3 smart ways to make money with your art Before I tell you a story about how a single work of art created 15 years ago and always brings me regularly $ 3,000 each year I ask you a question.
Have you ever wondered how you could capitalize on your talents of art in a way that could generate extra income for you and your family?
I certainly like a veteran artist of 25 years, creating and selling art around the world have sometimes wondered if there was actually afford to sell my art continues to bring me income long after I finished my work.
The time when my income has dropped for some reason, recessions, financial crisis or just dips in the market in general, were the tests of time and forced me to "think outside the" square. After Extensive research and some trial and error, I came up with three ways to fire you make money from your art, which are related to help you if you put them into practice.
# 3 smart ways to leverage your Art
1. Sell your art online and have charges pending for years to come
2. Tion Sell your art students eager to learn "how ..."
3. Others sell your art & art tution
So how is it done?
# 1 Sell your Art Online - collect royalties for years.
This is my favorite Smart Way N # 1 because it has a gain that keeps coming to me personally, four times a year I get a royalty check for work done 10 years ago. It's a very clever way to make lots of money from your work, but you must know what you do before you can guarantee success with this method.
Who will pay for my work? What are the markets? First, you need to work in markets that will be interested in your artwork. Do you like to paint landscapes? Or animals? Or cartoon characters? Or Cars & Bikes? Or Naked? Or abstract? Or cartoons?
Each of these different markets that can be exploited to royalties for years to come. Some distributors of art are the following categories: puzzle, computer and cell phone wallpaper and taken to the house in three sections to explore mine. Each of these markets based on fresh and inventive artists like you to come with more "PRODUCST" for them. That's right, you are the creator of the product they are marketing specialists. That's how it works.
Let me give you an example:
Several years ago I was approached by a company headed by Australian Blue Opal Jigsaws "and asked if a work of art I did for a former client who allowed me to retain the right Copyright of the original and has benefited from, could be reused for a new puzzle they had expected.
After extensive negotiations offered me $ 1500 for a few minor changes at work and a royalty of 7%, payable quarterly in the life of the product.
I get about $ 3,000 per year from this puzzle that continues to sell more and more. I'll give you an idea - it is in the memory category tourism / (this market is never tired of buying your product because they are a new race every year, like most people that the great holiday abroad may be just once in their life and they want something classic to remember their trip) is the ideal market for a repeat sale of your product. You do not want to choose something that is contemporary if your goal is longevity, because it will eventually lose steam and the loss of life.
Here's another example:
Visit all sites from pop culture and make a list of the coolest people (celebrities, of course) and create caricatures of themselves cool (just Google and follow the celebrity son). They need to be head and shoulders (face really - you'll see why in a moment). Each sub-culture idolizes a different SRI.
