How to make money with my artwork?
I’m going to college in the fall and am looking for a way to make some money with my artwork, I mostly stick to illustration as I hate working with paint and most other mediums.
Also I’ve been delving into custom guitars lately, is there perhaps a way I could make a living selling the guitars I design? That and T-shirts are my main thoughts right now.
Any help would be awesomely appreciated
Hi-
One option for making $ with art is to sell it, and brand merchandise, too. Use the established system of sending submission packets to commercial galleries in hopes of getting represented. Of course, there are tons of galleries out there. So you’ll need to first compile the contact info, then sort it out and choose the galleries you are most interested in submitting to.
Low cost marketing systems and mailing lists like:
Mailingaide.com
are available to save you the time it takes to do the first part.
Sorting out the info and choosing the galleries to target is a very specific – and very individualized process. Mailingaide.com offers some links on its site to other articles and resources to help you do that, too.
Good luck and don’t get discouraged. It takes most people years to get represented. But, once you do you’ll have a dedicated agent showing, promoting, and selling your work – while you focus on making it.
