Different options of earning income as an artist or a designer

There are lots of options to earn income as an artist or amp; designer. Firstly, let’s step outside of the art and designer circle for a few minutes.

Let's look at this example: Just say you really love to travel. What could you do to earn a living out of travelling?

Here are a few things we have come up with:

●Become a flight attendant
● Become a tour guide
● Run a tour guide travel business

From the above, as you can see, these are very different jobs. But they all involve turning a passion for travelling into income. If art or design is your passion and you live and breathe it, then there are many ways to turn your art or design into income too.

For the next 6 weeks we will take you through different options you can do to make money from your art or design. We will discuss each option and what it really means to you and your business lifestyle, so you can make clear decisions on which one or more options would be the right fit for you and your business.

Here is what we're going to cover over the next 6 weeks:

What is retailing?
What is Wholesaling?
What is Consignment?
What is Commission?
What is Exhibitions?
What is Workshop? and
What is Art Licensing?

Our goal is to help you decide which one of the six options will fit your goals and lifestyle. We want to help you get started and learn how to be successful so that you too, can earn an income doing what you love.
