For Drew and I, we were told many years ago, "Never work with your spouse..." and then another time, "Don't ever license your art..." and then another time, "Don't make prints of your art." All of these things are what helped us create success in the business of art. I'm so glad we didn't listen to this advice! How About You? Share below!

Fellow artists! 🎨 I'm considering switching my e-commerce site from OpenCart to Shopify. Curious about your experiences! Do you use Shopify? What are your approximate running costs? I'm drawn to its seemingly better integration options. As a long-time OpenCart user, I'd love to hear your thoughts before making the leap. Any insights on how it's impacted your art business? Thanks in advance! https://www.amandadagg.com/

Day 30: Reflection & Craft Your Elevator Pitch We’ve made it to the final day! Congratulations!! Give yourself a big tap on your back! The challenge wasn't easy so you can be proud of yourself! Today’s Focus: 1. Reflect on Your Journey - List 3 good things that came out of this challenge for your personal growth - Also list 1 thing you now know you need to work on 2. Create Your 3-Sentence Elevator Pitch - Summarize your art introduction from day 27 to 3 clear sentences that describe your art and who it is for. - Example: “I create sculpture like artworks that captures the feeling of abundance and living a life of your dreams, perfect for people who believe in the law of attraction.” - You can then use this to introduce your art in live when people ask you what you do or even send it to people. It’s much more interesting than just “I am an artist” :D  Bonus Action: Send Your Pitch to one person and include a link so they can see your art (could be per Email, whatsapp, facebook, instagram etc) Share in the Comments: - What are 3 good things that came out of this challenge for your personal growth? - What is 1 thing you now know you need to work on? - Share with us your elevator pitch too Well done guys! Even if you couldn't finish every task you can still be proud of yourself! Make sure to celebrate yourself today!

Day 29: Push for the Finish Line: Double Down on Outreach We’re almost at the end! With just a couple of days left, today is all about maximizing your outreach. Let’s make a strong push by reaching out to more people and increasing your chances of closing those sales. Consistency is the name of the game! Today’s Focus: 1. Send 10-15 New Messages - It’s time to step it up! Reach out to 10-15 potential buyers, past collectors, or anyone who has shown interest 2. Follow Up with a Friendly Reminder - If someone showed interest but hasn’t followed through, send them a warm, friendly reminder. It’s a great way to gently encourage action without being pushy. 3. Highlight Any Special Offers  - If you have ongoing offers or limited pieces, let them know (for me it’s the new series “Symphony of Hope”) - Create excitement without pressure by highlighting why now is a great time to buy. For example I will increase the price of each of the paintings once I’ve sold 4 - that creates urgency (just an idea to play with) NOTE: We'll use the draft about your art tomorrow. Share in the Comments: - How many messages did you send today? - Any new leads or sales? You’re so close to the finish line! Let’s keep the momentum going strong and wrap up this challenge with confidence. 🎨💪
