Art Licensing Portfolio
I don’t typically do sales, and I don’t normal I don’t typically do sales, and I don’t normally do a-la-carte type courses. However, after reading through all of the feedback from the surveys and the many emails I received from this audience, I decided to make a few changes! See, it pays off to ask for what you want!⁠ ⁠ I heard from many of you that my comprehensive program offered MORE than what you wanted. Some of you are just getting started, some have already taken part of the workshops, some were father along and just needed a helping hand.⁠ ⁠ Because of this, I decided to offer the various components individually and let you choose what is right for you. Not only that, but because it happens that it is Black Friday time, I decided to throw in some extra goodness if you sign up by the end of Friday November 24th!⁠ ⁠ So, what is it? Here is what I’ve added for you:⁠ ⁠ 1. 12 licensing portfolio builder bundle - 12 workshops of prompts and ideas to build up your licensing portfolio. I’ve bundled all of last year’s workshops into a single self-paced course! We did this over the course of a year, but you can do it at your own speed and in whatever order you want!⁠ ⁠ -----> 25% off through Friday! ⁠ ⁠ -----> Option to add submission information for 50 clients at checkout!⁠ ⁠ *** Note: This package does not include our group coaching plan⁠ ⁠ ⁠ 2. Individual Coaching - I’ve set up a 4-session quarterly coaching plan to help you with various aspects of your licensing business. During each session, we set goals for the next quarter and review progress to date. This is a fabulous opportunity to have 1:1 coaching, feedback along the way, and a level of accountability throughout the year. ⁠ ⁠ 30% off until Friday! ⁠ ⁠ www.artlicensingportfolio.teachable.com ---> Click on ALL Workshops⁠
⁠Welcome to Topic #5 of our Art Licensing Series ⁠Welcome to Topic #5 of our Art Licensing Series. Today, I want to share my thoughts on how coaching and mentoring are transformative and how these guiding hands can help artists of all kinds achieve their full potential.⁠ ⁠ I write this today from personal experience, and I will share some of the traits that both make me successful and at the same time stall my progress. I am stubborn. I think I can do it all by myself. I think I can do it faster by myself. You get it… I’m used to taking the bull by the horns and just getting things done. However…. sometimes, that doesn’t work. Sometimes, I fall on my face. Sometimes, I just had more to learn. ⁠ ⁠ It is during those times that seeking expert help has gotten me out of the hole and back on my path. I learned at an early age that asking for help is a good thing. That listening to people who know more than you can help you get to your goals faster and with less pain. ⁠ ⁠ So yes, I hired a coach. I signed up for classes. I found other coaches for new problems. I still look for people who are farther down the path I’m walking, and I learn from them. There is no shame in that. It is the smart thing to do. You can do it alone, but why? Why take longer? Why go through all of the disappointments and doubt-filled days alone and then have to figure it all out when someone else already has? ⁠ ⁠ A coach and mentor can help you:⁠ ⁠ - Get outside of your comfort zone and grow.⁠ - Build confidence.⁠ - Find your unique voice.⁠ - Bridge the gap between inspiration and success.⁠ - Move from thoughts to action.⁠ - Stay inspired.⁠ ⁠ That is what it did for me. I went from doubting so much of what I was doing, to having a solid plan and executing on it. I gained clarity about what my goals are. I took my dreams into action and made them a reality. I stayed inspired and I didn’t give up. It helped to have someone believe in me and truly help me with real issues.⁠ ⁠ That is why I revamped my program to include coaching and mentoring.

In a world that often emphasizes individualism and In a world that often emphasizes individualism and self-reliance, it's easy to overlook the incredible strength and potential that lies in the bonds we share with one another. Community, in all its forms, has the power to uplift, support, and drive meaningful change. Let's explore how harnessing the power of community can lead to greater collective achievements and individual growth.⁠ ⁠ 1. Support in Times of Need:⁠ ⁠ A strong community is like a safety net, ready to catch us when we stumble, when we have a weak moment, when we need a little help. Whether it’s helping a fellow artist figure out how to make progress, sharing which pitfalls to watch out for, giving them encouragement, providing feedback on current works, communities provide emotional and practical support. ⁠ ⁠ This is why I started a Facebook community for ALPS. I wanted a place for our students to be able to share their challenges and ask for feedback from others on the same path. Communities take time to build, but over time, they can be an amazing resource. ⁠ ⁠ 2. Shared Knowledge and Learning:⁠ ⁠ Communities are hubs of collective knowledge. They bring together people with diverse experiences, skills, and expertise. When we tap into this wealth of wisdom, we can learn, grow, and innovate faster. Sharing knowledge within a community not only benefits individuals but also advances the community as a whole.⁠ ⁠ 3. Mutual Inspiration:⁠ ⁠ Communities inspire individuals to achieve their best. Seeing others within the community succeed or overcome challenges motivates everyone to reach their full potential. Through encouragement and shared inspiration, we collectively raise the bar for greatness.⁠ ⁠ 4. Innovation and Problem Solving:⁠ ⁠ Communities can be hotbeds of innovation. When individuals from different backgrounds collaborate and brainstorm, they can come up with innovative solutions to complex problems. The collective intelligence of a community often surpasses that of any single individual.⁠ ⁠ Tell us! How do you interact with your community? Which communities support your journey in your artistic business?⁠ That’s today’s food for thought! ⁠

Nurturing Your Portfolio for Client Visibility⁠ Nurturing Your Portfolio for Client Visibility⁠ ⁠ Welcome to the first post of our Art Licensing Insights series! Today, we're diving into the essential topic of maintaining a fresh and engaging art portfolio to ensure visibility to potential clients. Your art portfolio is your calling card in the art licensing world, and it plays a crucial role in attracting the right clients. Here are some key strategies to consider:⁠ ⁠ 1) Create Art Consistently⁠ ⁠ Consistency is key in art licensing. Regularly create new pieces to keep your portfolio fresh and dynamic. It demonstrates your commitment to your craft and keeps clients engaged. ⁠ ⁠ 2) Make it Easy for Clients to Find and Browse Your Art⁠ ⁠ Ensure that your portfolio is easily accessible. A user-friendly website or platform is essential. Consider creating a professional website with a clear and intuitive layout. Categorize your art and provide a search feature to help clients quickly find what they're looking for.⁠ I advocate the use of a professional portfolio management system like Artonomo Pro. It allows you to organize your work in a way that makes sense and makes it a breeze for art directors to quickly assess if you have what they need.⁠ ⁠ 3) Organize Your Art in a Way That Is Easy to Consume⁠ ⁠ Think about how your art is presented. Organize it into thematic collections or categories. This not only helps clients find relevant pieces but also tells a story about your work. For example, you might have sections for different art styles, color palettes, or subject matter.⁠ ⁠ 4) Make It Searchable⁠ ⁠ Clients often have specific ideas in mind. Make your portfolio searchable by adding relevant keywords, tags, and descriptions to each piece. This way, your art will show up in search results when clients are looking for something particular.⁠ ⁠ 5) Consider Seasonal Categories⁠ ⁠ Take advantage of the seasons and holidays (thus my example above). Create dedicated sections in your portfolio for seasonal and holiday-themed artwork. Clients often look for art to fit specific occasions, so having these categories readily available can increase your chances of getting your work discovered.⁠ ⁠ #artlicensingportfolio ⁠

Are you tired of feeling overwhelmed by the comple Are you tired of feeling overwhelmed by the complexities of marketing your creative work? Do you struggle to balance your artistic passion with the demands of running a successful art business?⁠ ⁠ I spent my first lifetime managing large scale programs at an international firm. I won’t bore you with those details, because they ARE boring, but I’ll tell you there is one thing, irrespective of industry that has always been true: ⁠ ⁠ If you don’t START, you won’t get to where you want to go. ⁠ ⁠ It sounds so incredibly simple, and it is. At the very least, if you delay your start, you delay when you will achieve your goals. There are SO MANY reasons and explanations about why something else has to happen first. It’s your choice really, you can START NOW or get there LATER if ever.⁠ ⁠ I even claim you don’t totally have to know HOW to get to your end goals, you don’t have to be an EXPERT, you don’t even have to be that good at what you do YET. You just have to START. All you need is to know where you want to go and have a basic idea of how to get there. The rest, as they say, you learn on the job!⁠ ⁠ This is the most powerful belief I can share with you, and I want you to own it. The rest…. the rest are mechanics. There is practice, perseverance, lots of learning, showing your work, and doing it again and again and again. That is what we preach at Art Licensing Portfolios, or ALPS for short.⁠ ⁠ CONSISTENCY IS KEY.⁠ ⁠ #artlicensingportfolio #artlicensing #onlinecourses #artlicensingcourses #artlicensingclass #artlicensingworkshop #onlineworkshop #licenseyourart #artagent #juststart
