Art Business Course - Start, Build and Grow your art into a successful, full-time business!

via Skillshare

Overview

WHY SHOULD I TAKE THIS COURSE?

This course is designed for any artist who want to turn their art into a successful, full-time business.

If you have ever dreamed of creating art full time, I am telling you it can be done! And I am the one to help you do it. When you sign up for this course, you will receive hours upon hours of online video content covering virtually every aspect of starting, building and growing your art business. You will also have a powerful team who will support you and help you every step of the way.

I have designed this art business course for any artist, whether you are a painter, drawer, sculptor, photographer, digital artist or installation artist, etc. to help you succeed, regardless of the medium you use. It so frustrating to me that there is a huge lack of resources available to artists to learn how to start, grow and build a successful business selling your art. They certainly don’t teach it to you in school and when you graduate, those who want to continue to create art as their full-time career must learn how to do the business side of it as well. Without the proper education and tools, it can be a real struggle and take years to establish a solid reputation as an artist and a financially stable business. Well, I have good news, this course will lessen those years of hard work and help launch your career and bring in sales immediately.

Do you have what it takes to achieve your dreams? How far are you willing to go to achieve them? I work very hard every day to achieve my dreams because I know they are possible and once I attain them, I set new goals. I never settle for just-enough. I want to break through and see what is on the other side. I once had a well-known artist tell me, you will never get rich being an artist. I said, watch me! And it has been my motivation ever since to prove all the naysayers that an artist doesn’t need to starve, that you can actually make an amazing income. I am doing that just. And you can too!

I am James Corwin, a professional wildlife artist. At 26 years old I have built an incredible business selling my art that has allowed me to travel all over the world gathering inspiration and ideas for my art, while producing a 6-figure income. And I want to show you how.

 This course is an investment and it is my hope that you will devote time to learning and applying the principles and steps laid forth in this program. If followed entirely as I have instructed, you will achieve great amounts of success. Let’s take this journey together. I am so excited for you to start! I believe in your success and my team along with myself are here to help you succeed. So please, sign up today. Isn’t it time that you finally start your art career?
