My Experiment in Selling Art Online-The First Major Decision

7 years ago

This is an update to let you know about a major decision I've made in my experiment in selling art online. I've been reading a lot of books, watching videos, teaching myself new things, and just generally learning as much as I can about what is required to put an online business together.

In that process, I had to come to grips with the first rule of business: that it isn't a business at all if it doesn't pay its employees a fair wage. Since I don't need another hobby, (I already have one of those), I had to find out right at the start how many paper mache sculptures I could make in a month, and what would be a fair and reasonable price to put on those sculptures. Once I had that information, I could tell if a business built around selling the sculptures would be able to pay its employee a reasonable wage. (By 'employee' I mean me, of course. I'll be the only one doing the work.)

Watch the video to see what I discovered. And be sure to stay tuned for the next video, where Jessie Rasche, (she's my daughter and an award-winning painter), shows us how to paint fur on our sculptures. You won't want to miss it, and it should be online soon.
