Episode 146 - Selling More Artwork with Marie Elizabeth
What if offering artwork actually saved you time instead of taking it? Marie Elizabeth transformed her photography business from $99 sessions into a sustainable full-time career by working just 4-6 days a month with average sales of $3,000-$4,000. In this episode, she walks through the five critical pitfalls that keep photographers from profitable artwork sales and exactly how to avoid them.

Not Sharing About Artwork Enough Understand the marketing strategy behind consistent artwork visibility, including sharing about products regularly on Instagram and featuring them throughout your website.
Leaving Clients to Make Decisions Alone See why busy luxury clients need guided ordering appointments to actually follow through on purchasing artwork instead of defaulting to digital files.
Not Believing in Your Offerings Explore the mindset work that helped Marie go from $99 sessions to confidently presenting $4,000 albums, including practical strategies like affirmations and focusing on value over price.
