Pricing of courses...what are some of these artists thinking?

Jules, Rachel, and Stephanie discuss how they've noticed some artists are charging ridiculous pricing for courses.  If you have a question you'd like us to discuss feel free to  email us at hello@artistssoar.com

Key talking points: 

• Are artists trying to take advantage of artists with the pricing structure of the courses? Charging $1500 for a 6-week course is more than what you'd pay for a college-level focused course.
• In-depth courses should have pre-requisites to ensure that everyone within the course has the same level of experience.
• We kind of get fired up about everyone taking advantage of artists.
• To find the success you need from these courses you need the self-discipline to get something out of the course.
• Copyrighting for content go to Jim Edwards's book Copyrighting Secrets. and his software is trafficsecretsscripts.com 
• Emails should be short and sweet...Headline is the #1 thing to focus on.  Use this headline analyzer to help with your open rate.
• You cannot take a 6-week course and expect to be successful.  
• Keep in mind that these course providers are only showcasing their top 1%...
• Do the research on the teachers that are selling the course to evaluate whether they are worth it. Look at LinkedIn, their shops, Google them, their Facebook, etc.
• Art classes and business classes from artists should be the same price rather than devaluing their art side. 
• Put your courses at a realistic price.
• Artists need to stop devaluing their art courses.
