What are the core fundamentals every artist needs to focus on to build a real art business?

You must have your art on a website that you own. You must be capturing email addresses. You must be emailing those addresses with campaigns. Your art needs to have visible pricing. You need a range of pricing from low to high. And you cannot go inconsistent — you can’t close the gallery doors and disappear for months. If you do these things consistently, your business will start growing and moving in a positive direction. These are the basics that hobbyists skip but that anyone serious about an art business must implement. It’s not about any specific tool or system — these fundamentals apply regardless of how you build your site or what email platform you use.
