How I Started to Sell My Art (Part 2 of 2)

How I Started to Sell My Art (Part 2 of 2)8. Sept.16 Min.

If you caught the last episode, you'll know it was all about what actually worked when I first started selling my art. This time, I'm sharing the other side: what didn't.

In this solo episode, I'm walking through 5 mistakes I made when first starting out. None of them happened because I wasn't committed enough. They happened because nobody showed me the potholes before I drove straight into them, and because these mistakes are sneaky — they don't feel like mistakes while you're making them.

If you're making some sales but it all feels a bit chaotic behind the scenes, or you're just beginning and want to skip a couple of years of unnecessary struggle, this episode hands you the shortcuts I had to learn the long way.
