Where Do I Begin In Selling My Work? 3 PRACTICAL ACTION STEPS!

Today we get super practical in selling our artwork. This video is for the photographer who has wanted to sell their work to start pursuing side income, but has no idea where to start. We cover 3 practical action steps that you can take today to start selling work, and we literally remove any and all excuses.

Action Step 1: Choose 2-3 images you want to offer as prints, and then choose one print size to stick with at first.

Action Step 2: Post the images up on your instagram story, and more importantly, tell the story behind the images. Begin to build the emotional response with people, and get them connected to the story of the image.

Action Step 3: Confidently ask for the sale. If you're wondering what to sell the prints for, just start off at a price you are comfortable asking for, and progressively work your way up.

If you don't have a printer, and don't know where to go to get your prints done, check out both Mpix and AdoramaPix. Each have drop shipping methods that take all the hassle off your plate, and allow you to deliver professional prints to your purchasers.

Im curious to hear what you guys think of this one. Lets get the conversation rolling in the comments down below.

You can join us live Today at 5PM EST On YouTube Live. We will discuss todays topic, as well as other creative process topics. We hope to see you on the stream!

My name is Nick Mayo, I am a Michigan based film photographer and creative sharing my triumphs and struggles within the world of art and photography.

Let me start of in saying, I am not claiming that this is the only way to sell work, or even that this is the best way to sell work. But this video is for anyone who has just been stuck in not knowing where to even start with selling their work. You've had a desire to start selling prints, and have wanted to fund future projects with the sales of your work, but don't even know where to begin. Maybe you dont have a printer, and arent at a place where you can do darkroom prints, or afford a home inkjet printer, or you have prints but you're wondering where you should sell the prints, and how that even works. I give 3 super easy, practical action steps to get you started in selling your work. I shoot for removing nearly every excuse I have heard from photographers along the way in this series, and make it incredibly approachable.

Let me know any questions or concerns you have, here in the comments section! And if you implement these 3 steps, come back in a week or so and let us know how it went. Did you have success? Did you feel like it was a flop? Lets walk through it together.

How are you paying tax on your sales??

Telling people how to respond to an artwork or how they should feel about it is EXTREMELY condescending
