In this episode I’m talking about a few things I think are a MUST in order to create a successful art teaching business!
These 3 things are probably heavily responsible for the relative success of my art teaching business.
Here’s a summary of what they are…
1. Proactiveness
Being self driven and motivated, working every day without needing any external influences to encourage me.
If you’re asking whether you should or should not do something, and you’ve been debating it for a while in your mind without taking action, this is already a warning sign that you perhaps need to improve your decisiveness.
I don’t think I’d be able to do all the things I have so far, had I debated everything in length.
And you have to realize – I’m not against contemplating or making plans. But at some point it’s execution time.
2. Free Communication
Freely sharing all my best advice, techniques and tactics for free, online, without asking for anything in return.
This is something many artists hate, and thing reduces our value. But i disagree.
I think providing free value is the KEY to getting more business.
The days of trade secrets are over, information has been commoditized.
Let’s see who’ll get more students and followers, the person who posts TONS of free and valuable content for free, or the person who doesn’t have any online presence…
3. Routine & Structure
Building your work day and learning to become your own boss.
This is mostly about structure. You have to be dedicated enough to figure out how to work effectively and efficiently, and get things done.
You have to be somewhat organized and know what you’re doing.
You have to research and decide on what products and services you offer. You need to develop a marketing plan, a content schedule and so much more.
This ingredient is important for anyone wanting to be self-employed, so perhaps a more general one (much like the first one too).

Thank you Lola! 😊🙏🏼
Hello, I love watching you on Instagram. My first time browning here. I must say I completely agree with point 2! I like to take workshops, but they are expensive, so I will only decide on an artist if I have seen videos of teaching. To know if You likecthe way things are explained, shown … And it kind of gives you a feeling of someone ready to share, versus someone who only doesy so for money. So some artists I will never go to…
Thank you so much for your enthusiasm and knowledge!
Thank you so much Andrea! 😊🙏🏼
I really appreciate that.
Trying to share as much as I can, and improve my skills and experience so that I can share better things ^_^
Keep me posted on how it goes!
