How to Ditch Your Day job and Become a Full Time (Insert Job Here!)
Thursday, March 20, 2014 Filed in:
Marketing for ArtistsThis article written by
Anna Wray, “
How to ditch your day job and become a full time illustrator,” came via
Creative BloQ, and it's a “must” read for anyone who is thinking about becoming a successful independent (freelancer) Artist. Just substitute the word “Illustrator” for whatever is that you love to do!
Still for an animation for “A Cruel Bird came to the Nest and Looked in' Magnus Mills” for Bloomsbury Publishing
In the article they cover the following:
• Choose your specialty...
• Setting aside a specific time to work...
• Offer “friend’s rates”...
• Send something lovely in the mail...
• Sell stock illustrations...
• Start a part-time course...
• Contact agents...
• Embrace social media..
• Keep going...
Again, a must read for any Artist who is considering the “big jump!”
Cheers!
