Thankfully, pricing your artwork doesn't have to be a mystery, anymore! Inside this book, I'll teach you: 7 Factors that Determine Art Pricing An Easy Pricing Formula for Pricing Your Art How to Make a Profit on Every Sale 5 Keys to Creating a Pricing Strategy Why Fear of Raising Your Prices is All In Your Head My Biggest Pricing Mistakes and How to Avoid Them Plus you'll be getting a copy of my Art Pricing Worksheet which will make pricing your art super easy for you.

Discounts & Bonuses Every day that goes by you're not pricing your art profitably is one more day that's costing you the time, money, freedom and impact you were designed to make in the world. The longer you keep doing this, the more money you're literally throwing down the drain.

How to Sell Your Art Online by Cory Huff Pdf

An essential guide for artist that teaches them how to skip the gallery system, find their niche, and connect directly with collectors to profitably sell their art. For years, galleries have acted as gatekeeper separating artists and collectors. But with the explosion of the Internet, a new generation of savvy, independent artists is connecting with buyers and making a substantial living doing what they love. How to Sell Your Art Online shows any artist how to make a successful living from their work. Cory Huff dispels the myth of the starving artist and provides the effective business strategies necessary to make artistic creations pay. He helps individual artists find their niche; outlines the elements essential for an effective website; and provides invaluable advice on e-mail marketing, blogging, social media marketing, and paid advertising—explaining how to tie all these online activities into offline success. Most importantly, he shares the secret to overcoming the biggest challenge artists face when self-marketing: learning how to tell their unique stories. Every artist has a reason for making art, but can’t always find the right way to express it. Huff provides exercises artists can use to clarify the intellectual and emotional process behind their art, and teaches them how turn that knowledge into stories they can tell online and in person—and expand their reach through blogs and social media to build their art business. Drawing from the stories of successful artists, thoroughly describing how art is sold today, and providing tips on how to build connections personally and electronically, How to Sell Your Art Online illustrates the countless ways artists can take control of their creative careers—and sell their work without selling out.

Many mistakenly believe an artist can succeed with artistic talent alone. But Eric Rhoads knows that there are many brilliant artists who will never be discovered and never sell any artwork. Eric Rhoads is an outdoor (plein air) landscape painter, a portrait artist, and the world's foremost art marketing expert, having guided thousands of artists to success. He has founded numerous companies, and marketed both products and art. Eric is publisher and founder of several influential and nationally distributed art magazines and newsletters, as well as popular conferences and events.Many of today's most brilliant artists remain unknown.

It is Eric Rhoads' mission that artists no longer suffer this fate. This book will unleash your inner marketer. Under Eric's guidance, you will learn timeless marketing techniques that will allow you to live your dreams, no matter how lofty and unobtainable you think they may be.
