Does your website and/or blog need a new look? Are you frustrated that you are not getting enough traffic to your sites?

For three years I have been offering private art consultations to artists. It’s one of my favorite things to do and I have to be honest with you. It works. I have a 100% satisfaction rate. I have clients that have signed up for four consultations. My last client took 33 pages of notes during our ninety minute consultation.

So why does it work? If you have been listening to my radio show, "Artists Helping Artists" you will know that I have unlimited ideas and suggestions when it comes to selling art on-line. As an artist myself, I understand what it is like to sell art “in the trenches”. But the difference between my consultations and all of the other marketing offers out there is that this one is all about you. I spend hours studying your website, blog, facebook, etc. and discuss with you all of the things you can do to sell more art. We will discuss new ideas for your website and blog, put together a plan to create marketing materials, get you signed up on facebook, whatever you need! This is your chance for personal one-on-one marketing advice ... with an artist ... who knows exactly (from personal experience) what you need to do to sell more art.

Wondering if I am qualified to give marketing consultations? Well, for the “fist half” of my life I worked in marketing for 30 years in the “corporate world”. For the last five years I have developed a love for painting. So I created a blog, website, facebook profile and fan page, created the #1 Art Show on Blog Talk Radio, got my work in to galleries, sold images of my art to the largest art licensing company in the world and got my art on the #1 TV show in the U.S., Modern Family.  So far, so good.

“Leslie’s Cheat Sheet”

You will also get access to a password protected resource titled “Leslie’s Cheat Sheet”.  This is an on-line webpage that includes a list (with links) to all of my resources. This includes  many of the tips mentioned on the “Artists Helping Artists” blog talk radio show and the resources I have used to market and sell my art on-line.  It has taken me a long time to put this together and I am happy to share it with you! Plus, it’s getting updated all of the time.

Why do you need a marketing consultation?

1. 1.As I mentioned, I worked in marketing for over 30 years. I have been “in the trenches” selling my art on-line and I know what it is like as an artist to sell your own art. You can learn from my first hand experience.
   

2. 2. I offer hundreds of free tips every month on my blog talk radio show titled “Artists Helping Artists”. Be sure to listen to past recorded shows on the internet here.
   

3. 3. Just one marketing session will enable you to make major changes to your blog and website. These changes will help re-position your work and make it easier for collectors to buy your work.
   

4. 4. Each consultation is personalized and includes only suggestions that apply to your art, website and blog.  There is no “cookie cutter” approach. I promise. Each consultation lasts ninety (90) minutes and takes place via phone or skype.
   

Pricing:

A 90-minute Art Marketing Consultation is priced at $250.00. This includes a separate session in which I spend advance time looking at your website, blog and marketing materials. Plus it includes access to “Leslie’s Cheat Sheet”.

To sign up for a consultation, just click the Buy Now button. Upon receipt of your payment I will email you a questionnaire to complete and schedule the appointment with you for your consultation.

Testimonials:

Leslie,

I just want to thank you so much for your marketing expertise.  Our session was invaluable!!  I wasn't sure how much more information you could give me that I had not already listened to on your show, but boy was I amazed.  You took so much time to research my personal stats and had such in-depth suggestions that I was bowled over.  You truly are a marketing genius and I am in the process of implementing your solutions.  You came to the table completely informed in all areas of my blog and website.  Not only was the call fun it was so professional and informative.  You have a way of becoming everyone's most educated best girlfriend.  I was worried I wouldn't have enough questions to fill the 90 minute session, but you answered my questions before I could even ask and gave me information I had not even thought about asking.  It was a wonderful experience and I recommend your expertise to any one seriously pursuing a career as an artist.  The only suggestion I might make is that I wish there was a way to have it recorded.  I took notes, but still feel like I might have missed some.  Every word out of your mouth was like gold, and I hate to waste any of it.

Leslie,

I thoroughly enjoyed my consultation with Leslie!  First I received a questionnaire that was thought provoking and eye opening for me!  It really helped me to formulate some goals and assess my efforts so far in marketing and selling my paintings.  She then spent time getting to know my sites and how I was presenting my work.  It made our  time very productive!  I took lots of notes and could hardly wait to get started when I got off the phone.  She is so generous with her knowledge of marketing and has a strong desire to help other artists be successful.  As a result of my efforts with Leslie and helping people purchase my work, I sold two paintings the next day totaling 500.00! I gained a new confidence in the business side of art and highly recommend her!  Thank you Leslie!

Leslie,

I have to tell you since I went through my website and changed prices on paintings ... putting some in the $400 to $500 range, I have sold two $550 paintings. Thank you. It was the right decision.  Just wanted to say thanks. Oh, and I have two new workshops up and going with students too.

Leslie,

You have given me so many wonderful ideas - a couple of which I have already implemented - and I am very excited about pulling all of the invaluable information you gave me together to make my blog and website work better at selling my art.  

In addition to to all of the phenomenal advice you gave to me, it was true pleasure just to talk to you.  You're a lovely person, and I really enjoyed our conversation this morning.

Thank you so very much,

Claire

Dear Leslie,

Well, you've got my nose to the grindstone, but you were absolutely right... my marketing conference with you was very fun. And, boy, do you generate the ideas!! It took the eyes of an objective professional, such as yourself, to see how to make my online presence more cohesive and effective overall. I look forward to being able to continually implement more and more of the plan we discussed.

I really appreciate being able to take advantage of all your knowledge and enthusiasm. I can see that "Leslie's Cheat Sheet" will be a constant "go to" in bringing it all together. Your support and generosity is much valued and so many artists will be able to benefit from it, as with Artists Helping Artists. Thanks so much, and don't be surprised if I sign up again, in the future, for a second go round and 'tune-up'! 

Sincerely, Mary Maxam
