I'm hesitant to take advice from an artist that primarily makes their money telling other artists how to sell art.
Fair enough. I remember at Art College the biggest challenge was that we were never taught how to sell our art. This lady after graduating sold $100k worth in her first year, and that, without giving 50% away to gallery owners.
I'm going in a different direction now but I may consider her approach if I get back into art.
Yeah like I said I briefly looked at it. I've encountered stuff like this in the past.
I guess what I'd ask is, how much of that art was something she actually wanted to do vs did to generate income. There's a difference between making art that has intrinsic value because it's different and unique vs finding some niche market to cater to and creating content for it. The latter is something I really dislike and reminds me of niche market tactics I used to read about from those guides on the internet that promise passive income.
