3 clever ways to make money with your art
Before I tell you a story about how a single work of art created over 15 years continuous and regular brings me $ 3,000 every year I'd like to ask a question.
Ever wondered how it could benefit from their talents in art so that could generate extra income for you and your family?
I have seen it as a veteran artist of 25 years, creating and selling art from around the world have sometimes been asked whether there was any way to sell my art that would actually bring me income long after I have finished the work of art.
Times that my income is reduced for any reason, recessions, the global financial crisis or just general market plunges have been testing times and have forced me "Think outside the square." After careful research, along with some trial and error, I came up with three surefire ways to make money your art, you are bound to help if you put them into practice.
# 3 smart ways to make money from your art
1. Sell your art online and have come royalties in the coming years
2. Sell your art tution to students willing to learn "how … "
3. Other people sell their art and art tution
So how is it done?
# 1 Sell your art online – Charging royalties for years.
This is my favorite Smart n # 1, since it is a reward that just keeps coming, for me personally Four times a year I get a royalty check for the work done over 10 years. This is a nice way to make lots of money from his work, but you must know what you are doing before it can guarantee success with this method.
Who will pay for my artwork? What are the markets? First you need to decide which markets will be interested in his work of art. Do you like painting landscapes? Or animals? Or cartoon characters? Cars O and bikes? Or naked? Or abstract? Or cartoons?
Each of the different markets that can be exploited by the royalties in the coming years. Some art dealers such as: puzzles companies, computer companies and mobile and desktop business housewares, are 3 areas to explore gold mine. Each of these markets are based on different fresh and inventive artists like yourself to reach more "PRODUCST" for them. That is correct, you are the creator of the product, are the sellers. That's how it works.
Let me give you an example:
Several years I was approached by a company in Australia Puzzle "Blue Opal Jigsaws" and asked if a work of art that had already made a former client that has allowed me keep the original copyright and benefited from, could be reused for a new puzzle they had planned.
After careful negotiations, I was offered $ 1,500 for some slight modifications to the artwork and a fee of 7%, payable quarterly for the life of the product.
I currently receive approximately $ 3,000 per year from that puzzle that keeps on selling and over again. I'll give a clue – is in memory / tourist class (this market never tired of buying your product, because they are a new race every year, as most people make great holiday abroad perhaps only one time in his life and what want something classic to remember your trip by) is the perfect market for a repeat of selling your product. You do not want to choose something that is contemporary if longevity is your goal, because it will eventually lose steam and disappear from existence.
Here is another example one:
Visit all Web sites of popular culture and make a list of the best people (famous of course!) and they create fresh cartoons (Google only celebrities and follow the tracks). Just have to be head and shoulders (face really – you will see why in a minute). Each worships a different subculture many different heroes and his mind in its space, in fact, MySpace is a good place to start. Know your market, think like your market and create what you want if them rather than you. Take a little time but worth it when you read this next sentence.
Each year, the mobile phone industry sold $ 7,000,000,000 ringtone dollars in tones call to young people around the world. The market has tons of disposable income (mom and dad are paying for housing, food, transportation and service) for who love to spend their time (also tons of surplus) with friends online and on their cell phones. Guess what they like to spend their spare cash in – "Funds." For those of you youthfully challenged readers are probably wondering what is a Wallpaper and why buy it?
A wallpaper a cell phone or mobile phone is the image on the screen in full color on the phone itself. The picture is small so a celebrity head fills the screen will sells better than a body, at least work to do (this is easy if you know the secrets to quick and fresh cartoon).
Funds are the next sales Download most popular (read: purchase of $) with ringtones cell phone so you can see there is a huge market. Yes I hear you say, but how sell to the younger lot is not the market saturated with products like this? Well, yes there is a competition like any other field, but only needs a small piece a very large cake to feed the family as they say.
You can set your own website, (more information on how to do this correctly below) and draw in traffic by giving away five free wallpapers to members who sign up for her weekly newsletter (which you send with your last "pay to" cartoons, which is what is hot and on the news this week, follow scandal websites tons of ideas here!) and observe the increase in revenue as its newsletter to increase quotas. If only 4% of subscribers bought his latest celebrity caricature of the week of 99 c, and has a list of 50,000 subscribers would be $ 1,000 a week better off.
Work once and get paid many, many times, now that's smart.
# 2 Onine tution Sell Your Art – Everybody wants to learn how.
Now the obvious suggestion is to launch a Web site and configuration a shopping cart and ready for success, but if it were that easy then everybody would be doing it right? Exactly, so that is NOT what they are goint to do. You will to set yourself apart from the pack and people queuing for tution and continue to pay forever or as long as his teaching of art is popular.
So how are you doing?
Everyone loves to see right? Yes, I love to watch others and see if we can get some tips on how are doing their magic, if it is a landscape oil painting in "plein air" drawing caricatures at a theme park, or the creation of 3D art fantasy computer programs. Whatever your inclination, if you have mastered their art then you can get people interested in learning methods of this technique so simple, it does not cost a penny.
A) Establish a Youtube account
B) To note the creation of their art yourself
C) Post Youtube introductory video lessons
Once you have published his work on YouTube and all other places of interest in sharing videos, view traffic of visitors come to your website for more information. This is how it works for me, as some of my videos have had 50,000 views in less than a year. That's a lot of targeted traffic for your site and the videos "full length DVD delivered to your door – for $ 39.95" or "ebook download $ 29.95 snapshot version. I personally have "How To … Products "that have been sold in almost every day since months and the best is the market is stable despite the economy than the opposite.
# 3 Get others to sell their art and tution Art!
This is also a favorite form of intelligence, make money selling your art online. Artistic creation as in example # 1 and then tution sell at # 2, a perfect to do this – to get affiliates to sell their works of art for you.
You see that there are whole armies of people selling things online audiences regularly on the entry to websites under their control. Most of his time is spent on creating content for blogs, in response to forum posts and keep the site up to date, so they have very little time to do what you and I – make art!
So those with site visitors web (some popular sites have hundreds of thousands of visitors daily unqiue) are in perfect position to sell their goods, their works of art commissioned his art "how …" products. I personally I have a long list of members who are out there promoting my ebooks that only get paid if they a sale. Now that's my kind of work force without basic salary, no vacation or sick leave to take into account only Commission finds for sale. Nothing better than that.
Using the example above present wallpapers for cell phone, you can go to hundreds of web site owners su – "This week the best celebrity wallpapers cartoon sellers and have sold to you in the payment of fees as well.
Limits of these areas are limitless profit and his crazy artistic imagination will do well to follow these three smart ways to profit from their art online.
