As part of the **Erasmus+ KA210 ArtBiz** project (*Sustainable Creative Business*), we’re sharing essential practical tips to help artists and creative entrepreneurs build a thriving business.

Check out the **5 Mistakes Creatives Make When Selling Online** (and how to fix them!):

1. **No Clear Price** 🏷️
* *Problem:* People don’t ask—they just move on.
* *Fix:* Make your prices clear, visible, and easy to understand.

2. **Blurry Photos** 📸
* *Problem:* Poor images make even high-quality work look unprofessional.
* *Fix:* Use crisp, well-lit photos that showcase your art at its best.

3. **Hidden Contact Info** ✉️
* *Problem:* If potential buyers can't reach you, they can't buy from you.
* *Fix:* Make it simple for customers to contact you directly.

4. **Too Many Platforms** 🌐
* *Problem:* Trying to be everywhere often means connecting with no one.
* *Fix:* Focus on the key platforms where your audience hangs out and post consistently.

5. **No Follow-Up** 💬
* *Problem:* Interest fades quickly if you don’t stay in touch.
* *Fix:* Follow up, build genuine relationships, and turn interest into lasting customers.

🎨 Creative freedom also needs financial structure.
You don’t need to wait until your creative business grows to start building better money habits. In fact, the best time to create them is before you really need them.
A few simple routines can make a big difference:
💳 Keep your creative finances separate
🧾 Put money aside for tax
🔎 Track what comes in and what goes out
💶 Remember to pay yourself
🛟 Build a small financial buffer
None of these habits needs to start big. What matters is making them part of the way you work.
Because knowing where your money goes means less uncertainty, better decisions and more freedom to focus on your creative work.

A great creative project should begin with more than a good idea — it should begin with a clear agreement. ✍️
Before starting any commissioned work, make sure both parties understand and accept five essential points:
📌 The scope of the project
💶 The agreed price
📅 The deadlines
🔄 The number of revisions
💳 The payment terms
Putting these details in writing does not need to involve a long or complicated contract. Even a clear one-page agreement can prevent misunderstandings, protect your work and help build a more professional relationship with your client.
Before you say “Let’s get started”, make sure you can also say “We have it in writing.”
Save this checklist for your next creative project.

ArtBiz Project. Charge what you’re worth” sounds empowering — but it is not a pricing strategy.
Your personal worth cannot be measured by a price tag. Your prices, however, should reflect the real value and resources involved in your creative work. 💶
Start by calculating a sustainable base price:
➕ Materials and direct costs
➕ All the time invested in the work
➕ A fair share of your business expenses
➕ A profit margin that allows you to grow
Then compare your price with the market. Consider similar offers, your audience, your experience and your positioning — and adjust where necessary.
The goal is not simply to charge more or match what others are charging. It is to set a price that customers can understand and that enables your creative business to continue, develop and thrive.
How do you currently calculate the price of your creative work? 🔎
