Very Informative 👍🏼 However regarding the Art licencing if we display our art at Red bubble or Zezzle then do they take care of licencing matter them selves or it needs to be done by artist only, and how to safe guard our artwork for Getting it reproduce once we displayed it to any gallery or mentioned sites. YOUR guidance will be Very much much appreciated, your viewer from Pakistan.

@@socialcreature8518 Hi! When you work with RedBubble or Zazzle, it is a licensing agreement (a binding contract) you sign with them in order to offer your work to the public for sale on their merchandise. Regarding safeguarding your work, sites like these do have limited copyright infringement efforts they do, but it is very limited.

Very relevant topic and helpful tips.👏 It took me a long time to figure out which way would be the most acceptable for me. To monitor art sites, social networks and many other resources I came to the conclusion that while I am in my country I need my site and to promote it. It's good that at least there are skills to create independently. Now I am engaged in its filling.

I'm learning here. It's good that I heard from you that staying in a gallery can be hard, so I'm prepared once I submit my work. Thank you for sharing your expertise. 😄 I wonder how the income from art sales can be filed for taxes? I'm sure the tax situation between the US and the Philippines is totally different, but I would like to hear about your experience about filing taxes for art sales. 🙂

@DenaTollefson 6 ай бұрын

Hi Rhema! Yes, in the United States, income from art sales is counted as ordinary income if you file taxes as an individual or jointly with a spouse as I do. You can do deductions for art related expenses on your taxes if they are legal, appropriate, and fall within the categories listed on the forms and within the filing limits. Note I am not a tax attorney, and don't give official tax advice. I assume the Philippines will have some sort of laws governing this as well.

The best way to make money as an artist is to treat it as a business. Especially since it is one. You can always hire someone to help. Especially for things like accounting/bookkeeping/taxes and even the marketing etc. networking with other artists or biz people help too, because you can share tips and inspire each other.

Artist don't work for tech companies. Start with stickers, learn how to sell.

Depends on the artist. Stickers work for some, but not all. Many artists make fantastic careers working for and with tech companies. I agree wholeheartedly learning how to sell is key. Thank you for writing!! Take care and have a great rest of your weekend

1: Google term "call to artists", some pay some don't. In America it's as if every location has a hundred or so. Pay doesn't always profit. Start with free or public/government project. Number 2: know your audience. ask your customer what they like or don't like. Art isn't about you it's about them connecting with you. Don't paint landscapes for a portrait competition. Number 3: include novelty. Add something unusual. Number 4: if it your art sucks, it sucks. Ask people what they like about it and what they don't like. Everyone knows what sucks. Don't take it personally, consider it a gift that can help you sell. In fact, you should have to sell art, you're helping your customer buy art. Pro tip: 1 Would you rather sell to everyone including poor people? Or would you like to rinse the rich? I personally do not want poor people's money. They need it. I think it is morally just to sell something for $30000. Pro tip 2: everything face to face is better. Consider sales a friend making experience. Being an artist is making money being authentic. You deserve it. It'll take 10 years.
