Totally worth it.
I found the book so interesting and to the point. It's super helpful, and I like that it is designed well. Now it's time to practice what I learned.

One of two best art business books I have found!
I'm an artist who just recently graduated with my art degree. I was looking for some books about the business side of art, and this is one of the best art books. It talks about email lists, pricing, selling, and most importantly, mindset. I love how the beginning of the book debunks the "starving artist" myth, and overall adds a lot of value to the reader.

A basic outline of your Unique selling proposition.
I pre-ordered the book and read it in a few days. There are some really good points and I walked away with a clearer picture of what my next steps are. I got a few answers in this book that I have not been able to find in other books/art marketing gurus. He goes through some things about a website that is good for you to know, but that part wasn't useful to me as I already have an established site not far off from what he describes. If your goal is selling the work, read this book. It puts things together here for you in regards to the art business and making sales online. The fulfillment process is not outlined like how to calculate shipping if you are fulfilling the orders yourself (selling sculpture). I wish the Unique selling proposition portion of the book was outlined a little more.It was easy to read. Some times books like these are just a long sales letter for hiring the author as a consultant. I was concerned about this as a I pre-ordered the book. I am glad that he focused on delivering actionable content and keeping the consultation at a minimum.All in all I would recommend this book. If you are at a point in your career where you need the why behind content marketing, this book has it.

Great Book on Owning Your Art Business
This is actually an art foundational group that uses the web and social media to help set-up, sustain you with real-time applications, links, exercises and a support group community that you can dive into as much as you want. If you like a smart leader and intelligent community, this is one of the best. Those that use the services and subscriptions have seen great success.

A review from an Abstract Artist
This book was not an easy read. I found myself flipping through to get to the information I wanted to read.There was not anything new or different in this book. I preferred Maria Brophy - Art Money Success to be a good read.And also had useful information.

A very insightful, full of tips & easy to understand for new art-reprenuers
This was a very easy read packed full of good info and tips. Granted some things like specific tools may be older since it’s from 2016 but still applicable but the marketing principles are solid and I think timeless. A great starting point and framework for me to hone in and build my small, new art business online. Highly recommend and I am in Cory Huff’s email list and follow his IG page. Worthwhile joining too!

A solid book for creatives who want to learn how to market their work online
I had been waiting for this book to come out for several months and it did not disappoint. "How to Sell Your Art Online" does just that, describing the building blocks for a successful on-line marketing strategy.This book will be extremely useful for artists who do not have a lot of experience marketing their work online or those who have gotten their feet wet, but aren't really sure about how all of the marketing pieces fit together. Cory explains how those pieces: email, a website, and social media combined with a savvy approach to business can help the artist create a successful online business. At the same time, he argues that this requires a steady commitment to the business side of art.For those who do have a website as well as a substantial mailing list and social media presence, this book may be less useful. Nonetheless even experienced online marketers are likely to find useful nuggets of information, particularly in the last two chapters on social media and measuring your efforts.Finally, this book is just simply a good read. Cory knows art and tells engaging stories.

Perfect for solo creatives/artist
City nail it! I read several books on business and e-marketing looking to improve my income as CG designer. So far, I couldn't fill the gap. Meaning that I couldn't relate all the business and marketing theory into my industry; questions like what kind of need people fulfill when contract my service?Maybe is me, been totally neophyte in business. But this book helps me to fill the gap, to nail it, to finally internalize all I read to this point and have clarity of what I am doing.I truly recommend it for those struggling, but also I recommend don't stop with this book and go deeper to the subject. This book will help you to understand why business mind set and marketing is as important as making our art.Hope that made sense and helps you to decide.
