An atriste or even artist needs to know how to sell himself. There are many talented people but they are unknown because they don't do much of exhibition. Just like the poster highlighted, there is nothing bad in starting without aiming at the money but the fame. This can be done by uploading one's works on social media for exhibition.

There are a lots of people in this world that has lots talents and skills. And also talents to become an artist but they don't know how to monetize their skills and talents. Not everyone is aware of how powerful the internet and social medias are truly are, especially people in my country are talented but a lot of them don't know their way out.

If you're an artist one of the best ways of making people notice you used to create an online presence on social media platforms such as Instagram and Twitter. Then you can definitely tell your followers to redo it or opposed to your work whenever you make a new painting or drawing.

I like the assertion, it is good to start without wanting to make all the money. Like they do say pay your dues first, then the money will naturally start rolling in. but the most important thing is to use the right channels that money can be made from to start out

I was more engaged on rap music earlier on as a teenager. Up to now I can still rap fine, I do mimic P.diddy, and snoop Dogg rap style. They are my rap role model including the deceased 2pac. I opened a YouTube channel for my musical career, but discouragement from friends, family, and well-wishers cancelled my dreams out.

There are many ways for artists to make money. Some work in music, some work in film, some write books and some paint pictures. There are lots of different ways to make money as an artist.

One way that many people take is by selling their products online. You can do this with art prints, paintings or even sculptures of your own design. You could sell them through eBay or Amazon or your own website. If you have a good eye for design then you might even want to design your own cards or prints and sell them on Etsy!

Another way of making money as an artist is by writing a book about your experiences in the creative world and selling it through Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing or Ingram Spark eBooks (there are other publishers too). You can also self publish using CreateSpace or Blurb if you want to keep control over the distribution side of things.
