157: The Ultimate Art Licensing Handbook Revealed

Hello my friends. Happy Tuesday. Welcome back to the Professional Creative Podcast. Today I am here to talk to you about something that we are so excited about and I truly believe is going to be an absolute game changer for your career. It's a tool that is going to work as an accelerator for any artist or designer to dreaming of seeing their work on products out into the world. Today we're diving deep into the world of art licensing and I've got something so special to share with you.

I'm Bonnie Christine and this is where all things creativity, design, business and marketing unite. I'm a mama living in a tiny town tucked right inside the Smoky Mountains, running a multi seven figure business, doing the most creative and impactful work of my life.

But when I first set out to

become an entrepreneur, I was struggling to make ends meet and wrestling with how to accomplish my biggest dream of becoming a fabric designer. Fast forward to today. I'm not only licensing my artwork all over the world, but also teaching others how to design their creative life and experience the same success. I'm here to help you spend your life doing something that lights you up. I'll help you build a creative business that also creates an impact, changes people's lives, gives you all of the freedom you want, and is wildly profitable. Welcome to the Professional Creative Podcast.

Over the past several months, like nine months, my team and I have been pouring our hearts and our energy into creating something that we call the Ultimate Licensing Handbook.

Everything from fashion and home decor to stationery and technology. We created this handbook to solve our community's biggest pain point. I feel this myself and also hear it over and over and over again that navigating where and how to pitch your work can be one of the most daunting and time consuming parts of art licensing. It's hard to find companies that are actively looking for new art submissions, and it's even harder to figure out which ones are reputable and maybe even most difficult to figure out how to approach them confidently. So we have done the heavy lifting for you. This handbook includes streamlined processes, it includes pitch templates, tools to kind of demystify the art licensing landscape right away. It is a comprehensive directory of the absolute best licensing companies in the world and it's a guide that's going to Help you craft kind of captivating portfolios and navigate contract negotiations with confidence and ultimately turn your art into a profitable and sustainable career. And so here's the best part. We are launching this handbook for the very first time and we've decided to do so at a ridiculously affordable introductory price. So the handbook is worth so much, it is going to be regularly priced at $197. And for this introductory price, we're offering it at just $49 until August 20th. So not only do I want you to go get your hands on it, but I want you to tell everyone you know as well that they can get this thing massively marked down to $49 until August 20th. So why are we doing that? Because I want to make this accessible to as many artists and designers as possible. I just understand so much that finding reliable licensing partners is so difficult. And we know that this resource is going to make a huge difference. So based on the work that we've done, we're estimating that this handbook will save you 463 hours, my friends, that is 11 and a half weeks of full time work. And right now, until August 20th, it only costs $49. So my question to you is, how much is your time worth? Right? Way more. Way more than that.
