- If I was starting my art business from absolute zero, THIS is what I would do! Get your notebook out because I am laying down some hard won wisdom to build your art biz. Honestly there is so much information here I could teach a whole COURSE on it... And maybe I will! But you can have this one for free!

Finally someone who is straight talking and no bull! I’ve been suckered into so many videos that say what they would do from zero or how to start your career and they’re usually rubbish, but this is clear and concise! I definitely need to work on my email list for sure! But I also need to work on my work! Thanks for the tips!
Awesome! I've watched some of those wispy ones. No real info LOL. I try to keep it real! Thanks for watching
Josie, this video has been for many emerging artists a golden nugget of gold. Heartfelt thanks to you as a content creator and a giving individual who believes in your craft, plus people are treated with some measure of priority according to the seriousness they are prepared to put in to get the results that they'll receive for their hard work. God bless you, Josie. Much love from The Twin Isle Republic of Trinidad and Tobago, West Indies, Caribbean.
That's so awesome! Hope to visit your twin islands someday!
Josie- you're a genius!!!! I've been wanting to begin, but have been paralyzed with indecision and didn't know where to start. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for being honest and transparent Josie!! 😘💕 so helpful
Thank you! Need to get an email list going
Portraits of squirrels using string and bubble gum!!! great line.
Haha. Thank you!
I needed to hear this. Narrow down to one style, work on your collection, clean up IG space. Thank you so much!!!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you Josie that was great information I’m just starting to try to sell my art and was beginning to categorize all my art pictures for a website. My friend and I want to sell digital prints of our creations. I never thought about starting from scratch because I have so much art I can’t fit in my house. I have some very good monoprints of my 66 Dodge dart that I sold a long time ago so I would like to start off with those images and make my new prints of Cars! . Thanks
Thanks for this...I really did lose everything except my email list. Like...website gone...classes....gone....argh! And I've been paralyzed...but the angel has spoken....I tried to catch her name...I think it rhymes with Posie-something! 💕 Appreciate the just start the art....and the clarity of you "first and then...and then" approach. Mostly, I appreciate you! Have a great week!
Oh no! How did you lose your website? How does such a thing happen?
I’d also like to know how you lost your website!
I'm so sorry you lost everything! It's horrible this actually happened. Let's rebuild!
@@JosieLewisArt let's! 💕💕💕 one step at a time.😘
Amazing , Thank you Josie❤❤
Thank you for this video. It is GOLD! I need to play it every day!
So happy it was helpful! Go for the gold!
Thank you thank you thank you! 🌈🎨
I'm here for you! Thanks for watching (:
I love you! This is how I got to this video: Saw Art Police reel on IG while I was still waking up from a nap (was already following you on IG)... clicked on your IG links.... opened your podcast, listened to a couple of episodes (subscribed), you mentioned the mailing list being key, I got up, googled you to go to your website where I subscribed to your mailing list.... scrolled down to the TH-cam results and voila, I watched this perfect summary and of course, subscribed.
All the content I consumed from one initial reel means you totally know what you're doing and now I'm inspired to do my own thing. Thanks a bunch, Josie ❤ you do rock :)
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you are helped!
So far this is the most direct and very useful video i have ever seen so far in youtube that's why i subscribed and commented. Thank u very much mam.
So glad it was helpful! More on my website: josielewis.com
thank you for the information. This is helpful ☺️
Glad you liked it!
Right now I am at apprehensive. I need to narrow down to one medium so I think I will have to try several of mine seriously to see which one I like the best. I have saved this video because I think it is a gem! Thank you so much for these tips. Your artwork is stunning.
Narrowing down to one medium will really help, and it doesn't have to be forever!
Hello Josie! First time seeing your video and I love it, you gave so much information.
I'm just planning and starting out, I made a social media account for now but I don't know exactly how to create content with my art and how to reach the right people (my niche is digital artwork for clean romance books).
Anyways, thank you for all these infos 🙏💕
I have to start to put money down on my Art business sometime this year and I have to price it high my artworks! 🙏🏾🙏🏾
I’ve been a stumbling artist since I took a watercolor Plein air class on Cape Cod when I was 14. I had a career as a graphic designer for 20 years. It was for a newspaper that downsized to a tiny circular. I tried social media designing but got discouraged: that was in 2008 and Dreamweaver just about killed me. I went back to school to get my Art Teaching certificate and have been doing that ever since. Teaching is very stressful so I’d like to try selling my art. I already know what style I have that will be really good and most of the time I like to paint cars!
great advise 👍❤️
such valuable information.. thank you soooo much!! I've been struggling to get started, again... I'm in Scotland..
You can do it! From anywhere!
Love it!
Thanks!!
Thank you ❤❤❤
Thank you so much for this video Josie! I am at the stage where I am working on those pieces of art (I have already narrowed down my style and picked a medium. I kind of happened naturally). I am going to release them in May. Going to use your method. One weekend only and see what happens. I keep tripping over how to photograph my work for my website. I am originally a trained photographer, and I know how difficult it is to make good art pictures (I was not very good at it 😂).
Again, thank you! Your video is very helpful 💕
Well, if you're a training photographer that's more than 95% of people who try to photograph your work. Just get good light!
Sounds good! I know how to create the art. Just don't know how to online market. Frustrating. The gallery I was at closed down during covid. I've realized that I need to get an online exhibit space, or whatever you're talking about. Thank you for the information/advice.
You can do it!
Thankyou. Very practical. I am a jewellery artist and my work takes longer than a few hours to make. Would lengthening the time frames for marketing actions in proportion with that make sense or would you recommend sticking with your schedule?
This video is perfect! I have the opportunity to set up a commercial storefront studio/gallery (for very little money). I haven't painted for 14 years and it's time to get back into it. A lot of the info in this video, I've already thought about on my own. It's great to hear someone else say it all. I have a full time day job that I don't intend on leaving any time soon and I'll only have maybe an hour or two a couple nights a week after work to paint and most of the day on Saturdays. I think I could knock out one or two small paintings a week, maybe more once I get into it. Thanks for the great video!
I'm so glad this was helpful for you. There are a lot more free resources on my website. You can download a Quick Start Guide to selling your art, plus more blog posts...etc. www.josielewis.com/quickstart
This was really clear, concise and helpful - thank you! I'm getting ready to launch my first collection. May I ask: why limit the first launch (as opposed to leaving the paintings available on the website)? I haven't noticed any artists doing that. And why limit it to one weekend (as opposed to say, a week)? Thanks Josie! 🙏 I appreciate the guidance.
So glad you asked. A week is fine or even 10 days, including 2 weekends. Just make it clear what the limited time offer is. Here is another blog about creating the urgency. www.josielewis.com/the-blog/to-sell-art-stop-selling
Trying to figure out my square space website, I think it would be easier to edit on a computer. Editing on my Samsung is kinda tricky
What about all the legal stuff about starting a business. Don’t I have to get a business license, separate bank account, register a name, and all that to be legal and such? How do I report my earnings on what I sell? Don’t I have to collect sales tax and report that too?
Hi Josie, new to your channel. I have art that I create but is small and unusable once I create it. I then take a photo and create multiple sizes ready for output. But my hiccup is “where” to send and print my artwork and then connect it to my website? Or should I drop ship? This is my biggest hurdle. Hope I’ve made sense 🤷♀️🥰
I like to have control so I bought a really nice printer. That said, I found a local print house that does the big quantity items for me.
At this time I am at building my list, but I don't have a website (do have an Etsy store though). But getting to sell my paintings is where it gets impossible :(
I have tons of help for people like you in my membership: Art Revenue Coaching. I can tell you how to sell those painting, even if all you have for a selling platform is etsy. josielewis.com/arc
2 hours a day?! Where do people get that time :')
