How To License Art

For all the artists scratching their heads about licensing…

hope is on the way! It will arrive on Tuesday, September 22nd at 5 pm PST / 8 pm EST to be exact.

After 10 months of questions coming in like, “What should I do first to license my art?” and “How do I know if my art will work for licensing?” I finally got the hint. Or lightening bolt of inspiration. My “a-ha moment”. Something. But I got it.

I will be doing a 45 minute call to give beginners the basics… what licensing is and how it works. It is interesting to hear how so many artists have “stumbled upon” licensing. Have you ever heard that about art show or galleries? Nope. Art Licensing is a little elusive sometimes.

The goal is for you to get off the phone polarized. You will think “Yes” or “Heck No!” I want you to say to yourself, “Oh that sounds interesting. I might like it and I want to learn more.” or I want you to think, “Oh heck no! That is so not for me. Glad I figured that out in 45 minutes instead of 45 days or weeks!” If you are still scratching your head and confused, I didn’t do my job. (And I always do my job!)

Something new just for artists beginning to learn about art licensing…

For the past 10 months I have been doing a free, monthly “Ask” call, answering questions sent in by artists like you. We’ve had fabulous questions and content that is helping artists at all levels – from beginners to those who have been in the industry a while. I’ve learned a lot when I have special guests like Paul Brent, attorney Cheryl Hodgson and Joyce Lukczar of FontSite.com.

Each and every month at least one or two people will ask,

“How do I get started in art licensing?”
“How do I know if my art is a good fit for licensing?”
“What should I do first?”

These are GREAT questions! Hard to get started and use your time well if you don’t have the basics. (And everyone has to learn it at some point – no one is born just ‘knowing’ what to do – so no question is a bad question. If you have it, someone else does too!)

I have decided to put together a $20 introductory call called “Art Licensing – Beginner Basics”. For 45 minutes by phone, I will explain how it works, what to expect and where to start. This is a great investment for people just hearing about the concept of licensing. You will leave the call knowing if art licensing might be for you or just doesn’t sound like a good fit.

If the call is well received, we’ll do them regularly. At minimum, the replay will be available after the September 22nd live call date.

So if you want a more detailed answer to “How do I get started” then you get on the monthly calls, go to www.ArtLicensingTeleseminar.com/start.html to see what we will be covering. Hope to talk with you on the 22nd!

Here’s to your creative success!
