,246 of my art.

How can you know how much money are you, or could you, be making with your art?

You have to master the realm of Profiting, the last of eight courses in the MAKING Art Making MONEY program where you will:

  1. Take as complete an inventory of your art sales.
  2. Take as complete an inventory of your art expenses.
  3. Keep your accounting current so that you can see how much money you are making or spending.
