[Progress Thread] Artists journey to Fastlane

[Nikorasu]

I’ve made posts here before about 5 years ago at the start of my journey to turn my art into a Fastlane business. Back then I was very naive to say the least and had no idea what I was in for. My posts came off more like deluded day dreaming than any concrete plan of action. But 5 years have flown by and in that time I’ve taken classes to improve my art skill and business knowledge, Have won some writing contests and even been self-published in a collaborative project.

With that said, even factoring in my day job and other responisbilities, I feel like I should be way way farther than I am now.


So with this thread I plan to actively record my journey to becoming a Fastlane artist. I’m confident that eventually I can make 6 figures or more from my art with a good percentage of that being passive and in line with the CENTS commandments.



My target this year is to make $5000 a month in sales from my art, with the ultimate target of making upwards of $30,000 a month in a creative business. A pretty ambitious target, I know. How do I plan to make this Fastlane dream a reality? Here’s a Birdseye view of my current art business idea:


- Improve my art and writting skills (complete)

- Find a niche (complete?)

- Start a project within that niche (in progress)

- Release project

- Marketing

- Build a reputation / known brand in that niche

- Sell and release products until $5k profit

- Create a course / educational material

- Scale an educational course driven business within my niche to $30,000k a month


So essentially I’m creating a moderately successful art business and brand, releasing a project, and then creating an Educational business to help other artists achieve similar success with their projects.
This business model is pretty common within the online artist community and in my opinion its possibly one of the only models that allows modern artists to achieve 6 figures following the CENTS commandments. I have a few case studies of this working successfully and I have a potential niche that is underserved that could lead to a decent profit.


My first obstacle is becoming a leader in my niche as an actual artist. So when I release the “How-to” it’s reputable and backed with experience.



So PHASE 1: Start a successful art business within my niche


Then PHASE 2: Create an educational course business of digital content and scale it to Fastlane


Phase 1 will be the most difficult. My first business idea is to release a series of prints within my niche and I plan to share that complete process in this thread.



I’m welcoming any feedback on what I have currently. I’m determined to be one of the few threads in these forums for artists who have dreams of going the Fastlane route.

Thanks!
