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!

It’s no secret that I read a lot. Especially business books. Though I have been known to mix that up with other choice non-fiction. For instance, I’ve spent the last two days reading Tim Ferriss’s The 4-Hour Body. Despite the fact that I hated Ferriss’s first book, The 4-Hour Work Week, I couldn’t resist the …

Last week, I officially passed the one year mark for Crafting an MBA.  It’s been an amazing year.  I had no idea when I started this blog what the reaction would be, or that there was so much of a need.  And so I want to say THANK YOU for all your support, for reading, …

read any good books lately?

by Megan Aumanrecommended readingPosted on June 2327 Comments

I’m headed to the beach later next week, and you can bet my Kindle will be getting a good workout while I’m there.  Now I know I’m usually the one recommending books, but I thought I’d turn it around and ask you for your recommendations. Read anything good lately? Or is there anything you’re dying …

by Megan Aumanrecommended readingPosted on May 1218 Comments

Yesterday on Design*Sponge, I shared my top 10 must read business books.  (If you’ve just found your way over from D*S for the first time, welcome!) I included Craft Inc. on that list, and while I consider it a fantastic resource, it’s not the only book on the market aimed at anyone running (or looking …
