4 Freelancing Tips For Artists

The freelance lifestyle is swell. You can pick your own projects, choose your own hours and be your own boss. It's the artist's dream.

​

There's a couple draw backs though, the main one being that you never know where your next pay check is coming from, nor when that next dry spell's gonna hit.

​

Getting contract work and commissions is often hit and miss, and most opportunities seem few and far between. Not a super big deal for the artist drawing up a storm in his mothers basement. 

​

For those with bills to pay and mouths to feed however, living the freelance life style is a major gamble.

That is unless you can get clients coming in on a regular basis.

​

So in this video I'll give you 4 tips that'll help you get your freelance career up and running, with regular commissions and clients that pay you a decent rate to do what you do best - create art. 

​

Here are some of the main points I've covered:

1. How to create a winning portfolio that attracts clients
2. How to accurately price your art
3. Where to find client work and get art commissions
4. How to forge a powerful network of clients and solid reputation

​

At minimum this should give you a good place to start if you're someone who wants find work as a freelancer or simply sell your artistic services to clients who come directly to you.
