424: The Girl Scout Cookie Method For Selling Art

with host artist Miriam Schulman

What if selling more art isn’t about working harder, but about getting your art into the right room? I’m using the Girl Scout Cookie Method to show you how trusted relationships can put your work in front of collectors who are already primed to buy. You’ll discover three practical ways to partner with businesses, organizations, and well connected people, even without a gallery, a huge following, or a studio in an arts destination. Because sometimes you don’t need more art or more exposure, you just need better distribution. 

“This Girl Scout isn’t working harder, but she has better distribution.” – Miriam Schulman

In this podcast, you will…

  • Discover how the Girl Scout Cookie Method can help you reach art collectors without relying on galleries or social media alone.
  • Explore how to create partnerships where the artist, the partner, and the guests all benefit from the experience.
  • Learn why a small body of available artwork does not have to stop you from creating an intimate and compelling selling opportunity.

“You don’t need enough art to fill every wall. You need enough art to start a real conversation.” – Miriam Schulman

  1. Dear Mrs Schulman,

    By far, the most important tip was that LinkedIn is the best place to sell art, not FASO, not Daily Paint Works, not eBay, not Amazon, not Etsy, etc.
    A single email template from LinkedIn to connect with all kind of art Collectors, galleries, publishers, museums, etc.
    The advantage is that LinkedIn have all the contact names there.
    The most impressive is the AI LinkedIn guide, when it comes to assembling the emails with the images included and the promo headlines, etc. That’s the winner!
