How to Make Money From Your Art

stevepavlina.com/blog/2011… Put the time in to be better than the 99%. You have to make some money, but it’s not the end-all be-all. That means making art that people like, and being able to market and sell it.

Being on the inside is better than being on the outside. Learn to deal with criticism. Publish or perish – don’t try to revive dead projects, just move on and keep creating! Value your customers and your fans, but value your customers especially – they are your financial base.

You have to find your balance for each of the aspects of being an artist – finance, networking, fans, customers, and the actual action of art, but if you can make the art and good financial decisions, being a financially successful artist IS possible.
