Artists that are serious can make $100k/year. Yup. I said it. It's super doable, too. Not easy. Doable. I share a tiny bit of things I've been learning from my time spent in the world of business. Yes, artists are stereotyped as being bad business people but unfortunately, we don't have a choice anymore.
I make a prediction that in 25 years the market will be 95% freelancers. Being an artist means you ARE a business owner. Yup. CEO Artist, that you. So you have to know about branding and content delivery and how the market ebbs and flows.
