Knowledge is power. Are you ready to get the knowledge you need?
Knowledge + Inspiration + Action = Success               

Get the Knowledge you need and take inspired action to achieve your success!

What would it mean to you to know how to show and sell your art?

Are you willing to spend an afternoon to learn?

Are you serious about wanting to gain recognition for yourself and your art?

Do you want to reap the benefits from the years of classes and work you have invested in your art?

Would you like to gain power...and increase your level of success...by taking responsibility for your own career?

Do you want to promote yourself--to make others aware of you and your art--using the power of the internet AND the power of free publicity.

In this class I share with you the knowledge I acquired during my years of experience.  Instead of spending time searching for information, and evaluating the credibility of each information source, you can spend 3 hours of your time in this class and get  the information from someone who has figured out what works by actually doing it.

You will know the steps to take. Then YOU DECIDE which steps (or actions) you want to take first. Choose the ones that feel comfortable to you.  Some of them are so easy that you could already be doing them, if you knew what they were. Each step you take helps you feel more confident and increases your success.

This class provides valuable information for artists at all levels.

Sheila Conner, participant in my December class, went home and took action. She has built an awesome web site.

Sheila, thank you for sharing. I know you will inspire other artists by sharing your process of working through the overwhelm. When a task feels huge, we each tend to think it is beyond our abilities. But by breaking it down and taking one step at a time, we can complete any task...just like eating that elephant.

Sheila said:
"When I took Ann's Business of Art class last December, I felt so intimidated!  After all, I'm an artist, not a business woman.  And there was so much information!  I must admit, I left feeling a little overwhelmed.

BUT I decided to begin like you do when you eat an elephant--one bite at a time!  I began reading  through the notebook (a BIG help) and doing little things, like getting a URL address. 

Each time I took a step and succeeded, my confidence rose. 

The key is to just START. 

Within a month, I had a web site up and running, business cards and postcards in hand, and now, a photo blog---all because Ann told me I could, and gave me good tools to work with!  If I can do it, anyone can do it!"

Joy purchased the Workbook & CDs.

You can benefit from this information, even if you cannot attend the class in person.

Joy found the originl information so helpful she came to my studio to take   "How to Price your Art for Profit" in June.

Joy Cottrell of Spring, Texas, said:
"I'm listening to your first CD in my car. I just love it. It's clear & easy to hear.
Thanks to you, I'm convinced I can just do an inexpensive, simple web site---just to show my work.

Now I know I can and should start with a place to lead people just so they can see my work! And the advice to use my name & .com is invaluable.

Thank you so much for sharing this down-to-earth information, for sharing your mistakes, & for not sounding high & mighty perfect!! It gives us hope! I've just pretty-well skimmed everything, but I will study & re-read as time permits."

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ron Stokes attended "How to Get your Artist Web Site" in July.                                "I  have just finished my first reading of your workbook and I just wanted you to know that the emotional result is like one being filled with high octane fuel. The information is so useful and your coaching segments near the end really inspire one to work harder to achieve one's art-art career goals.

Your workbook strategy works; the information combined with the very useful websites makes your workbook a complete beginners' instrument that one can take and use to complete one's first website.

Again, thank you for the class and your careful and meaningful instruction."
Ron Stokes, Angleton
