Tammy Vitale – 7 Ways to get from “here” to “there”

In this post from her Women, Art, and Life blog, Tammy Vitale shares seven tips for becoming a successful artist. The post relates to a report available for download by signing up on her website. An excerpt:

“Hooray! The Report from my Artists’ Survey: The Business of Art is ready!….. BIG surprise from the report. The #1 one challenge artists face is pricing their work. Not marketing it, pricing it. And let’s face it, doesn’t pricing really drag in: Who am I to think I can sell my art? will anyone buy it? where will I find them?

Great news on that front! I’ve spent 10 years figuring out this thing about pricing, and people to buy and places to find them (along with a lot of other pieces of marketing your art to support yourself.) I also get the part about marketing that seems to make us feel a little bit sleezy sometimes.

The secret to escaping the sleeze? Keep your integrity! You can sell your art, support yourself, and keep your soul happy all at the same time. I’ve put together this great 5-day on-line course called Sell Your Art, Keep Your Soul: An Artist (that would be me)-to-Artist (that would be you) Thrival Guide to Pricing Your Art. It starts May 24. I’d love to have you travel those days with the rest of us!

Here’s a link to my interview on Art & Soul radio about the business of art where I share some thoughts on Sell Your Art, Keep Your Soul.

3. Persist. You are a hero on a hero’s journey. Your greatest gifts may dress up as demons to see if you really mean to continue. Unmask them!”
