Artists and Profit Makers: an online community and mentorship program for creatives who want to make like artists and profit like businesses by Megan Auman

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!

by Megan Aumanbusiness lifePosted on May 136 Comments

A few months ago I started working with an amazing nutritionist. As a result, I’ve adopted an entirely new way of eating (I refuse to use the word diet) where I’ve given up processed foods and refined sugars. No cheese, no milk, no white flour, no white sugar. When people learn about my new eating …
