Hi there! If you got here by reading my guest post on IWillTeachYouToBeRich.com, I’d like to welcome you to the site. Like I mentioned in my bio, this site is about dispelling the myth of the starving artist. I teach artists (painters, crafters, sculptors, performers, musicians) how to sell their art online independently, thus making more money and building up their own prestige and reputation.
If you are not an artist, you may be interested reading about some of my freelance SEO & Social Media work at CoryHuff.com.

LOL! I love this! Read your on IWTYTBR and I agree with you. Would love to connect with you on a more personal basis!
Congrats on the IWTYTBR post, I really enjoyed it. This concept and site is kind of blowing my mind at the moment. Can’t wait to get your newsletter.
Thanks Hani & Ned. I’m looking forward to you getting the newsletter! Let me know if I can do anything for you.
I’m a jeweller/sculptor and am trying to figure out other ways of marketing my skills online. Your post on IWTYTBR came at the best time. I think there are alternative ways to show work other than solely through galleries. Look forward to learning a lot from you – thank you!
The title of your guest post caught my eye but I have already gotten past the syndrome. The way I look at myself at the moment is that I spent so much time developing my art I didn’t pay much attention to how to sell it. When I was getting started someone else sold my product well enough, when I figured out I was good enough to get more I no longer had the connections to find a money mentor. Now I am using you to help me survive the advise of “friends” who warn me not to get my hopes up because only other people ( rich, lucky, connected, criminal, etc.) make money and by the time you hear about an opportunity things ( time, situation, economy, etc.) will be different.
