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 so much….I know have an appreciation for how much time it takes to do this! I just finished my first tute this afternoon & downloaded it to YouTube. Glad I watched the video on YouTube tips, I learned quite a bit.

Thanks for the help! Part 5 with adding the overlapping photo didn’t work directly for me. I had to adjust the settings on iMovie from the default and research quite a bit to figure out how to achieve what you were doing. (just a heads up)

That said, I don’t know how I would have ever known how to begin figuring it out without you or the terminology. I’ve always wondered, too. So a million thank yous for the help!
