Hey everyone! I've been working slowly these past few months on my site www.powerpainters.org.
The main purpose of the site is to provide a plethora of free and premium content for all digital artists-- aspiring and established.
At this time the only way I have for generating revenue is the premium tutorials, but I'm definitely open to other avenues as to how I can monetize the site or related aspects. I'm confident that through free marketing methods that I've researched I can grow my following, I just want to ensure that I'm giving them the best content that I can. SO that they're veritably excited to pay for it.
My current plan is as follows:
-Generate tutorials based on research, feedback, and every other factor that I can implement to determine what subject people want to learn about the most.
-Market the tutorials through blog posts, youtube videos, facebook, deviantart, twitter, tumblr, and any other vein I can crack open.
-Devise plans for testing other means of income generation, such as E-books, direct mentoring, Onine-Workshops, etc...
-Read every relevant book I can on generating wealth, Increasing my artistic caliber, and marketing/advertising psychology.
-Go to conventions one year to network with other artists and hand out business cards for PowerPainters. Go to the same conventions the next year except with enough money to purchase a table for power painters Merch and promotion.
-----------------------------------------
My plan in the interim is to continue to freelance as I have been, and aim for even more prestigious clients as my artistic abilities grow. Once I have done work for these big-name clients, my name is attached to well-known heavy-hitters in the industry, and marketing is done for me. This is one beautiful by-product of maintaining a strong freelance profile....Plus I get paid for providing them the value in the process.
essentially, I consider this about a 2-4 year plan, as the seeds I plant in many of these gardens will take some time to grow.
Anyway I'd love to use this thread to document my journey. I'm very, very open to critique and opinions as I humble myself in all areas of generating revenue and creating financial models that will provide value and last me for years to come.
Thanks for reading! I'm off to work on more premium & free tutorials. I'll be checking back and updating as regularly as I can.
**EDIT** I'd also like to note that as of right now, I have made NO sales thus far. Not disheartening, as I know it's only a matter of time. I just wanted people to know just how rudimentary I'm starting out.
