There are three ways to support my efforts to help artists learn marketing so they can sell art comfortably and lead productive happy lives as an artist. The first is join my weekly blog as a subscriber. It's free. The second is become a patron of the Art Marketing Toolkit. Lastly, use my affiliate links listed below when you are going to purchase the artist resources I use and recommend.
Art Marketing News Is a Labor of Love
Helping artists lead fulfilling lives is my mission. I began publishing this free weekly blog in 2005 with the goal of teaching artists how to market their art and enhance their lives as artists. When you join my newsletter you'll get the 7 Essential Marketing Tools Artists Need pdf.
Help Yourself and Help Me Help Other Artists
Marketing your art is easier when you acquire skills a little bit at a time. You learn how to sell your art and operate your art business on your terms and timetable with methods that work for you. Our goal is to keep things productive but pleasant. That's what leads to a well-lived artist's life.
When you join the Art Marketing Toolkit, you become a my patron. You get practical advice and useful information about current art marketing trends and ideas from me in our private Facebook group.
Everything that is presented to help artists build their knowledge, confidence, and marketing skills is organized and archived there. You can access the everything 24/7 and work on them on your timetable.
Each week on Friday, there is a new live Zoom session where we talk about the previous week's PDF download. You can get your questions answered live or watch the recording on your time and ask questions later in the group discussion. It's only $4.99 per month with no contract. I made it affordable because I'm more interested in helping artists lead happy lives as an artist than trying to make money from them.
Resources for Artists I Use and Recommend
It takes a great collection of useful tools lot to build a thriving, active online business. I use and recommend these artist resources without hesitation. Most of the artist resources listed contain affiliate links. When you use them, I get a small commission, but you don't pay more. Instead of advertising, the company pays me to introduce them to new potential customers. Your support in using these links helps me pay the bills and to keep publishing Art Marketing News at no cost to artists.
