This is a fun, practical and comprehensive guide to making money as an artist

You don’t have to be an expert at everything, but it really helps to understand how the different parts of your business affect each other.

First, we’ll start by getting clear on what your dream business looks like: figuring out what you want your life to be like and pairing that up to the different kinds of work artists can do. Then we dive into understanding why people buy from you and how you can use the strengths you ALREADY HAVE to stand out from the crowd. We’ll tackle goal setting, staying motivated, and creating systems to make your business run smoothly. In the second section, we’ll talk about where you can find clients and tips for sharing your work with the right people. In the third section, And we’ll dive into figuring out different ways to maximize your money and effort, how to price your work, contract details, and tips for negotiating.

If you’re starting your first art business, this is the class for you. And if you’ve already been in business for a few years, but feel like you’re not sure where your headed, my hope is this class can help you get clear on where you should be focusing your efforts.

Britanny Parcells

I LOVED this class!! Feeling very inspired to get going on my own business idea. I especially loved the first few videos where we were encouraged to research fellow artists that you admire and to think about what you want people to feel with your work. Great practical tips. Highly recommend.

Brooke is a phenomenal teacher! I am so grateful that she is a champion of others and you know that by all that she shared in her class. Brooke held nothing back and has given me the tools to start my business! Thank you Brooke!

Susan Maag

I didn't know what to expect when I started watching this video. I am a landscape architect by trade, but the principles of running a business as an illustrator are very similar in looking for clients, scheduling work, deciding the type of work I would like to do, compensation, and contracts. This was a refreshing perspective and very applicable to any type of creative business or career. Thank you Brooke for bringing the practical and productive aspects to the world of creativity!
