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.
