How Do Artists Make Money (#159)

In this episode, I want to start a conversation about one of those things that can get in the way of feeling successful: Money.

In particular, I want to dive into income sources for artists.

Where does the money come from?

I discuss:

Why you might want to branch out and sell more than originals.
How to categorize your income sources so that you can better understand the possibilities.
How to analyze where the money has come from in the past so you can plan for the future.

✴️ COMING UP: THE MONEY PLAN

If you aren't clear about where your money is coming from, I strongly encourage you to figure it out. It's only with that clarity that you can plan properly for the future. I can help with that.

Soon after the release of this episode I'll be leading The Money Plan artist success workshop. Seating at the live sessions of the workshop—where you can ask questions and interact with other artist-planners—will be limited, and there will also be a replay available. But if you want to attend live, you need to get on the interest list. You can hit pause right now and go to artbizsuccess.com/moneyplan to make sure you don't miss it.

⛰️ The Art Biz is recorded on the traditional land of the Cheyenne, Arapaho and Ute tribes.
