Hey friends - there's somewhat of a "debate" happening over in our AMS Mastermind Group: how did @Oliver Hojas sell over $200,000 in art WITHOUT a website?! It all started when Oliver did a post saying how he sold $200K on Facebook without having a website. Some of the Mastermind Members have questions. Lots of questions!!! And do you really need a website, if this is true?! :) Well, after this debate started, I texted Oliver and asked if I could interview him on a LIVESTREAM to talk about the details of how he did it. Of course, he said YES. AND YOU'RE INVITED! MARK YOUR CALENDAR FOR THIS THURSDAY. 🚀WHAT: Livestream on Youtube - How a new artist sold over $200,000 in ART on Social Media with NO website 🚀WHEN: Thursday, January 23rd at 10 a.m. PST / 1 p.m. EST / 6 p.m. London 🚀 WHERE: LIVE via Youtube LIVESTREAM Click here right now - https://www.youtube.com/live/zkT0y-cNegs?si=f7bAQRJmOI4ZMSL_ - and hit the "Notify Me" bell so you are reminded. 🚀 WILL THERE BE A REPLAY: NO (A replay will only be available for AMS Mastermind Members) You have to show up to the Livestream if you don't want to miss it. 🚀Q&A: During the livestream you'll be invited to ask questions and we will answer them :) I will love to see you there, my friend!

I have not been active in this group since the 30 day challenge but wanted to share the good news that has transpired since. I just signed the contract for my first solo show opening July 12 in San Diego at the Union Hall Gallery. As the title explains it will be a retrospective of my art for the last 30 years or so and will include new work from the past 2 years. More Info to come...

For Drew and I, we were told many years ago, "Never work with your spouse..." and then another time, "Don't ever license your art..." and then another time, "Don't make prints of your art." All of these things are what helped us create success in the business of art. I'm so glad we didn't listen to this advice! How About You? Share below!

Fellow artists! 🎨 I'm considering switching my e-commerce site from OpenCart to Shopify. Curious about your experiences! Do you use Shopify? What are your approximate running costs? I'm drawn to its seemingly better integration options. As a long-time OpenCart user, I'd love to hear your thoughts before making the leap. Any insights on how it's impacted your art business? Thanks in advance! https://www.amandadagg.com/
