IS IT TIME YOU CREATE A LIFE DOING WHAT YOU LOVE?
Use your creativity to build a thriving online art business
Welcome to Art Abundance Co., where you'll find the tools, resources and guidance you need to create a thriving and profitable online business from your art.
Hi there, I'm Corinne
I'm passionate about creating art, and I'm just as passionate about using my creativity to run a thriving online art business.
A few years ago, I hit my first 7 figure milestone at corinnemelanie.co, and in that moment I felt so grateful that I could truly make an abundant living from my art.
Today, I'm grateful to share that I have more freedom than ever before, work on my own terms, create art that lights me up from the inside, and have plenty of time left over for the things in life that I love - my baby girl, my husband, my dogs, my health, fitness and yoga.
Now, my goal is to help you grow, by sharing the tools and resources you need to create wealth from your work. I'm sharing everything I know to help you maintain a fun and fulfilling art practice, while running a profitable and thriving business at the same time.

INTRODUCING
THE ART of ABUNDANCE ACADEMEY
Here's what you'll learn
You'll be guided through the essential elements of building a profitable art business to ensure your success for many years to come.
Module 1
Create Art that Actually Sells
Create a strong vision
In this first module we prepare your mindset for success, and cover what it takes to create art that actually sells. You'll craft a clear vision for your artwork, including your colour pallette, shape and form.
By delving into current interior design styles that complement your artwork, you'll gain the insight needed to ensure your art is both visually cohesive and market-ready. With a solid plan in place, you'll be equipped to create stunning, sellable pieces even before picking up your paintbrush.
Module 2
How to Make & Sell Art Prints
Decide on Your Product Mix
Ever wondered how online art stores offer such a vast range of products? Many online art galleries sell made-to-order pieces, allowing customers to receive their artwork within a few short weeks.
In this module, you'll learn how to implement exactly the same strategy. Have artwork for sale on your website at no cost to you, and only pay to make it when a customer places an order. You can't loose.
As a bonus, you won't need a big shed full of stock because the art is shipped straight to your customer from your printer or framer!
We’ll also explore how print sales can complement or enhance your original and commissioned painting sales, along with strategies to run your store in a way that aligns with your lifestyle goals.
Module 3
Pricing Your Art for Profit
get crystal clear on your costs, profit and decide on your income
Pricing your products involves careful consideration of various factors such as supplier costs, shipping, and other business expenses. It's essential to ensure your pricing strategy leads to profitability.
In this module, I provide step-by-step guidance along with a downloadable spreadsheet to help you price your work effectively. This tool allows you to determine the exact cost to fulfill each product on your website and understand your profit margins.
With this methodology, you'll be able to predict and decide on your income upfront, ensuring you have enough profit left over to offer customer discounts and invest in paid advertising if desired.
Module 4
Building your Brand, Marketing and Increasing Exposure
Get art sales with effective social media marketing and beyond
The largest and meatiest module in the whole course!
In this module, we focus on branding, marketing, and getting discovered by buyers. Effective marketing goes beyond just social media, and I'll share my four-platform strategy for success, helping you establish multiple income streams when selling your work online.
We'll cover the best practices for visually marketing your artwork, designing a beautiful brand and website, writing compelling product descriptions for your art that sells, and presenting yourself authentically on social media in a way that feels natural and comfortable.
This comprehensive approach ensures your brand stands out and attracts the right audience that wants to buy your art.
In addition to the guidance above, you'll receive a plethora of downloadable tools, resources and templates to create your Brand Plan, Social Media Marketing Plan, Social Media Schedule, Reel Filming Prompts & Caption Ideas, and much, much more.
Module 5
Your Business Plan & Strategy for the Next 6 Months
Creating your Abundant Life and Thriving
You won't be left wondering what to do next at the end of this course. In this final module, you'll receive a comprehensive 6-Month Business Plan template to help you apply everything you've learned and set your goals for the next six months.
You'll get clear action steps for building a thriving, profitable art business. We’ll also discuss how to maintain well-being and balance as your workload increases and orders grow.
