Eat Your Own Dogfood
"Eat your own dogfood." What does it mean and why is it so important in business? Supposedly originating from Microsoft in the 19080's, the premise behind "eat your own dogfood" is simple...

Focusing on Success
In today's episode we talk about focusing on success and what it means – mainly customer success. We're going to talk about it from the context of Art Storefronts and then in the context of artists themselves. It's really profound and super important. Art Storefronts' main focus is customer success. We start with customer success and build a product from that. It's a completely different mentality than most businesses. This is significant because we are not biased with where people should be marketing, what products they sell, whether they sell originals only or limited editions, or only courses. It doesn't matter. What matters is the success. You start with the success, and then you build an entire program and product around that success. Where to go from here? What are the next steps? How can you learn more?

Is the Pandemic Re-Surging? How This Affects Artists and Their Ongoing Strategy.
The Pandemic Re-Surging. What does this really mean for artists and photographers? What is the point here? The point is, this thing isn't going away anytime soon. Every photographer and artist already learned, if you were hurt by the lock downs you had the wrong strategy for your business. As a business owner, you can go direct or indirect. Indirect is when you sell through 3rd parties, but 100% of the time, at some point, the rug will get pulled out from under you. When you are relying on 3rd parties, you have a very risky business strategy. The direct strategy is where you get consistent income because you market direct, you sell direct, you don't rely on anyone else, you make the most money from your work, and you end up with the most money in the end. So with a resurgence in the pandemic, this is another wake up call for those who are still running an indirect business model for their art business. Where to go from here? What are the next steps?

The Random Show: Making Sure You Have the Right Art Business Strategy
Most photographers and artists think the only way to sell art is through 3rd parties, like galleries, and this is what causes the starving artist problem. The right art business strategy starts with focusing on building a direct art business. A direct business is when you are doing your own direct marketing, your own direct sales, you own your customer list, you make the most money from your artwork, and nobody can take anything away from you because you own all of it. You are not dependent on any 3rd parties to make sales. Indirect is when you are selling through 3rd parties (galleries, publishers, etc). What happens with 3rd parties is the rug always eventually gets pulled out from underneath you, as many people learned the hard way during this pandemic. Make sure you have the right art business strategy and set your business up for long-term success. Where to go from here? What are the next steps? How can you learn more?

There is a major tendency for photographer and artists to over-analyze their businesses and look for perfect solutions to their problems.

Why You Should Launch a Direct Art Business ASAP
The only way to consistently grow your art business is to stop relying on 3rd parties (galleries, marketplaces, etc.) to sell your art. When you own your distribution, when you own your customer list, you are in control of your business and you can actively grow your business. When you rely on the algorithms of marketplace websites, and when you rely on galleries to sell your art, you are in control of nothing and your income will be unpredictable and unrepeatable.
