"Crafting Your Path: 7 Essential Steps for an Art Career Strategy"

Most artists I've encountered live in hope that one day they will be discovered via Instagram or YouTube and make it big as some great artist. Worse than an artist living in hope, is an artist who is happy living with hope. To become a successful artist you must become the person you need to be to get there.

Confused?

If a person wanted to become a top lawyer, he would need to gain new knowledge, new skills, and implement a new form of discipline. By the time he became a fully qualified lawyer, he would think like a lawyer, behave like a lawyer, and act like a lawyer: he/she would be a different person altogether after achieving their main objective.

1. Find your niche.

3. Learn how to photograph your work.

4. Create a basic website

5. Expand your marketing efforts.
