Our first "non official" art licensing deal was with Lost Enterprises, for Drew's art on tees. (Photo shows years of tee shirt samples!). It was non official because back then we didn't know anything about licensing, contracts or royalties. 🙃 Our deal was simple: Drew created art and the invoice was the "contract" - it stated that for a one-time fee they got to use the art for 2 years. 💥 QUESTION: What would you LOVE to see your art printed on? Share in the comments! 🔥🔥🔥 What I like about licensing art for tee shirts is this: you get paid AND they market your art to their customers. 😉 And then, their customers promote your art by wearing it! It's a double dip deal. 🍦 🍦 🍦 For over 25 years Drew and I have been making deals where cool companies get to print his art on their tees and other products. It's an awesome arrangement because we aren't great at manufacturing but we are great at coming up with winning ideas for art that makes things look cool. 😎😎😎 For years I've taught artists how to license art through my consulting. NOW I'm teaching an ART LICENSING 101 course. If you want to learn how to get your art on products, join my course! It's super affordable and it's taught LIVE (and you can watch the replay if you miss the live session). ☑️ TAP THE LINK IN MY BIO for the details. 😍 I love teaching this stuff - it's fun for me because I'm passionate about art and business and helping artists grow in an EASIER way. The more you know, the easier it gets! 🔆 #artmoneysuccess #artlicensing #licenseart #mariabrophy #artlicensing101 #onlinecourse #teeshirtdesign #graphicdesign #artbiz #artbusiness #sellmoreart #teeshirts #illustrations #illustrators #teeshirtillustration https://www.instagram.com/p/CNsTP-rnnXc/?igshid=ph8wodde5h1o

Directories for artists

Improve your backlinks Directories for artists are important for creating quality back-linking campaigns. The Value of Directory Listings Outside of DMOZ Free Directory – Arts and Humanities the value of a single directory link is usually not very great. Directories add value after you list in a number of them, especially if you are listing in high-quality ones next to other sites that are in your same vertical. If you have a keyword-rich domain name, directory listings will help you get descriptive inbound links. Most sites on the web only have links from a few dozen sites. By listing your site in a half dozen to a dozen quality directories and also getting links from other relevant quality sites, you can quickly build up a great linking campaign free or at minimal cost. read more Read the full article

When I first started selling Drew’s art about a jillion years ago, we made 💰💰💰 just one way: by Drew painting one painting at a time and selling it. 🔆 We felt fortunate that enough people wanted Drew’s art to pay him to paint their surfboards and canvas. And it was great, until…we had a baby. I quit my corporate job. And we bought a house. And then we had many new expenses that Drew just couldn’t paint FAST enough to pay for. 🙃 Painting one piece of art for money is sort of like digging a ditch for money – you get paid once and then, if you want to get paid again, you have to dig another ditch. 🙃 If you are TRADING TIME FOR MONEY, you are limited in how much money you can make. 🔆 AND, having just ONE WAY to sell art limits you even more. Why? Well, if you rely on only ONE way to reach your buyers, you will find yourself in trouble if something big changes in the world – like an economic crash ☠️ or a pandemic 😷 or something else that we haven’t yet seen. 🙀🙀🙀 Having multiple streams of income keeps your art business alive when the world changes on us. 🔥🔥🔥 I wrote a blog post on this topic (👆🏼 tap the link in my bio to read it) AND I'm doing Instagram LIVES every Sunday in April, talking about ALL THE WAYS to make 💰💰💰 with art and how YOU can implement Multiple Streams of Income for yourself. 💥💥💥 SHARE IN THE COMMENTS: How many income streams do YOU have now? And do you plan to add another income stream? And what are your QUESTIONS 🤔 about this topic? I'll be going LIVE Sunday April 4th at 11 a.m. PST / 2 p.m. EST to talk about this. Will you join me? xxoo PHOTO: By Jake Roth of @drewbrophy and I in our old studio about 5 years ago (or so....) #artmoneysuccess #multipleincomestreams #multiplestreamsofincome #artbiz #sellmoreart #mariabrophy #instagramlive (at San Clemente, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNF2_NbnDnH/?igshid=w9569ktyv7ed

A very British review of ART, MONEY & SUCCESS cracked me up! Here it is, as posted on Amazon: 😂😂😂 "I wasn't born with a business mind, much artistic talent or any inclination to surf. So this most Californian of how-to books that focuses on how the author went about selling her surf-loving husband's art should have rubbed me – a cynical Old World Brit who merely dabbles in water colors when he's had too much to drink – up the wrong way. 🏄🏻‍♀️🏄🏻‍♀️🏄🏻‍♀️ And yet, despite the odd mix of woo-woo spiritualism and crass Yankee commercialism (you have to emanate true love for other people before you can close the deal) I found myself, dare I say it, agreeing with her. 🔮🔮🔮 After reading this personal guide to negotiating the choppy waters of making a living through creating art I was inspired. OK, I don't have the talent (yet) to make a living from my art, but I do have the tenacity. Put a cork in the wine bottle, and get to work. Business and art don't have to be mutually exclusive. In fact, as you realize the further you get though the book, good art and good business go hand in hand. The bottom line? If you have any desire to make a living from your art, I recommend you read this practical, inspirational book. 😍 By: Patrick Sherriff" 😍 Thanks, Patrick Sherriff, for this awesome review! 🌟🌟🌟 #artmoneysuccess #mariabrophy #sellmoreart #artbiz #bookreview #artlicensing Photo snagged from @lynhinerart story! 💙💚👍

The Clark Hulings Fund interviewed me about the business of being an artist. Our interview is their most downloaded! So many artists crave this info. You can listen by going to @clarkhulingsorg website and click on #thrivingartist Podcast and then search my name. We discussed: ✨✨✨ Marketing an Identifiable Style: “The artists who make millions from their art are not the most talented, but they’ve hit on something that mass amounts of people really enjoy.” “Don’t go the traditional route of licensing, but look for opportunities where your art would be the perfect solution for a company.” “Tell clients your requirements and say, ‘This is how I work.’ Those are the five magic words.” “When you sign your agreement with a gallery make sure it’s not exclusive to anywhere other than their area. You should have the freedom to show your work in any other gallery outside that geographic area.” “When you’re younger, it’s fun to get that pat on the back, but you learn quickly that a pat on the back doesn’t pay the mortgage.” On Pricing Your Work: “Choose which market you want to be in: the high-end marketplace of galleries, the low-end marketplace of Etsy, or in the middle. Then follow the rules of that market.” “If you’re struggling with pricing, follow simple formulas such as figuring out a daily, weekly, and monthly rate. It’s good for working on new projects or one-off projects.” And we covered so much more! If you have a listen let me know what you think. #mariabrophy #artmoneysuccess #artbiz #sellmoreart #clarkhulings
