Sophie Mahir’s “Art Business Academy” Membership
Confidently grow a sustainable, profitable art business from scratch with my 6 Simple Steps to Success; no guesswork, no overwhelm.
Then we’ll continue to guide you as you build that art business and start to love the process, because you now understand how rewarding it can be to follow our easy planning, marketing, and sales methods and get those positive results; rather than crossing your fingers and hoping someone one day might buy!
The doors are closed right now. But will be open again shortly.
I've need some time to step back, re-evaluate and now improve things behind the scenes. We're almost ready to open up again...
Don’t just take it from me…

If you can relate to ANY of the following…
Then my fellow creative, I made the Art Business Academy Membership specifically to help YOU start your very own sustainable, profitable Art Business from your passion.
-
You’re fed up working hard - either for yourself ‘trying to make this art thing work’ OR in that JOB (where you are making money for someone else).
Isn’t it about time you get to do what you really want? Time to put a stake in the ground and say “enough” - I want to turn my own hobby into a solid, reliable, profitable business.
-
You’ve had a grounding realisation.
You know it IS possible, you can see other artists doing it. You’re just not sure ‘how’ to make it work for you. You don’t have any ‘business’ experience, but you’re sure you can learn if only you had some help..
-
You want to get paid properly for doing what you’re passionate about.
Not just sell a few things (artwork, prints, products, courses, workshops etc) occasionally…or sell something only to discover that your expenses are more than the money from your sales.
-
You love the idea of designing a flexible art business to support your ideal lifestyle.
Work the hours you want, from anywhere in the world (if that’s your thing)...be around for your partner, family, children or grandchildren.
-
You’re ready to get serious about growing a thriving business.
Even if you’re not sure where to start, what to focus on, or you’ve not got much to sell quite yet.
-
You want to learn from someone who has actually done it.
And you’re fed up listening to ‘experts’ who aren’t artists, haven't made a living from their art, or are just jumping on the ‘sell your art via Instagram Reels’ wave. Luckily I built my own art business the traditional way, long before Social Media, and have taught plenty of creatives the solid strategies that will work for them with or without those Socials.
If you’re nodding along, thinking “yes’ that’s me”
The Art Business Academy Membership was made just for you!
When you join, you will finally…
1. Create a simple, manageable artists’ business plan that will support you building your sustainable, profitable business.
2. Discover how to optimise your time, so you can wear both the ‘artist creator’ and ‘business owner’ hats at the same time with ease.
3. Create artwork and/or art services (workshops, courses, retreats, memberships, etc) that your audience really wants to buy.
4. Learn how to market and sell those products and/or services so you are making a profit.
5. Discover ways to scale your art business, so you can make more money in less time and enjoy that freedom lifestyle.
6. Celebrate paying yourself a salary from the art business YOU designed and built that now supports your lifestyle.
