368. The Cost of Doing Business as a Muralist


Listen Later

This week's episode on the Artist Academy Podcast is all about understanding the true cost of running a mural business. From essential tools like projectors, iPads, scaffolding, and lift rentals, to ongoing expenses such as marketing, software, and website maintenance, we’re breaking down the financial side of being a professional muralist. 

I’ll take you behind the scenes of my own business, breaking down everything from supplies like brushes, paint, and scaffolding to the recurring expenses that keep things running smoothly, such as Kajabi, Dropbox, and VA services.

We’ll explore what it takes to build a sustainable art business, from maintaining a website to running marketing campaigns and ensuring operations run efficiently. We’ll chat about how to price your work effectively, ensuring you cover both tangible and hidden costs—such as materials, marketing, business operations, and the time you dedicate to your projects. 

Tune in for actionable insights that will help you price your work appropriately and avoid costly mistakes, putting you on the path to building a profitable mural career.
