Welcome to Make Art, Make Money : Income Streams for Creatives! I’m thankful to live in an age where ‘starving artist’ is just a myth. Today, there are 100s of potential ways that you could make money from your art. Some of them involve monetising your artwork, some involve monetising your skillset. Some are active, some are passive.
If all of those terms are confusing you, don’t fret. You’re exactly where you need to be. Through this class, we’ll discuss all the options that exist for you to start making money from your art. The options are pretty endless – right from selling your art itself, to surface design, to licensing, creating digital products, selling courses, selling products like stickers and notebooks – it can all get very confusing! But there’s no one path that’s going to work for every single artist. Each of us is unique in our skills, our personality, our audience and their needs. This class is going to help you understand all of that so you can build an art career with income streams that work for YOU.
I’m a Gouache Artist and Surface Pattern Designer based in India. I love painting birds, butterflies and just about everything else in the natural world. I started my art journey as a hobbyist in 2020. It then became a side hustle, and today it is my core business.
Whether you just want to make a side income from your art, or you want to take it up full time, this class is going to give you the tools to start thinking about it in the right way. Keep a notebook handy, because I’m going to be sharing a lot of useful info that is going to help you carve out a path that works best for your unique situation and skillset.
