Q: Is this course good for (designers, authors, doll makers, contract killers)?
Yes, the Bootcamps are totally adaptable to every kind of creative freelancer. Everyone needs to do self-promotion and networking — that’s Bootcamp 1. If you have a website or need to show examples of your skills, that’s Bootcamp 2. And everyone needs to understand invoicing, chasing money, contract terms, and legally protecting your work, so Bootcamp 3 has you covered there.

Ok, maybe if you are a contract killer, then the portfolio section is going to be a bit hard to adapt, so email us, we’ll give you a discount code for Bootcamp 2.

Q: What is the difference between doing a course live and doing a recorded version?
There is almost no difference, except it is easier to go at your own pace with the recorded versions. You get the same written material, access to the community groups for each class, and access to the recorded live video sessions no matter when you register. And once you join a class, you are always welcome to re-take the same class anytime it is given again live.

Q: When are the next live sessions?
TBA. Sign up for the newsletter at the bottom of this page to stay in the loop.

Q: If I have to miss a session, can I watch it later?
Absolutely! You can watch them again and again, to your heart’s content.

Q: Once the course is over, will I still have access to the materials? How long will I have to see the material? Is there a time limit?
You have forever access. The whole point of this project is to get artists the knowledge they need. We’re not going to take it away!

Q: Why do you suggest taking a month for each module, isn’t that a lot?
This isn’t college, you can’t write this paper with one all-nighter. We’re info-dropping a LOT of material on you. All you really need to start optimizing your art career you get in the course materials. But it’s a lot  and it can be a little overwhelming. We include the live sessions so we can be your guides through the material a chunk at a time. The idea is that you’re working along with the class, putting the methods directly to work on your own social media and sites as we progress.

You will have access to ALL the info on day one. The live sessions are for you to bring questions after you’ve had time to get through everything and let it percolate. And since we know that even a month isn’t enough, there’s the FB group so you can keep asking, keep learning, and keep sharing with artists that have gone through the same material.

Q: I’m a struggling artist, paying for classes feels like a lot for me to afford. 
We get it, and it’s the “struggling artist” that we made the course for!  The truth is that any amount of money will make it hard for some people to join.

We want you to value and charge for your own work and we can’t do that if we don’t value our own. We’ve priced the course at the minimum we can to cover all the work and costs on our side (video recording and editing, website building and hosting, etc).

And you can offset some of the cost by becoming an affiliate. That means when you sign up (for any of our classes) you get a unique referral link. For every person that signs up, you get money back. And we don’t cap it. So not only can you get your course for free…you can actually make money on top. You’re welcome.

We’re dedicated to getting as much info to as many artists as we can. You can download our original Bootcamp one-sheets for free now, and come back to us when you can afford to take the bootcamps. But before you go, check out the testimonials on this page. These were all struggling artists when they came to us, and now they’re succeeding at making the art they want and getting paid to do it. Can you afford to keep struggling on your own?

If you have a question that wasn’t answered here, ask us by emailing info@makeyourartwork.com and we’ll answer (and probably add it to this FAQ)
