Hi everyone, and welcome to the Starving Artist Survival Guide community! I’m so incredibly excited to have you here.
I know why you joined. You’re brilliant, you’re talented, and you’ve put in the hours, but you’re tired of the financial guesswork. I've been there. My personal lowest point was having my electricity cut off and a grand total of three dollars to my name. Despite having produced and given away three paintings in less than a month. It was exhausting and it nearly made me quit. That’s why I created this class. We aren't here to talk about color theory; we're here to talk about paying rent, consistent clients, and building a sustainable, full-time career.
In this community, we will be tackling the real stuff:
• 💰 Pricing Systems that guarantee profit.
• ⏰ Time Management hacks for commission work.
• 💼 Non-Art Skills that immediately lead to paid work.
I want this to be the honest, practical, and direct space I wish I had 10 years ago.
🙏 Your Turn:
To kick things off, introduce yourself and tell me: What is the single most frustrating business or financial part of being an artist for you right now?
Let's make sure the phrase "starving artist" becomes an outdated myth.
