About

This is a Web site not only about selling art, but about dispelling the starving artist myth.

I’m Cory Huff. Nice to meet you. *waves*

I am an actor and storyteller who fell into a career in Internet marketing. In 2004 I discovered search engine marketing and social media. Since then I’ve worked on marketing and software programs for some of the world’s biggest companies.

Why should you care?

In 2009 I started TheAbundantArtist.com (TAA for short) as a way teaching internet marketing to my artist friends who were asking me for help. Since then, I’ve helped dozens of artists go from never sold anything to now selling pieces monthly or weekly. Some of my artist friends and clients have gone on to sell their work for $20,000 or more. I also work with performers – actors, musicians, and others.

I teach artists to dispel the starving artist myth by using the Web to sell art directly to your fans. I don’t teach artists how to get into galleries or museums. Building your own business online can be complimentary to a gallery business, but if you want to go the academic route, you’ll need another resource.

What You’ll Find Here

My goal is to teach artists to be empowered to take charge of their own art business, and to not let others dictate to them whether or not their work is good enough, commercial enough, or fits some pre-determined mold of what an art career should be.

On this site you’ll  find hundreds of free articles, videos, and podcasts designed to help you:

• Build a Better Artist Website
• Sell Your Art Online
• Effectively market with social media
• Design your own ideal life style
• Become more business savvy
• Find the right community that will help you grow as an artist

If you’re looking for the best way to get started with all of this content, join the mailing list and you’ll be sent the free course How to Sell More Art Online in 10 Weeks.

For those artists who ready to get serious about their art business, we offer some advanced training courses and services:

• Membership in ArtEmpowers.me, a members-only website with in-depth lessons in online marketing. This is where the artists who are truly serious about their work go to get trained in online marketing.
• Artist Website building. If you want to truly build a long-term business, you need your own website. TAA offers a website installation and coaching service with Done for You Artist Websites.
• One-on-one coaching via Skype. If you are interested in talking with me directly, the best thing you can do is visit the TAA artist coaching page and book an appointment.
