About

An artist that loves oil painting, business, & my cat spooky 💫 Artists tend to be a bit lost when it comes to the finances and business side of things, and I'd like to change that. My videos tend to be highly educational, talking about marketing, income streams, and entrepreneurship for the aspiring visual artist. I also share my journey studying the art fundamentals and leveling up my own art skills over time, as well as the evolution of my business.

Video Description

Let's get a little vulnerable and talk about money! Thank you to Squarespace for sponsoring the channel :) https://squarespace.com/kelseyrodriguez 👉 Get my free 15 page guide with 40+ product ideas for your creative business: https://www.kelseyrodriguez.com/product-ideas?video=zmWD4zgwykg&utm_source=yt-zmWD4zgwykg I am super fortunate to make money in a bunch of different ways from my creative endeavors, both as an artist and an art content creator! From my online store, sponsorships, affiliate marketing, and now mentorship, I've got a lot of stuff going on. I think pay transparency is important because it ensures that other artists compensate themselves fairly for their work, and have the tools they need to truly advocate for themselves. My particular case shines a light on how you don't necessarily need to focus on a product-based business to succeed creatively. We live in the modern era of social media, and that definitely has its pros and cons, BUT the pros are pretty good! And if for whatever reason you think I don't make enough money from my prints, well, you're always welcome to buy some :) https://www.kelseyrodriguez.com/shop 🌿 MY LINKS & STUFF Get a free preview of my new book! https://www.kelseyrodriguez.com/workbook?video=zmWD4zgwykg&utm_source=yt-zmWD4zgwykg 👉 💌 Get my content planning guide and stop letting marketing steal time from your creative work: https://www.kelseyrodriguez.com/goals-to-content 💬 Join the free Discord server: https://discord.gg/the-studio-lounge 💌 Sign up for my email newsletter!! https://www.kelseyrodriguez.com/newsletter?video=zmWD4zgwykg&utm_source=yt-zmWD4zgwykg 🚨 WATCH THESE VIDEOS NEXT ○ Sponsorships 101 (all the advice I have!): https://youtu.be/LjMCNn-0LmY ○ 15 Career Paths for Artists: https://youtu.be/waIErI3nsjY ○ My updated art business goals for 2024: https://youtu.be/N5cK_HtP2PY ○ How to start selling digital products: https://youtu.be/qw5h46bz-Sg 📖 RESOURCES FOR ARTISTS How I'm learning art online (use code KELSEY20 for 20% off!) https://sentientacademy.com/link/0NFlXI 💌 BEST email marketing tool for artists*: https://www.beehiiv.com/?via=kelseyrodriguez 📚 My art book collection: https://bookshop.org/lists/my-art-book-collection 🎨 How I plan my paintings: https://milanote.com/kelseyrodriguez ⚙️ GEAR & FURNITURE ⚙️ *referral / affiliate links* ○ Desk & Chair From Fully: https://bit.ly/3U8xJXt ○ My monitor stand and fave desk accessories: https://bit.ly/3fr5e8A ○ Main Camera - Sony FX30: https://amzn.to/3ZxxKYH ○ My lens filter: https://www.moment.8ocm68.net/RyZ9P9 ○ Where I get my music from: https://www.epidemicsound.com/referral/so8fhf/ Email for business inquiries ONLY: [email protected] * Referral or affiliate links in this description allow me to gain a small commission off of any purchases you make through the link, at no extra cost to you.
