How Do I Start an Online Art Career – In Other Words, How Do I Become a Working Artist?

I do not know.  I needed to say that first.  I am trying to do just that, be a working artist.  I am actively working on my e-commerce website and it is almost ready to launch – maybe this weekend I’ll be able to show you it.  I just participated in the Medium Photo Review where I met some art industry folks who gave me great feedback on my portfolio.  Some of that feedback I am already acting on.  I have been reading a lot too.  Currently I am reading “Art Money Success” by Maria Brophy.  Lots of folks have said this is a good book to read (and do as it is a workbook).  I read Cory Huff’s book, “How to Sell Your Art Online”, which was very insightful.  I also read Jennifer Schwartz/Yoffy’s book, “Crusade for Your Audience”.  I liked it too and got some good information from it as well.  She was also one of my photo reviewers at the portfolio review.  And I have a body of work that is ready to go.  I have a proven printer and master framer on board as well.  So, I think I have all of the secrets for art success!  Thing is, there are no secrets, but I am learning, and applying that that knowledge where I can.  It is not easy, but I believe I can and will do this – it is where I want to go.  The vision is starting to coalesce.  Come on website!
