Sell your work
from Show Your Work!: 10 Ways to Share Your Creativity and Get Discovered by Austin Kleon
How to Apply This
-
Turn your audience into patrons.
Ask for donation - Include a virtual tip jar, or a donate now button on your website. Using some human emotion triggers sentences such as “Like this? Buy me a coffee.” -
Sell your product.
Connect with your audience, share valuable work with them, and then be free to ask them to support you by buying your product. -
Try Kickstarter, Indiegogo, or some other platform if you need the upfront funding for some project.
To be financially supported by your audience, first, you need to make a meaningful, warm, honest connection with your audience, to share important and valuable things with them - that will motivate them to help you. -
Set a fair price.
Don't hesitate to charge for your services, but set a fair price. -
Keep a mailing list.
Give and share good website content, collect emails, and then sell your product via email.
