First things first. The latest and final Art Gush web learning installment of its 7 part Guerrilla Entrepreneurship series for creatives, has launched. It gives an OVERVIEW of the episodes thus far designed to equip artists with the knowledge they need to take on their art as a business. The next Art Gush undertaking will be a sequence of courses for the popular topic of “How to make “M” as an Artist.”
One of the big challenges that emerging or even established artists face is the “M” word. For some artists this word is unbearable and they have the belief that you are less of a creative person if you pursue “M.” That’s what the ArtisticPreneur Project is all about. Dispelling this myth by helping artists to not only promote their creative careers but also to even monetize their art online including uploading their self published music, eBooks, movies and so forth.
NYC Create, which is at the moment the official blog for the development of the ArtisticPreneur Project, looks at the issues of the “M” word in an interesting way.
The key of course is to build your audience so you have fans and clients who want to purchase your work on the internet. The ArtististicPreneur Project provides guidance in this area through its weekly ArtisticPreneur Newsletter that empowers you with audience building strategies. And since the ArtisticPreneur Newsletter works in conjunction with the online education site Art Gush (known for their 3 steps a day method), the free newsletter content provides bullet points of daily steps to take to achieve your ArtisticPreneur marketing goals.
Are there actual steps that you can use to be prosperous? Yes there are and for the next 6 weeks NYC Create is going to be revealing them in their new blog series entitled “How to Make Money as an Artist.” The first installment focuses on how to profit as an artist through education. Although the idea of teaching a craft you know well is not new, NYC Create gives a comprehensive look at this topic. You may uncover some fresh ideas in this article or maybe will reconsider those that you already know.
