7 Baby Steps to seriously selling your art

The work­book you have all been ask­ing for is here!

Lots of you have been ask­ing for a step by step way to start mar­ket­ing your art busi­nesses so want­ing to make all you won­der­ful cre­ative souls happy I launched 7 day chal­lenge called 7 Days of Baby Steps to seri­ously sell­ing your art.

Skip the sch­peel and just let me buy it…

I had so much fun devel­op­ing the chal­lenge and got such great feed back from those who signed up and actu­ally did the work, that I decided to add more to the basic chal­lenge info and turn the whole she­bang into a work­book that you can , print out and punch holes in and bind all fancy like.

Of course you’re also free to keep on your hard drive or load it on your iPhone if your printer is run­ning low on ink… But don’t let it lan­guish… use it, carry it around with you and work on it when­ever your busi­ness needs a lit­tle rejuvenation.

So what’s the story with it?

Well…here’s the  low down.

Step 1: Fig­ur­ing out what it is you think you want to do and how you want to do it.

This step is all about burst­ing bub­bles, pop­ping bal­loons and bring­ing you back to earth. Because if you’re like most of us you thought “ Hey, I like to make Watz­its and peo­ple say I’m pretty good at mak­ing Watz­its, in fact they say my Watz­its are so good maybe I should move out of the cube farm and make Watz­its for a living. “

But after you have moved out of the cube farm, made a cou­ple hun­dred Watz­its and tried to sell said Watz­its at that street fair in July you still have the same cou­ple hun­dred Watzits.

This step will help you fig­ure out if sell­ing those Watz­its is what you want to be doing and why you want to spend your time mak­ing them.

Step 2: Get­ting all sneaky and stuff

Remem­ber, that guy you saw last week while you were sip­ping that Latte, he was busy as *** fill­ing his mon­ey­bag and swip­ing that credit card machine like crazy. You were impressed to say the least! If only you could do that.

Well…this step is all about find­ing more folks like that guy and fig­ur­ing out what it is they are doing that cre­ates such a feed­ing frenzy of buyers.

Then, all you have to do is use this lit­tle handy dandy work­book to fig­ure out what to do!

Step 3: Get­ting back to your stuff

So…by the time you reach this step you’ll have some kind of an idea about those Watz­its  and who else out there might be try­ing to steal those Watzit buy­ers from you.

This step gets you all worked up about your spe­cial­ness, you’ll start to see just if Aunt Maddy had a clue about your poten­tial as the king of Watz­its. See, she may think they are all great and stuff but here in this step you get to fig­ure out if and why and what is so great about them that would bring crowds of folks demand­ing your Watz­its no mat­ter the price.

Step 4: What Prob­lem does your stuff solve

See…its all well and good that ol’ Maddy loves your Watz­its but unless those Watz­its  can make folks buy­ing them all warm and fuzzy and feel­ing good you could seri­ously end up with a base­ment and stor­age place full up with Watzits!

So here, we’re going to going to go hunt­ing for prob­lems, not just any old prob­lems, OK? We want prob­lems caused by lack of Watz­its and we will not stop until we find them.

Step 5: Who has the prob­lem to your solution

OK…well, it looks like Maddy was right there are some folks out there who’s life sucks because they don’t have a Watzit. The $64,000 ques­tion now is who these folks are, what do they look like?

This step helps you get a pic­ture in your mind, and even draw one if you can, of just what those folks look like who can’t live with­out your Watzit. You’re going to do a lit­tle sweat­ing here on account of the dig­ging you’ll be doing and the lists you’ll be building.

The prize is a pretty good pic­ture of who is wan­der­ing around out there look­ing for your Whatzits!

Step 6: Play­ing hide ‘n seek

You’ve now got a mug shot of what those Watzit seek­ers look like, but what good is that? Well you could print it out and stick it to the tele­phone poles in your neigh­bor­hood, but who wants to do that?

There are bet­ter ways, see you don’t just want to find Watzit wan­ters, you want them to know that of all the Watzit mak­ers in the land… you RULE! Nobody, but nobody, can hold a match to you.

So it is time to take that pro­file you drew up and head out to find those lovely Watzit wanters.

Step 7: Get­ting attention

This is where it all comes together and if you don’t do this you’ve waisted all that time you could have used watch­ing that new show on the tube.

So…pay atten­tion! This is where you get to learn how to get noticed and have all your mag­i­cal won­der­ful­ness turn you into a famous red car­pet pranc­ing star.

Well, not quite to that extreme…but you do need to be uncloaked so all those folks wish­ing there was some­one like you they give their money to was alive and mak­ing the stuff they have to have.

Here you’ll learn some sim­ple steps to using the tools of today, instead of the ones ol’ Maddy used cen­turies ago.
