Review of "The Thriving Artist"

Let me tell you something about this product that nobody else will dare have the nerve to tell you. As good as it is, and it’s darn good, you are still going to have your work cut out for you. Why? Because the arts are a killer way to make a living. They are the most competitive fields on the planet…hands down. Do NOT expect to go through this product and sell all your paintings inside of a day. It’s not that easy.

Having said that, if anything is going to prepare you to sell your art, this product will do it. The author, Steve Popkin, is an artist himself. A glass artist no less. Talk about a tough sell. And not only that, Steve admits that he isn’t the greatest glass artist in the world. In fact, he says he is quite average. Yet, he sells his art while better artists don’t. So you have to ask why.

The answer is because this guy, like it or not, has learned how to be a marketer of his art. Yes, he’s a salesman. I used to think the two things didn’t go together, but obviously they can. Anyway, Steve shares every secret that he knows about how to make your artwork desirable to others. Now, you’re probably thinking, why would he share his secrets? Why not keep them to himself? Hello…glass artist? Do you really think he is worried about competition for what he creates?

Anyway, the product is excellent. I can’t possibly go over everything in it as I’d be writing for a year and a day, but Steve goes over how to get name recognition, how to get buyers for a piece before you’ve even created it, how to do exhibits and almost guarantee you go home with money in your pocket…and so much more.

Steve has designed a system that he’s put together in 27, yes, 27 sections. No, this is not some light reading. There is a lot to absorb. But if you’re serious about wanting to sell your artwork, then you’ll take the time to go through this package. I guess it depends on how important it is to you. But make no mistake about it…this guy knows how to sell artwork.

Here is the site where you can check out what he has to offer.

Where to Sell Your Art

Selling art on-line is an excellent way for you to make more money, especially during this economic downturn. People are tightening their belts and slashing their budgets. Finding more ways to bring in money is becoming increasingly important. If you have talent and skills as an artist, then it is important for you to find ways to market and sell you products! It is easy to do. There are so many sites at your fingertips that will happily facilitate sales.

CraigsList Never underestimate the power of Craigslist. In my opinion, this is by far the easiest and cheapest way to promote and publicize your pieces. Whether you are a painter, sculptor, glass blower or weaver, there are people in your area who would love to buy a beautiful object that you have created. Craigslist allows for you to type out and ad and upload some pictures of the object. When using CraigsList, though, proceed with some amount of caution. Do not mail out your art with the expectation to be paid upon receipt. Negotiate and facilitate a way to be able to meet the individual in person and exchange cash. Hold true to the "cash only" mantra when selling your pieces via this method. I once received a check from someone for a piece of furniture only to find out that they canceled the check after they had taken my chair home!

Etsy.com Etsy is the on-line marketplace for hand crafted items. Although there are some fees involved, Etsy acts as an intermediary and has the structural software in place--via Pay Pal and credit cards--to be able to effectively facilitate transactions. With Etsy, you are able to upload information about your objects and pictures. Etsy is a fantastic tool, as it allows you to advertise many of your pieces of art on the same page. It is your own virtual storefront!

Your Own Website If you have the technical know-how, then there has never been a more opportune time for you to branch out and open your own on-line store to sell art. Your own website and domain name will only help increase your visibility on the web as time goes on. If you do not have the technical mastery of on-line sales, then consider using a third party solution, like Volusion.com. These are not inexpensive options, but you will get the attention to create a professional looking website that will help increase your sales.

And, when all else fails, there is always eBay!

Selling objects that you make can not only help you stay financially stable, but it may unlock the secret to financial riches! Head over to my website to see how I have successfully sold my art on-line.
