The Advanced Marketing Mastery Workshop on DVD

1 – Introduction
To learn fine printing and processing you most likely took a class on fine art printing and processing.  Fine art marketing is not different.  Learning fine art marketing requires taking a class on fine art marketing.  Why? Because if you don’t you will need to learn all of this on your own.  Time is precious because we cannot make more of it. Therefore, we are better off marketing our work using proven techniques that others have already figured out instead of trying to figure out what works on our own. Trial and error is wasteful of time and money and is best avoided.

The Advanced Marketing Mastery Workshop on DVD is packed chock-full with the information, the knowledge and the hands-on experience you need to sell your work. If you are just starting, this is the course you need to get all the information before you make costly and time-consuming mistakes. If you are already selling your work, and want to either increase your income, or fix problems that surfaced since you started, this is the perfect opportunity to learn how someone who has been making an income from the sale of his work for over 10 years is doing it, and doing it successfully.

Below are questions we are answering on the new Advanced Marketing Workshop on DVD as well as lists of topics we are covering on the DVD. As you read these lists ask yourself if you know the answer to these questions or if you know everything that I am presenting below. If you don’t, then keep in mind that your competitors — the good ones that is, the ones that are doing well– have this knowledge.

2 – Why study marketing?
If you do not have marketing knowledge equal to that of your competitors, and preferably greater than theirs, then you will not be successful when competing with them. This is because they know things that you ignore and these things are what makes the difference between selling and not selling your work.

In other words, you will not be putting the best chances on your side. You will be starting with a handicap, or with one hand tied behind your back, depending on how you prefer to put it.  When thinking about this keep in mind that in business not being successful means losing money.

The solution to this problem is to raise your knowledge of marketing and salesmanship to the level of your competitors and preferably higher than theirs so you go from being at a disadvantage to being at an advantage and in a position of strength. How do you do this? Simply by attending this seminar. Yes, there is a cost for attending and in that sense it may be easier, or less costly, to not attend. But think about it this way: the cost is $975. How fast can you make an extra $975 (actually less if you already have the Marketing CD because we give you a discount) if you sell your work efficiently? The answer is, it may take just one sale. It may take several, but I am confident that by using the knowledge presented in this seminar you will not only recoup your investment but make a much better income than if you did not attend, provided you implement the solutions that I offer during the seminar.

On the other hand, if you do not attend, how much money will you be losing that you could have otherwise earned? The answer is that you will never know. However, I do know. And what I know is that if I did not have the knowledge I present in this seminar –knowledge that I use when selling my work– I would not even be close to being as successful as I am. In my view, and I have a long experience in this regards, this knowledge is essential to being successful selling your work.

One more thing. I had to hire private marketing consultants at a much higher rate than what I am charging in this seminar to learn what I am going to teach you. I also had to spent years, literally, to learn the knowledge I am going to give you in 2 days. In my view, time is my most precious commodity. It is the one commodity that I cannot make more of. I can buy just about everything but I cannot buy myself more time. Granted, the Beatles told me that I Can’t buy me Love and I believe them but that is sort of besides the point. The point is that you cannot buy yourself more time. All you have and all you’ll ever get is 24 hr in a day. You may be the richest or the poorest person on the face of the planet and you still both have exactly 24 hr in a day. The difference between these two persons is not how much time they have. The difference is how they use their time. Personally, if someone told me that I can get the essential knowledge I need to sell my work in 2 days for $975 I would say “where do I sign up?” I would say that because to me this is a huge saving in time. It is also a huge saving in money compared to what I had to spend to acquire this knowledge. I literally spent tens of thousands of dollars paying others to teach me their marketing knowledge, far more than the fee for this Mastery Workshop on DVD.
