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 Aumanmarketing + PR, recommended readingPosted on February 2310 Comments

In the recent poll here on Crafting an MBA, the number one area people wanted more help in is marketing and PR.  But less people noted that they needed help with sales.  This makes me wonder, is the goal of marketing just to get someone to look at your work, or are you doing everything …

4 mailing lists you must have

by Megan Aumanbusiness basics, marketing + PRPosted on February 1725 Comments

Yesterday’s post on business cards generated some questions in the comments about mailing lists, and whether you should add contacts who give you their business cards to your mailing list.  I don’t have a one size fits all mailing list, and I don’t think you should either.  Here are the four types of mailing lists …

may I have your business card?

by Megan Aumanmarketing + PR, showsPosted on February 1614 Comments

I want to talk business cards for a minute.  But not your business card (you do have a business card, right?).  Other peoples’ business cards. I was fortunate enough to walk the Buyer’s Market with Tara Gentile, editor of Scoutie Girl.  Throughout the day, I would watch as Tara would walk into a booth, introduce …

DIY marketing materials

by Megan Aumanmarketing + PR, recommended readingPosted on January 267 Comments

I’m headed to NYC at the end of the week for the gift fair (I’ll be exhibiting), so I spent most of yesterday in my office making little catalogs for the cozy/cuff.  I decided to go the DIY route for my catalogs partly out of budgetary concerns, and partly because none of my online printing …
