Starting a business as an artist.

Turning your passion into a business is something many makers, creators and artist dream about. However diving into the messy business of starting a business can be a little overwhelming. It’s my intention that I can break down the aspects of starting a business into bite sized pieces that are easier to handle.

Let me also say there are thousands of videos that will give you business advice and I would say watch as many as you can handle. I’m providing you a basic road map, things that I did that worked for me, you’ll have to dig deeper into your local requirements to all of the necessary detail.

The domain search tool I typically use is www.godaddy.com however you can also use www.wix.com and www.yahoo.com
