Hi there! I’m designer, metalsmith, and educator Megan Auman and I teach artists and makers how to profit from their creativity. I firmly believe that art, craft, and design make the world a better place, which is why I hate to see artists and makers undervaluing their work.

Whether that’s underpricing, burning out, or not marketing or selling to their full potential because they “don’t want to bother people,” I want to see artists and makers ditch the guilt and fear and start making real money from their work.

Here at Artists & Profit Makers, I share business advice I’ve learned running my eponymous jewelry line over the past seventeen years – everything from pricing to wholesale to product photography to yes, sales and marketing.

But more than that, I help artists and makers bring their businesses into Alignment so you can build a business that makes you money AND makes you happy!

thanks for your patience

I know its been a little quiet around here as I wrapped up preparations for the New York International Gift Fair, and then spent the week exhibiting at the show. (Only one more day to go!) I also know that lots of people have been finding their way to the site this past week, which I am totally grateful for. Thanks to everyone for your patience with the lack of posts this week (hopefully its given some of a you a chance to catch up on some of the posts and all the comments on Etsy and the culture of cheap!) I just wanted to let you know that next week I’ll be back with regular posting and a full report on the show!
