Blueprint for Art Business Success Ebook Bundle
Visual artists always do business in their own way. They may learn tips and techniques and take formal classes or guru workshops, but ultimately, how they operate their business is as unique as their art. The "Blueprint for Art Business Success" gives them shortcuts to the best ways to do business their way.
The bonus "Self-Empowerment Journal for Artists" helps them liberate creativity from fear, adopt a growth mindset, and understand the power of individuality in their art.
Get the ebook bundle for $8.99 here: ArtMarketingNews.com/blueprint That's less than the Kindle price for the Blueprint book alone.
6 Questions Align Dreams & Reality
1. Where am I now?
2. Where do I want to go with my art?
3. Am I sure?
4. Can I get to where I want to go?
5. Am I up to doing what needs to be done to get there?
6. Or, on second thought, are other options more realistic and still reasonably satisfactory?
I'm presenting these questions to help you make plans for your life and career. I believe your candid answers will give you clarity and direction on what to do to live your most satisfying life as a creative person. I gained this wisdom through my experiences and hope you will find your reality, your truth, and your path more exploring what the answers mean to you.
How does a small business use an AI copywriting assistant like ClosersCopy? https://swiy.co/closerscopy
Artificial Intelligence is a branch of computer science that deals with programming computers to mimic human intelligence. The aim is to create intelligent software that can solve problems in a similar way that humans do.
AI-powered automation gives one-person companies the ability to only manage and grow their businesses quickly and affordably. For example, writing well-researched copy for small businesses with limited resources is challenging due to the time and expense.
ClosersCopy is an AI copywriting assistant tool that helps you write compelling copy for your business. It uses the latest AI technologies to automatically generate high-quality, distinctive copywriting that will improve your writing and conversion rate on your website.
If you're a small business, then chances it's likely your marketing communication need help. I use ClosersCopy and find it very effective for idea generation, outline creation, and creating uniquely written long-form content writing for articles, blogs, courses, etc.
It is not always possible for small businesses to have an in-house copywriter. Even for larger companies with an entire team of writers, it can be challenging to find the right balance between having a writer who can work on a wide variety of projects and someone who can dedicate their time to one or two projects at any given time.
We're all busy. We get a lot of emails, phone calls, and messages from people asking for our help. Some people want to know how to write better content for their websites, others need help with their social media, and some just want to learn more about the products and services. It can be hard to keep track of all these requests and give everyone the attention they deserve.
ClosersCopy is an AI copywriting assistant. It takes your words about your product or service and creates the best version of that text. It will then use this t
Here is a screencap of me using the Nichess app. It has improved since I bought it from AppSumo about a year ago. They brought back the offer again. Nichess is an AI tool that helps to write copy. (Hey, if AI can drive a car, writing copy can't be that hard.)
I'm posting this offer because you must create content to become a social influencer, which means writing copy. Since that is challenging, I suggest the AppSumo offer for a lifetime deal with Nichess.
Here is the link to learn more and order Nichess. http://fbuy.me/v/barney_61. You get $10, and they give me $10 (I think it is store credit, but I'm not sure, and it's not a big deal.) I don't know how long the lifetime offer lasts. So let me know if you have questions. #contentcreation #contentmarketing #copywriting #AItools
Merry Christmas from Barney, Mary & Petey!
How Artists Can Make Living the Dream a Reality
You see things; and you say, ‘Why?’ But I dream things that never were; and I say, ‘Why not? – George Bernard Shaw
Here is the transcript if you want to read along with the narration on the video.
As we close out a tumultuous 2021, I’m confident no one predicted this outcome a year ago. What’s transpired proves we only have little control over macro events and how they affect our lives and businesses.
Watching macro trends in politics and science skew human behavior is why I believe the future is brightest for artists who control their business on the micro-level. That’s where the concept of selling to a POP becomes valuable to artists.
Because you can use the concept of marketing to a POP (Pocket of People) to help you live the dream, I’m following up on my previous Successfully Selling Original Art Using a POP post with this one.
Even in tough times, there are ways to make a living the dream a reality.
– Barney Davey
It’s not how many people you know but who you know. Some refer to a POP as a micro tribe, which works for me. Label the concept of gathering connections to a small group in any way that motivates your buy-in.
I believe living the dream is way more than a snarky reply to, “How are you doing?” Enjoying the life you build as an artist is possible. We are each the steward of our lives and the ultimate decider of the goals we make and the paths we take. Get those in alignment to live your dreams and your best artist’s life. It’s what I want for you in 2022.
