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!

fear is a terrible excuse

by Megan Aumanbusiness growthPosted on December 710 Comments

One of the biggest excuses I hear for people not doing the things they need to do for their business is fear. Fear of failure. Fear of losing money. Fear of rejection. Fear of looking stupid. You name it. Well today I’m here to call bullish*t. There are so many reasons that businesses don’t succeed, …

get off the Internet and grow your business

by Megan Aumanbusiness growthPosted on October 156 Comments

I’m a big fan of the Internet. It’s provided a lot of opportunities for my business. (After all, without the Internet, I wouldn’t have Designing an MBA.) But when I think about the opportunities that have grown my business the most, they all seemed to happen OFFLINE. I built a thriving wholesale business because I …
