Beach Glass Treasure

Thank you for continuing the mixed media artists series with this third installation! As I left off earlier rather quickly I am here to continue! I began writing about something called a Value Proposition Harvest earlier. It can be called many things but for the sake of understanding what this is, think of it as two main things: 1.) What you want people to associate your online and in-person presence with; 2.) Only using a few words (that are not your business name, tagline, or your own name), one symbol and two colors This is going to be based on the Business Model Canvas that was in the first series. Specifically the middle rectangle. Here are two questions to refresh your memory: 1.) What makes your art and your creative business unique? 2.) How are you helping your target market? What problem are you solving for them? -This post may contain affiliate links. To read further about this please visit my disclaimer and resource pages. Let's talk more about the V...

Are you an artist that is spinning their wheels and have already begun to establish your online presence but it's not going as well as planned? Creative entrepreneurs, you are about to embark on a brave journey through an innovative approach I'm going to call a value proposition harvest. Before we head off in that direction, I want to apologize as this post is going to be super short. When I originally wrote this, I tried to get it posted before the time that I had promised you. Not making excuses. However, I remember spending the majority of that morning repurposing the content on my resources page to have my computer crash in the middle and none of my progress saved. It was devastating! However, everything happens for a reason, and I ended up getting everything updated on it but then it severely cut into the time I had planned to write this! - This post contains affiliate links.

Artists are you ready to start making money from your creative business? I hope so because this post is about to reveal the secrets to successfully brand yourself to appeal to art collectors, galleries, and art buyers online and in person. Have you ever been rejected after inquiring or applying for any of the above? I was recently given the "run around" by a gallery I had never even stepped foot into but I was having one of those days where I was seemingly grasping at straws with everything so I figured why not add to the pile and send in the application. Needless to say, I have since made a visit in person and I understand now why they gave the "run around"....they are not even an exclusive art gallery as their website implied. -This post contains affiliate links.

Does the title really make a difference? Aren't entrepreneurs one in the same as solopreneurs? I'm going to share with you how these two are different because I believe that this is invaluable information could benefit your business decisions, improve professional communications, and leverage networking abilities. -The post that you are reading right now contains affiliate links.

These are the founders and the pioneers that are able to look ahead and correctly forecast a deficit somewhere in the market that they foresee buyers will ultimately need. As they quickly grow the size of their business by fulfilling the market's demand creatively and strategically they proceed to maximize on what their initial predictions were and if they don't they steer the business into an alternate route ...
