with host artist Miriam Schulman
Most artists think they have a sales problem, but what I see over and over again is something deeper and harder to admit. I’ve coached incredibly talented artists who are selling consistently and still stuck financially because they’re pricing for a quick yes instead of long term profit. When you chase fast sales, you’re not building a business, you’re feeding an emotional loop that keeps you overworked and underpaid. The real shift happens when you stop measuring success by speed and start trusting the value of your work. If you’ve ever lowered your price just to feel that moment of relief, this conversation will hit close to home.
“You cannot build a sustainable art business on emotional decision making.” – Miriam Schulman
In this podcast, you will…
- Explore how pricing and positioning impact your ability to sell consistently
- Create a strategy that supports sustainable growth without burnout
- Understand what actually works today to build a profitable art business
“You’re not pricing your art based on value. You’re pricing it based on emotional relief.” – Miriam Schulman
