A basic need for every artistically creating person should be able to live from his art.
In order to secure your own existence, it is essential to make money with art . In fact, contrary to the majority perception, many artists can live well from their creative work these days. Nevertheless, a vast majority of all freelance artists are dependent on further sources of income (e.g. giving courses, order work, part -time jobs, etc.).
The recognition as an artist often does not yet bring any direct financial security. Therefore, artists are often life artists at the same time.
However, the possibilities of being able to live on your own art have grown greatly through the Internet and social media. As an artist, however, you have to be versatile and flexible to be successful. A certain degree of perseverance is also essential.
Customer care and self -marketing are also important pillars for success as an artist .
