A Course We Should All Take
Obviously I do not mean people who have taken courses and who are experts in searches and marketing, but for all you people here who open threads asking how to sell, you NEED to take this course. And it is FREE
We have so many new threads weekly, and sometimes even daily, on how to sell your work. As if we have a magic wand that we can wave over you when opening that thread which will automatically give you all the ideas you need. We have not. We cannot help you. You have to help yourself.
The best way of doing that, as Floyd and I have mentioned too many times to mention, you should take a marketing course.
Marketing is how to sell. Marketing is the WHOLE package. It takes into consideration your financial aspects, advertising, creating, networking.... Marketing is what you do to sell work. Uploading work is 1 small fraction of the work you need to put in.
"But I just want to create art!"
So stop saying you want to sell it.
Simple really.
There are VERY few people here among 700,000+ who sell regularly with no marketing, and you are not among them (nor am I) or you would not be asking.
Ok that was being exceptionally blunt but sometimes that has to be said.
So what CAN you do yourself to sell your work?.
One of the best ways is to learn how to be found. That does not necessarily mean how to get the work found funnily enough. It means how to get people to find you, to find your work
The best way on todays web is to be found by Google and the search engines and this course will help you on every aspect of that.
