Smart Strategies for Artist Income Growth with Monique Carr (ep. 193)

It's possible to make more money and find a little more peace of mind by making a few tweaks in how you approach your art business.

In this episode of The Art Biz, host Alyson Stanfield talks with Monique Carr about how she has done it.

When she reached out to Alyson a couple of years ago for a private coaching partnership, Monique was aiming for doing half the work, making twice the money, and having fun in whatever she did.

She's not quite at the twice the money part, but things have definitely improved—like increasing her email list by about 250% in two years. Embracing online teaching at the beginning of Covid has been a game-changer.

In this conversation, Monique shares her income streams, how she uses her email list, and how she was motivated to do a Black Friday sale after working on her money plan with me and noticing that her gallery sales were down for the year.

Monique takes action without complaining—figuring out what needs to be done and doing it. You'll be inspired by her story.
