MAKING A MARK: Artists – Do you have a Profitable Side Hustle?

Genie Touvell 1 year ago 2 min read

I know a amount of artists whose taxable cash flow comes from a portfolio of pursuits and money streams – and notably consists of a aspect hustle.

I am considering about producing about the form of Artists’ Aspect Hustles which have proved Prosperous in

diversifying the activities of a (would-be) skilled artist (as in “I am aiming to make all my cash flow from artwork”)
creating one more revenue stream
lowering the chance to your economic wellbeing when all art gross sales all of a sudden dry up.

What is a Side Hustle?

Facet Hustle is a term which has come to be far more well-known in the final decade or so – and relates in essence to

ways of earning additional cash
Rewarding means of producing funds
supplementary profits in addition to your typical primary supply of cash flow

i.e. if you happen to be expending time and income on exercise but it’s not earning you income you never have a facet hustle – you have what may pretty very well be a total squander of time. Only time will explain to.

Though it can be about building revenue, it is NOT about scams or fleecing people – which is referred to as swindling!

Facet Hustles can also market creative imagination and discovering enterprise skills!

The unique varieties of Artists’ Side Hustle

For me the two crucial groups are:

some thing that relates to Artwork
anything else!

They can also be:

a thing quite regular / work associated e.g being an artwork teacher
one thing predictable in a self-used capacity e.g. functioning as an illustrator or proudly owning a frameshop
something you invented your self e.g. the workshop no person has shipped before
…and anything inbetween

Furthermore routines which

entail a third get together e.g. platforms for offering on-line workshops or providing “item” employing your artwork as decoration
are wholly sent by the artist e.g. Jean Basquiet generating/marketing signed postcards to promote (eg to Andy Warhol!)

My purpose is to write initially on this site and then

I would like to consist of unique illustrations in the latter – mini case scientific tests if you like
