Hi there! In this video I want to talk about what works, and what doesn't work in my art business, in terms of financial gain and social media growth.

🎨 NEED YOUR HELP 🎨

If you find interest in this series, I'd be thankful if you leave a comment and let me know what you thought of this, and what other topics you want me to cover.

I want this to have valuable information FOR YOU (:

🎨 WHAT WORKS 🎨

Books - I am able to sell my books in different channels.
I was also able to sell the Spanish language rights, making my book How to Sketch available in additional countries in Spanish!

Courses - This is something I've been devoting many hours to producing, marketing and selling.
My courses are selling on both the Udemy platform and on my own website (DrawAnythingUSee.com).

YouTube - This is obviously my favourite platform (;
I'm really enjoying producing content here, and it actually WORKS.
I receive valuable feedback from you, that helps me know what you want to see more of.

Instagram - Another platform I'm really enjoying right now. It's also the best way to connect with me, if you want to hit me up with a quick message.

I've been putting a lot of effort into YouTube and Instagram for the past 2 years.

🎨 WHAT DOESN'T REALLY WORK 🎨

Reddit - As a social media platform, it used to help me a lot in the past, but not so much.

Licensing my art - I tried websites like Society6 and RedBubble, but that didn't really work as well.

Smashwords - A digital book distributer. I have some of my books distributed through it. As I mentioned in the video, I think 2 months on Amazon made me more money than two years on Smashwords and it's 8+ different distribution channels. Haha.

Selling my art directly - This is something I haven't really focused on much so far. I let it come naturally to me.

Which brings me to my next point...

🎨 THIS TAKES EFFORT 🎨

When I really audit myself and try to find correlations between my success...
It is glaringly obvious that the things that really worked out for me are the things I spent A LOT OF EFFORT, WORK AND HOURS ON.

In the end of the day, success takes a lot of time. The things I succeeded in so far are really things I thoroughly researched and worked on.

It's things I had a natural inclination to put more work into, but on the same token - it could have ended but being different things.

The message is that PERSISTENCE IS KEY. You have to keep pushing through until what you are doing works - or learn when to stop and move onto something else.

I wish you success in all your endeavors!
Let me know how this video was, and how you are doing, and if there's something you want me to cover in the future.
