Pricing of courses...what are some of these artists thinking?

Wednesday Apr 06, 2022

Jules, Rachel, and Stephanie discuss how they've noticed some artists are charging ridiculous pricing for courses. If you have a question you'd like us to discuss feel free to email us at hello@artistssoar.com

Key talking points:

Are artists trying to take advantage of artists with the pricing structure of the courses? Charging $1500 for a 6-week course is more than what you'd pay for a college-level focused course.
In-depth courses should have pre-requisites to ensure that everyone within the course has the same level of experience.
We kind of get fired up about everyone taking advantage of artists.
To find the success you need from these courses you need the self-discipline to get something out of the course.
Copyrighting for content go to Jim Edwards's book Copyrighting Secrets. and his software is trafficsecretsscripts.com
Emails should be short and sweet...Headline is the #1 thing to focus on. Use this headline analyzer to help with your open rate.
You cannot take a 6-week course and expect to be successful.
Keep in mind that these course providers are only showcasing their top 1%...
Do the research on the teachers that are selling the course to evaluate whether they are worth it. Look at LinkedIn, their shops, Google them, their Facebook, etc.
Art classes and business classes from artists should be the same price rather than devaluing their art side.
Put your courses at a realistic price.
Artists need to stop devaluing their art courses.
