I am the owner and illustrator of Gingiber. I have been an illustrator for 11 years and have successfully sold my artwork across several categories such as art licensing, wholesale, direct to customer sales, direct downloads, books, teaching, and more. I cannot wait to teach you how to do the same!
I mentioned that in order to make money from your art, focusing on designing for customers is going to be essential. We have to focus on taking our art and making it as powerful and as sellable as possible!
But, many of you were wondering about Art Licensing specifically. Is it REALLY a viable income stream? Who is it a good fit for? And REALLY, what does it take to break into a seemingly crowded industry.
Watch the VLOG above where I explain:
What Art Licensing is
and
The 8 Must Dos For Success, which are:
Make Marketable Art
Make a Portfolio
Share Your Art/ Brag on Yourself
Produce Art Quickly
Create in Collections
Play the Long Game for Income
Do the Research
Building Relationships
I hope you enjoy this VLOG! Next week I am sharing about the REAL financial overhead ($$$) of starting an art based business.
