Your Art Matters Michelle Lloyd

Being paid to:
Have a community of people around you. Make art all day. Use your studio space. Learn from you. Have a break. These are some of the ways you can create a membership platform where people pay you on a monthly, quarterly, 6 monthly, or annual basis.
I know this sounds incredibly daunting and scary to many, as it did for me when I first started! 
I have had many questions about knowing if a membership is the right decision for you and your art - so I am giving the download it today’s episode.
I also take you through the steps Sharon took to create a pop-up membership that earned more that £15,000 in one month.

Wow - this was a bumper LIVE episode as we talked with artist, Bonny Snowdon.
Bonny broke down her whole journey from not making art in 30 years to self-taught, fully booked artist with thousands of students.
Bonny kindly shared how she managed to increase her pricing by building a waitlist and managed to exit her fulltime job to fulltime artist within 12 months.
Celebrating £ 1 million in turnover this year, Bonny has overcome challenges and set backs but found success as she works daily on her mindset and beliefs.
Bonny spoke of her success and credits her mindset and the people she has around her.  
This was such a great episode, we may have to bring Bonny back for a round 2 as we could have kept talking.

This was a live podcast where I brought in my mentor, Stu McLaren.
We talked about my past and how Stu has impacted my life in the most profound way ever.
We talk about how you can use your creativity to impact others and make money at the same time.
Imagine being paid to make art? With money coming in month after month. 
I get paid to make art, and I don’t have to sell it - how crazy is that ?
This episode is super special to me as Stu has shown me ways of living I never knew possible and I have a feeling some of you need to hear this - so enjoy.
Here are what others are saying about this episode:
I am SO GRATEFUL I didn’t miss this - Nikki McDiarmid

I discovered you during a painful moment in my life 4 years ago, you have helped me believe that my art not only matters to me but to others too.  I am following your recommendations and growing as an artist.  Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart - Lia Pintaryrelajar2206 (YouTube)

In today’s podcast, I set out to talk in-depth about how a free training I took back in 2016 changed my life in the most profound way.
Although I do talk about it - I don’t go into detail as I find it emotional to talk about.
To think that back in 2016, when I signed up for a free workshop with Stu McLaren, and how my life is unrecognisable now moves me to tears.
I spent years in emotional turmoil, lost and struggling financially.
Stu taught me not only how to create a membership platform, but how to find myself, teach others, build confidence and armed me with incredible knowledge.
In today’s episode I share insights into how you can use what Stu teaches to not only make more money from your creativity, but to enrich your life
 

My son was getting quite angry and upset as he wanted to buy an Xbox but didn’t have the money.  We can all relate, I am sure - there are many things I want but don’t have the money :)
So, our motto is every problem has a solution - and so we created a project plan and worked out how he could earn the money.
He decided to sell his art and we broke down the steps of how he could do it.
I share behind the scenes today of what we created as the lessons here relate to us all as it comes down to setting a financial goal and finding a way to hit it.

What if I told you the mistakes you make are increasing the value of your art?
We often disregard our mistakes, which can impact our confidence negatively.  Yet, our trials and errors are what make our art great.
This is what I talk about in today’s episode.
What if you are a beginner? With no trials and errors? Does this devalue your work?? Nope, I also talk about this in the episode.
