Making Money as an Artist: The Nuts and Bolts of Art Licensing

Are you looking to boost your income as a professional artist?  Have you heard about art licensing but aren't sure what the heck it is?  Or, have you already started licensing and want to learn more about the industry terms and processes?  This class is [drumroll] for you! 

In this fabulous and fun course, we share our insider knowledge to teach you:

• What art licensing is
• Art licensing terms
• Deciding whether or not to sell work outright
• Beginner tips on negotiating for more money 
• The typical flow of working with a client
• Tips and tricks on client communication

Why take this course?  Art licensing can be an amazing tool for getting more money for one piece of art.  Instead of selling your work outright, licensing allows you to keep the rights to your work and "rent" it to individual clients for their individual needs.  In our course, not only do we teach you the basics of licensing but we also dive deep into the terms, payment structures, ways to communicate with clients and pricing in the industry. 

Taking this class will increase your money-making power as an artist, give you confidence to work with clients and ask for the payment you deserve for your work.

Who should take this course? This class is designed for any artist who is interested in increasing their income through art licensing.  Beginners, especially, will benefit from the class.  However, there are likely some things that even those well-versed in licensing can learn.

What do I need and what will I get?  Students will need a computer and internet connection to take the course, so that's easy :).  We will provide an email template, sample confirmation, and a list of possible uses for a piece of art.  Participants will also get to experience a "Choose Your Own Adventure," where we simulate negotiating a license with a client.
