If you’re a creative person with dreams of turning your passion for art into a small business then I’m excited to help you in this class to get clarity about the direction that you want to take as you get started on your business journey.

I’ll be guiding you through some brainstorming sessions to help you understand how you can define a path for creating an income from your art in a way that suits your values, plus sharing a few fundamentals of business to make sure that you’re set up for success from the beginning.

We’ll be covering:

  • Some business basics
  • Defining your goals
  • Choosing a general path to take
  • Understanding your customer
  • Creating a product for that customer
  • Choosing how you’ll market that product
  • Growing an audience on social media
  • Dealing with finances and legal requirements
  • Then we’ll bring everything together

I’ve spent the last three and a half years developing my art skills to become a digital artist, content creator and picture book illustrator, and I wouldn’t have achieved all of those things without having a plan and foundation for what I wanted to achieve.

It can be overwhelming to know where to start so in this class we’ll be taking things back to basics and creating a plan from the ground up.

I’m excited to help you plan out a sustainable creative business, so download my Plan Your Creative Business Workbook from the Resources tab and let’s get started!
