In our experience, part-time photographers and fine artists looking for advice online fall into two categories:
Those that are doing anything and everything they can to climb their way to that full-time artist lifestyle – quitting their day job, saving for retirement, and living off of their art.
And those that are happy to keep art a part-time fixture in their life, and would simply like to earn as much as possible from that part-time commitment.
Whether you fall into group A or group B (or are undecided and just feeling it out), all part-time artists have one thing in common: they can improve their sales with less effort than they probably think.
