Favorite Path--Chris Guillebeau

Favorite Paths


Like many writers, I write because I have to. All these words come into my head and won’t leave me alone until I get them down on paper. What if I could satisfy my passion for writing and actually make money in doing so?


Chris Guillebeau , a successful writer himself, has put together a 55 page downloadable PDF book called The Unconventional Guide to Art and Money. Chris says,”Most artists fail not because they lack talent but because they have not been properly trained in how to represent themselves, build a customer base and actually sell their great artwork.”


I know this is very true in my case. Selling my art—my writing—is not something I do well.


There are two versions of the book, one for beginners, like me, and one for those who are experienced but would like to do better. Part of what makes the guide so helpful is that Chris includes interviews from other artist who are making money so you can see the principles he talks about at work.


The other important thing is that he has follow up emails with the Guide to Art and Money as well as with the classes and other books he offers. He seems more interested in making helpful

material available than in making a sale. That impresses me.

His three ebooks I recommend are:

Art + Money, Get Your Message to the World and Breaking Out of the Nine to Five.

He will soon release his first book on Amazon. The Art of Non-Conformity: Set Your Own Rules, Live the Life You Want, and Change the World by Chris Guillebeau
