Use your talent and creativity to make money
Have you ever see people selling their painting at the street? Do you know how much can they sell? Actually, those people are great and very talented, but the way they promote their paintings is somehow not effective. If they can offer their artworks to all people in the world with reasonable prices, I am pretty sure that they will make more money because the target group is bigger and the medium to communicate is almost boundless.
Yesterday, I have came across this great video in YouTube of a guy drawing Mona Lisa using just MS Paint.
Being curious to see other videos from him, I checked out his profile and saw that he is actually a great artist. At the end of his videos, he puts his web address, which will lead to an eBay page. There he sells his portrait drawings and you can also buy a custom made portrait. Looking at his feedback score, I assumed that he had made about 48 sales in his store. Making money doing something we love to do is the best way in earning money.
The way he promote his business is a great idea. Using the phenomenon of youtube to attract the customers to your store is just brilliant. Look how much hits the video got, 454636 views with outstanding 2698 comments.
Now, it is time to turn your hobby into money making machine.

That’s a pretty great piece of viral marketing, but 48 sales for half a million video views is a non-existent convert rate. He could probably have leveraged the exposure better…

But you got to be a great artist too. Regarding the conversion rates, I’d think that Art is not a consumer type product and you’d expected it to be lower. Think about how many sales an artist makes compared to how many view his art in a gallery or museum?
And ~50 sales is much more than many artists have to show for.
