I wrote Selling Art/ 101 Rules as prerequisite reading for the eight-part, on-line business course for artists that I’m launching this year called, “Making Art/Making Money.”
Included in the book are the top ten rules of some of the artists who I have had the pleasure of mentoring.
Don’t take my word for it, stay tuned in the coming weeks for the top ten rules of selling art from various Artists Who THRIVE.
1. By embracing business principals, artists can develop their own unique creative enterprise.
2. It is essential to complete the tasks in the proper order, no putting the cart before the horse.
3. Valuing exercises are essential for coming up with your Mission Statement.
4. Blue Ocean strategies should be used to create a unique value proposition.
5. Consider what draws you to other people’s businesses and make your business attractive to someone like you.
6. Dream BIG!!! Most artists don’t dream BIG enough. Limitations come from not thinking big enough.
7. Creating a graphic identity comes AFTER a business and marketing plan.
8. Most people don’t really fear success; they fear the responsibility of what it takes to become successful.
9. Mindfulness is important to success. Daily meditation helps to quiet the mind. Presence of mind is important for business success.
10. Ask yourself: How can I serve others? Does this feel right? Does it excite me?
