How to sell your Art like a Pro with By Art House Reproductions www..com.au
Introduction Hi! I m Mark of Buy Art Now. In my many years of working with artists and photographers I ve discovered there are really only 2 kinds of artists - those that make a living as a successful selling Artist and the second, produce brilliant pieces of work, but often struggle to cover materials, let alone make a living from their art. That needed to change. We needed to create a SYSTEM to support artists who want to earn a living selling their art that lets the Artist get back to what they do best creating masterpieces, and a SYSTEM that takes care of the rest! After six years of research we have created that incorporates the best entrepreneurial practices available to help Artists and Photography Artists sell their work to a world-wide market, and also leverage their efforts to give them repeat income over and over and over again. Please take time to read through this information kit as it will outline the how the system works and how you can end the STRUGGLE and become someone who says earning a living as an Artist has never been so easy!
