Artpreneur: The Step-by-Step Profit Guide for Creatives
Thomas Nelson
About the author
As an experienced art business expert and artist, I'm Miriam Schulman and I've built a multiple six-figure art business through my unique "Passion to Profit" planning framework. After a career in the corporate world, the events of 9/11 led me to pursue my true passion for art. Although I initially struggled to market my small creative business, once I discovered that time-tested sales strategies could also be applied to marketing and selling art, my art business took off.
With over 20 years of experience selling art and teaching other artists, I've been featured in major publications such as Entrepreneur, Forbes and The New York Times and my art has been featured on popular TV shows like NBC's "Parenthood" and Amazon's "Hunters" with Al Pacino. My book, Artpreneur: The Step-by-Step Guide to Making a Sustainable Living from Your Creativity provides a comprehensive guide on how to make it as an artist and shares these artists' success secrets for the first time. You can also find me on The Inspiration Place podcast which is listened to in over 100 countries or work with me inside The Artist Incubator Coaching program.

Before I began painting again I began changing my life in other ways as I took her advice. I chose to believe in myself, focus on my strengths and for the first time in years began to take care of myself. I began to feel confident and optimistic about the future. Her book runs the gamut in covering all of this too! I bought the paperback so I could take notes AND I got the Audible version because it's narrated by Miriam in her signature style.
I highly recommend listening to her book if you are unfamiliar with her podcast to get the full experience! This book does not disappoint and I am excited to follow her Passion to Profit framework she has outlined. I'm no longer putting off my dreams or waiting to be happy 'when'. I'm happy now. I'm setting goals, learning how to break them down into action, focusing on my wins and... I'm painting again, also taking piano again after not playing in decades. I'm finding joy in my every day life and Miriam doesn't know it but she has played a big part in my transformation. This book is for any artist, artpreneur or entrepreneur - really just anyone who wants to transform their life!
Finally, if you've been struggling to make a living from your art Miriam tells you step by step how to do it. She wasn't born with a silver spoon but made her way through hard work and determination. Since leaving her lucrative career on Wall Street she's been making a living as a thriving artist for over 20 years and gives practical, actionable steps that will work for anyone. (get the Audible too and experience Miriam's signature style - you'll feel like you're being personally coached by her!)

I will admit: even after reading many books in the past, Artpreneur makes me feels like I can do it… I don’t just have to read it and out it on a shelf—I can do what Miriam is suggesting. It also helps that I follow and witness her success on Instagram. Wherever she comes up in my feed, it’s another reminder that I CAN DO IT!!
Real Life: I haven’t even finished the book yet but I’ve started completing the assignments at the end of the chapters. After reading through chapter 5, I stepped out and did something I would only read about in the past! I sold out of the spots I offered through my art classes in ONE HOUR!! Artpreneur has given me another level of boldness and confidence!
I’m now going to invest in this book for my art patrons. EVERY new, budding and thriving entrepreneur (not just artists) should read this book!!
Also. I listen to Miriam’s podcasts during my daily walks. They reinforce what I’ve read and keep the creative fires stoked.
Thank you Miriam!!
