If you donāt have a clear pricing formula, youāre not just guessing ā youāre losing sales and bleeding money.
Too many artists leave shows with nothing but their art and a date to pick it up. No sales. No profit. Just wasted gas, framing costs, and time theyāll never get back.
š If you canāt stand in your price, you canāt stand in your value. And if you canāt stand in your value, you wonāt sell.
This isnāt theory. Itās survival and lived experience. sovong this problem will open up a new way of selling and making money with your art. It did for me.
THE TRUTH: GUESSING KILLS SALES
Most artists pull numbers out of thin air:
āWhat do I think someone will pay?ā
āWhat are other artists charging?ā
āWhat feels safe enough not to scare off a buyer?ā
Thatās not confidence. Thatās fear. And fear wonāt get you paid. Fear leaves you broke.
THE PAYOFF: A FORMULA CHANGES EVERYTHING
When you have a formula, you stop hoping and start knowing.
No more guessing.
No more stomach-drop when someone asks the price.
No more slash-and-burn discounts out of desperation.
š„ A formula turns your prices into fact ā and buyers respect facts.
ā No formula = no sales.
ā Formula = confidence + money in your pocket.

MY HARD LESSON
When I first started selling 15 years ago, my prices were chaos: $200 one week, $700 the next. No logic. Just vibes.
That inconsistency killed my confidence. Buyers pushed back, and I folded. Every sale felt like a gamble.
The day I built my pricing formula? Everything shifted. My numbers became non-negotiable. I stopped apologizing for my prices. And guess what? Collectors from all over the Country started paying them.Thatās the power of having a system.
