    Episode 88: Ask Me Anything: Your Burning Questions, Answered (Part 4)

    It’s time for another “Ask Me Anything” episode! I’m answering listener questions with my raw, honest opinion on all things art, and your career as an artist.  And while I get a lot of listener questions about ALL KINDS of things, on this week’s episode, I’m digging into some specifics when it comes to pricing and selling your art.  We’ll talk through questions like:  Should you use artists platforms that promise to “do it all for you”? How can you effectively price your art (so it sells for all it’s worth)? How do you deal with scammers when selling art? And of course, plenty more. Don’t forget — if you want to submit your own questions to be featured in my next Ask Me Anything, you can do so on my Patreon: http://patreon.com/honestartpodcast  Make sure to subscribe to this podcast so you don’t miss a thing!
