My name is Carl. I am an artist and owner/creator of CAKUart.com, which is an art marketing and inspiration resource website for thousands of artists around the globe.     Just because I am an artist who has done quite well, doesn't mean that I know it all or get it right all the time. Believe me, I reckon I have made more mistakes than I have had hot dinners. Some really bad ones too.      One major problem many artists suffer from  is believing in the "exposure myth". I believed in it once upon a time too.      You've probably heard it all yourself…     "Why don't you put your art in the Café down the road? It will be great EXPOSURE for you," is one of the most common suggestions I received when I first started out.     Friends, family and colleagues, who really mean well, are often the biggest culprits. Gosh, we love them though don't we? Although they want you to succeed, they don't know a lot about marketing art.     "Why don't you try and sell your art on the Internet," is yet another common suggestion.     Granted, the Internet is a marvellous tool for promoting, marketing and selling your art, but it does take a bit of time to really grasp the mechanics of marketing your art for sale online.     You have to build a website, create a blog, upload content, deal with technical website stuff, set up an online shopping cart to receive payments, and most importantly of all… you have to know how to continually drive lots and lots of traffic to your website. There Is No Easy Solution; But There Is A  Slightly Better Solution    build your online presence.  Well, what if you didn't have to deal with all the website stuff for the time being, and could sell your art while you     What if you could put your art in front of lots of "targeted traffic" – the kind of traffic that is actually looking to buy your art, and not the kind of traffic who visit café's to eat - or the kind of traffic at an airport rushing to catch a plane.      In other words; authentic "art buying" traffic!     How good would it feel to be right in front of people who WANT art and have the money to pay for it?     Wouldn't it be great to be amongst "impulse buyers" who have ventured out of their homes to attend an event, knowing full well there will be art on display for sale?      Yes, of course. I mean; I know it feels good, I have experienced it for myself many times over.     That is why I firmly believe one of the BEST ways to market and sell your art is through outdoor shows and festivals.     Why?     Outdoor art shows and festivals provide what you ultimately need… a target market of buyers.   Also... Exhibiting your art for sale at outdoor shows and festivals allows art buyers to see your artwork in flesh. You get to personally interact with people and explain your work, which helps to add significant value to your art. Art buyers get to see your artwork for what it truly is. They get the experience the ENERGY of your art. Outdoors shows and festivals are like giant marketing laboratories for an artist – you are constantly exposed to genuine feedback, you can establish who your customer is, and you can test your marketing plan as much as you want until you begin to experience the results you want. And …you get to network with other artists. Participating in Outdoor art shows and festivals provide what you ultimately need… a target market of buyers.        So what does all this actually mean for you? The greatest benefit of being amongst a target market of buyers is being able to sell your art. You can exhibit your art to impulse buyers, and both novice and experienced art collectors. Create your own collector base, this can mean repeat sales – and build relationships with people in the art industry. If you are selling, you are creating – which means you are continuously generating a cash flow in order keep developing your craft. Networking with other artists will provide you with a wealth of information, great tips, advice and encouragement.    So I guess...my point is...if you want to put an end to the...   "Getting-exposure-for-the-sake-of-getting-exposure" malarkey, and avoid dealing with any of the technical online website stuff (for the time being anyway) to just focus on actually selling your art - then outdoor shows and festivals is the solution.      "Get Your Art Out There! - The Artists JUICY Guide To Selling Art at Outdoor Shows and Festivals" details everything I've learned and applied for getting the BEST results for selling your art from your own exhibit stall.      The best part is...     You don't have to re-invent the wheel and go through the same learning curve I did to figure out what really works. I've done all the leg work for you.     I've written this book as a step-by-step information resource to help you succeed in selling your art at outdoor shows and festivals.. It's not often that you come across a book that is both content-rich and delightful to read.  You know... the kind of book that not only answers your questions but also inspires you, makes you laugh, rekindles memories, alters your understanding about who you are and what you do, and illuminates the human element in every equation.

Thanks Carl Malcolm Barker Malcolm Barker Art How Do I Know What I Know About  Selling Art Anyway?     Truth is; I didn't do very well at all when I first started trying to market and sell my art at fairs and outdoor shows.          Have you ever had that super-low feeling of rejection in the pit of your stomach? Well if you have, then you know exactly what I was experiencing.     I didn't manage to sell any art.      Man-oh-man was it so frustrating to stand beside my exhibit stall all day long and not get any interest from the passing public. After the days count (there certainly wasn't anything to count, but you get my drift) I realised that the whole event had actually cost me money!     "What the...?"     I didn't give up though. I got smart pretty quick. I started asking questions, talking to people who knew what I needed to know. I applied new techniques and took note of what actually worked. I bought books on marketing. I listened to old "sales and recruiting" audios. I got some business coaching.      I kept adjusting my approach, and then things started to take off. As a result; I started seeing a LOT more traffic coming through my exhibit display, art sales and the money that accompanies it. I also started getting commission work.       I actually started to build a very "responsive" customer and collector list. In other words, I started to personally experience REAL success!     I actually began to ATTRACT people like a magnet (and I'm really not as cool as I may sound by the way).      Don't get me wrong; I'm not telling you this to show off. I am merely trying to press upon you; that you to can achieve the same results, if you work hard, and follow the tips and techniques I have detailed in my book.      I have to be upfront and tell you that I have not held anything back. This is your complete 215-page, step-by-step art marketing guide to outdoor shows and festivals.     Once you own a copy of my book, you will be able to truly expand your world as an artist.
