Who am I to tell you how to start a blog?
I have been blogging for an art business for over ten years. Making many mistakes and learning some things the hard way, I am at a point now where I can share a comprehensive guide to set up your blog efficiently.

Static outdated artist websites abound on the internet. Even worse, I discover many abandoned sites because the artist did not find success with them.
My mission is to help as many artists and creatives as possible to be successful with their business. And that’s why I’m offering all of this information for free.
But, here’s the deal.
If you want to start a blog that builds your art business, you need to put in a lot of hard work.
Starting a blog might take you less than an hour to set up. But building a successful blog that will grow your business will take more time.
But it is possible to grow your art business making money, and I will show you how.
Let’s Get Started
