Suzan

👉 “I sold 3 paintings in one week — without lowering my prices!”

Before:
“I kept feeling like the only way to sell was to drop my prices. It was discouraging and I started doubting if people would ever pay what my art was really worth.”

After:
“Once I started applying the strategies, I realized I didn’t need to discount anymore, I just needed a clear offer.”

Marinao

👉 “Even with just 200 followers, I finally started seeing sales.”

Before:
“I thought you needed thousands of followers before anyone would buy your art. With such a small audience, I felt invisible.”

After:
“I learned it’s not about the size of your audience — it’s about how you show up and what you offer.”

Margaret

👉 “I pre-sold 4 pieces from a mini-series in 3 days.”

Before:
“I had ideas scattered everywhere and no clear offer. Posting didn’t translate into sales.”
After:
“The guide helped me choose one income stream and package it simply.”
