Budgets, Goal Trackers, and Other Tools for Your Art Business:
Once you’ve honed your craft and have products ready to share with the world, you’ll need tools to help you track the business side of things. The spreadsheets available on this site are:
- affordable yet powerful
- scalable for future years and will not expire
- templates can be saved as excel files, allowing you to choose cloud or local storage
These spreadsheet templates can help you get on track with everything from your budget to your social media campaigns!
How Can I Spread The Word About My Art Business?
There are two social media campaign tools to help you spread the word about your art business:
The calendar is robust and editable (Google Sheets), while the 30 Day Art Challenge is a basic primer that’s printable.
Having your small business tools in order and knowing how to use them is only part of the battle when starting an art business or other creative venture. Continued learning and perfecting your craft is first and foremost. Browse through my art classes to see if any of them can help you on your creative journey:
- Full figure panther sculpture with armature and firing instructions
- Small horse head sculpture, no armature needed
- Building a light box for better photographs
- See all classes
There’s also a LOT of useful information in the Blog / Helpful Articles section, including study guides for firing a kiln, drawing a horse head, and much more!
Downloadable Spreadsheets:
These templates range from planning your art business, to building a social media empire for that business, and everything in between. Keep an eye on this section as I continue to rebuild art business tools I’ve used for years, and build new tools and spreadsheets into a sharable format for both hobbyists and professionals alike!
