    Episode 71: Is Your Art Ready to Sell?

    You may be ready to sell your art…but is your art ready to be sold? 
    It’s easy for artists to get caught up in the magic of creating our best work, but we can’t forget the logistics, too. Especially if we want to make a living from our art.
    Selling your art requires knowing a few things about your ideal buyers AND what makes art sellable. And no, “good art” isn’t what sells. 
    Tune in to hear how to change your approach to selling your art based on your audience, and why you need a story to connect collectors to the right piece for them.

    Episode 69: Best of: How to Price Your Art (So It Sells!)

    Episode 69: Best of: How to Price Your Art (So It Sells!)

    I get it, pricing your art is an uncomfortable topic for a lot of artists. 
    You’re worried people won’t buy the higher, but fair, price, so you lowball yourself over and over — until one day, you realize you’re not making any money from this gig! 
    Being an artist isn’t all about the money, but hey, those paintbrushes aren’t going to buy themselves! So to take some of that unknown out of the pricing equation (literally and figuratively), we’re talking about how to price your art in this episode!
    We’ll cover: 
    Simple, practical, and easy ways to generate a fair price for your art
    How to keep the buyer, collector, AND you, the artist, happy with the price
    How to push past doubt when it comes to selling your work
    NOTE: This episode is a rerun of Episode 14. Why am I running it again? Because y’all got SO MUCH out of it! I’ve gotten so many messages about how helpful it’s been, so I wanted to bring it back to help even more folks who are new to the Honest Art Podcast. Enjoy!

Where have you been?

**Title: A Must-Listen for Aspiring Artists**

If you're ready to embrace your artistic potential, Jodie's podcast is an essential resource. For me, it has been transformative. She masterfully connects all the reasons I've felt compelled to create art, offering a relatable and inspiring narrative drawn from her own experiences. By tuning in, I've found invaluable guidance to liberate myself from the negative thoughts that hinder my creativity.

Jodie doesn't just share anecdotes; she provides well-researched facts about the numerous benefits of creating art. Importantly, she emphasizes approaching art without the pressure of producing something significant, allowing me to enjoy the process itself.

This podcast is a must for any aspiring artist looking to overcome self-doubt and fully embrace their creative journey.
