MenuSell my art creations

Hi,
Another option you have is start looking at creating a simple website, average expense should cost minimum $90 per month with the option to buy online.
As for a free starter, i would recommend Marketplace or Amazon best. You would be having a clear idea of the market offers and you would also be able to have your arts on a competitive rate.
There is the option of also using Alibaba or Wish but this might end up you paying part of the shipment, so not really recommendable for now.
Hope this helps a little.

Working remotely and having more time for your self to work on what you enjoy to do is the first step to a successful life. That's how i started my journey with amazon and my own business, and now all I do is work on what I enjoy doing.
There are many ways to sell you art or services:
1.) Sell your artwork online: You can create an online store on platforms such as Etsy, Shopify, or Amazon Handmade to sell your artwork. You can also sell your digital art on sites like Society6 or Redbubble. ( selling on a multiple online store will provide the best outcome)
2.) Commission work: You can offer commission work to clients who want custom pieces of art. You can advertise your commission services on social media or your website
3.) Teach art: You can offer art classes or workshops online or in person. This could be a great way to share your knowledge and skills with others and make some money in the process..
4.) Sell your artwork on social media: You can use social media platforms such as Instagram or Facebook to showcase your artwork and sell directly to your followers.
There are multiple ways you can approach your business idea but this depends on where you live and what you like to do.

Hi, like my other peers, I will suggest Amazon, Ebay and Etsy. Best of luck on your endeavors!
Take a look at artstorefronts.com. They provide over 10K artists with websites and tools to properly display and sell original art as well as prints, which is a great way to get expose and new purchases from existing customers. They provide a monthly marketing plan for you to follow which is basically a "playbook". They advise on social media, which is essential for your marketing, but you have to do that yourself. I found the organization for my son. He is attempting be do art full-time. I'll do all his marketing and technology things in the beginning, and gradually shift all of it over to him in time. It's a pretty steep set-up cost, which they will finance over several months, but the monthly hosting fee is $50. They earn 10 to15% of your sales, which incentivizes them to help you be success.

What should my consulting rates be as a freelance developer who can also do SEO, social media optimization and other marketing services?
Pricing for different tasks that require the same amount of time from you tells the Customer (and your subconscious) that you're working at a 5 on task x, but working at a 9 on task y simply because it costs/earns more. That seems to be a disconnect. Your time is your most precious asset, and I would charge for it whatever you're doing. If you build a site, and they are happy with your dev fee, but feel like you should charge less for SEO, simply let them find another SEO guy. That's their choice, but YOU are worth $xx.xx, no matter what you're doing. Also, in general, take whatever you're charging and add 10% to it. If you're still busy, add another 10%. Let the demand level determine how much work you do, and at what cost.SL

Business partner I want to bring on will invest more money than me, but will be less involved in operations, how do I split the company?
Cash money should be treated separately than sweat equity. There are practical reasons for this namely that sweat equity should always be granted in conjunction with a vesting agreement (standard in tech is 4 year but in other sectors, 3 is often the standard) but that cash money should not be subjected to vesting. Typically, if you're at the idea stage, the valuation of the actual cash going in (again for software) is anywhere between $300,000 and $1m (pre-money). If you're operating in any other type of industry, valuations would be much lower at the earliest stage. The best way to calculate sweat equity (in my experience) is to use this calculator as a guide: http://foundrs.com/. If you message me privately (via Clarity) with some more info on what the business is, I can tell you whether I would be helpful to you in a call.TW

Whats the best way to find commission sales reps?
This is not my specialty, however, I have been in your position many many times -- maybe this will help. If the product is in-tangible, then look for JV partners on the Internet. Try to find an expert that deals with these JV opportunities (like me). If the product is physical, then look for sales organizations that have networks of sales people across the country. You do the deal with the organization and the independent network of sales people sells your product. It's a sweet setup if you can negotiate a margin that works for everyone. Hope that helps - Cheers - NickNP

What do (bootstrapped) startups offer to new sales hires? Commission only? What are some good examples to keep people motivated and still survive?
Generally bootstrapped startups should avoid salespeople, for a few reasons: a. they typically can't afford the base and overall comp required to attract sales people who can actually sell / or afford to support them with marketing, management, etc b. it will be very difficult to find the rare person with the right mix of sales and startup DNA along with the critical domain knowledge, consequently the startup is likely to settle c. the founders need to be very involved in the selling and customers will demand it That said, if the plan is still to hire a salesperson, find someone who has demonstrated sales success in startups and is excited by the early stage in company building. Create a comp plan heavily leveraged on sales results (unless you are in an industry where 100% commission is a common practice, would recommend against $0 base as this creates the false impression that your hire isn't passing time with one company while looking for another job with a richer comp plan - you want your rep focussed). Sell the vision and opportunity to be part of a growth story. I have written a several blog posts on hiring sales people into start-ups.

What happens to a convertible note if the company fails?
Convertible notes are by no means "earned." They are often easier to raise for early-stage companies who don't want to or can't raise an equity round. Equity rounds almost always require a simultaneous close of either the whole round or a defined "first close" representing a significant share of the raised amount. Where there are many participants in the round comprised mostly of small seed funds and/or angel investors, shepherding everyone to a closing date can be very difficult. If a company raises money on a note and the company fails, the investors are creditors, getting money back prior to any shareholder and any creditor that doesn't have security or statutory preference. In almost every case, convertible note holders in these situations would be lucky to get pennies back on the dollar. It would be highly unusual of / unheard of for a convertible note to come with personal guarantees. Happy to talk to you about the particulars of your situation and explain more to you based on what you're wanting to know.TW
