The next step is to amplify the problem by explaining it in more detail. In this case, I would say:
You know how you excel at making art but then struggle with finding buyers and selling enough art to create a profitable career? And, how struggling creates worry about growing into or sustaining a full-time career? Too often good sales from a show, event, or promotion are followed by maddening dry spells.
Such fluctuations make enjoying steady sales, and consistent cash flow seem like impossible goals. Besides cash flow worries, inconsistent sales create often create unspoken anxiety. That is the worry, that is at the end of your career too few will know about you and your art because your creations were not seen, and your artistic voice was not heard. Legacy is a legitimate, real concern for many artists. Your career doesn’t need to work out that way.
The good news is there is another way. Â
Offer a Solution
Now is the time to present a solution. Here is my example:
Inside the Art Marketing Mastery Workshop, artists learn how to identify their ideal buyers and market their work to them, directly.
They gain the tools and techniques on how to build a marketing system that will produce results for the life of their career.
Rather than trying to use a cookie-cutter method, our artists develop a marketing system unique to them — one based on their needs and skills. Learning sequentially at your pace is how to accrue the skills and experience you need to create an art business that meets your definition of success.
With 24/7 lifetime access, you can take all the time you need to learn on a self-paced plan that suits your schedule. And, you can revisit the courses as often as you need. The mission behind the creation of the Art Marketing Mastery Workshop is to provide you with information and inspiration to guide you to develop a long-range, reliable marketing system. One you will use to sell your artwork regularly throughout the life of your career.
Learning how to establish direct patronage is our primary goal. By giving you the tools to find and connect with patrons who will buy multiple pieces, you lessen your dependency on galleries and other third-party distributors. The more of your work sold through direct patronage, the more control you have over your career. Owning and controlling distribution is your key to a lengthy and rewarding career as an artist.

Make Your Offer
If you don’t ask, you don’t get. I go straight to the details as I despise copy that jerks me around and plays coy when it comes to pricing.Â
If you are ready to change your life and career in the most meaningful ways, I encourage you to join the Art Marketing 101 Course today! It’s a one-time fee.
Check out the extensive curriculum. (Make sure you expand it to see the complete extensive training.) There is nothing like it available anywhere. You don’t have to use it all to get a tremendous return on your investment.
My best advice is to go through the lessons. That way, you know everything, and you can decide what parts to implement, and which to leave alone. For instance, you may have no interest in blogging because you don’t like to write. The reason to learn about it is you might get inspired to do something with it, such as create a Vlog (video log) instead.
Here’s where this offer gets even better. Just like the workshop, you get lifetime access to the Art Marketing Mastery Workshop private Facebook group. It’s a safe place where you can get help from hundreds of other artists and me. I use the topics options to keep track of helpful comments and threads on all kinds of questions artists have about marketing and business. Here’s an animated gif showing the topics covered so far.

The question is not whether the content and access to me and the other artists is worth the price because it is. You are only limited by how much you use the knowledge, contacts, and resources. Members have received valuable advice. Topics include writing contracts, avoiding vanity galleries, pitching grants, approaching hot prospects, creating artist bios and statements, and dozen of other essential issues.
The question to ask is how many times over your investment in this training you will recoup? Conservatively, I believe you will gain 10, 20, 50, 100, or more times return on investment for artists who implement the training. It’s a no brainer path to success when you take the learning and act on it intelligently. Follow the advice, and you will find buyers, develop collectors, get referrals, and sell more art.
Risk Reversal & Recap

In the final step, you present a risk reversal option and provide a recap. Here is my version:
You Can’t Lose!
Let’s keep it simple. Your purchase comes with a 30-day 100% satisfaction guarantee. If for any reason you change your mind and don’t want to keep the course, you can request a refund inside of the first 30 days after you join. I will promptly and cheerfully, (Okay, I’ll probably have my sad-to-lose-you face on.), refund your full payment. No questions asked.
I trust you can see that I’m an open book who likes to teach at every opportunity. My mom was a school teacher, and I know teaching rubbed off on me. She also was an excellent artist. Her work hung in the St. Louis Art Museum for a spell. Being a widow with six kids to raise ended any chance she had for an art career. Mom gave me a love of art. In some ways, every time I help an artist, I’m paying homage to her.
Thanks for reading this sales page. I trust you learned a few things. Please know I have so more much to teach you and encourage your serious consideration of the Art Marketing 101 Course. It is set up to be a 01game changer for artists who are ready to make a minor one-time investment into knowledge that when put into action, will pay major lifetime dividends.
