"Artists!  Stop settling for a hand-to-mouth existence.  Start making a 6-figure income doing what you love."

OK, here's a reality check.

Your success as an artist has nothing
to do with your artistic skills.

Are you offended by that statement?  I'm sorry, but it's true!  And I can’t over-emphasis it enough, either.  I’m not saying you don’t need artistic ability to be successful, but you can be a brilliant artist and still starve to death.  That's no fun!  The fact is that your financial success or failure hinges on one thing and one thing only - your ability to market yourself. 

Yes, I'm fully aware that the word "market" or "marketing" are poison words in some quarters.  Some artists view this as crass commercialism and feel that their work is diminished in some way if it has to hawked like refrigerators or bug spray.  Personally, I found it defeating, to say the least, to toil away at my craft only to find that no one wanted to buy what I created.  Where's the nobility in that?  In short, I'd rather be successful - wildly successful!  How about you?

How can I avoid failure and attain the success I dream about?

Hi!  My name is Jerry Schuster.  And over the next, few paragraphs, I hope to provide you with a glimpse of what can be.  I want to introduce you to concepts that are nothing short of life-altering.

When I decided I would like to start making a living as an artist, I concentrated on turning out the best work that I could.  I then tried to sell that artwork.  Talk about a rude awakening!  After busting my buns all over town and getting a ho-hum response everywhere I went, I returned home a whipped and defeated person.

I went back to the drawing board (literally) to refine my techniques.  If I were a better artist, it stands to reason that I would sell more.  Right?  Ha!  I had even worse luck.

It was then that I realized that if I didn't do something drastic - and soon - my dream of making a high-income living as an artist was going up in smoke.  That frustration sent me down a path of discovery that has been nothing short of miraculous.

What I discovered was that it is nearly impossible for the average (or above average and even outstanding) artist to obtain the success they desire relying on the normal channels of distribution.  Been there, done that.  It doesn't work!  Ok, so it does work on rare occasions; sort of like getting struck by lightning.  We see it happen to other people and wonder why it doesn't happen that way for us.  It happens, alright, but so rarely that the chances of you and I finding success through normal channels are two - slim and none.

Are you going to wait around hoping for lightning to strike?

Have you heard that old saying, "No one will look after your money like you will"?  That same concept holds true with your career as an artist.  A gallery acts in their own self interest.  Same with a broker or anyone else you entrust with your career.  They have no stake, whatsoever, in your success or failure.  Usually the only time these people can be of real use to you is when you've finally made it.  Now, when you really don't need them any more, they come calling and wanting in on the action.

It was with this realization that my search for the solution really began.  I knew that I must learn - had to learn - how to sell my work in a large enough quantity and at a high enough price that I couldn't possibly fail.  Does such a solution really exist?  Absolutely, positively, unequivocally, YES!  I wouldn't be writing this to you if it were not so.

Was the journey easy?  Nope!  I can't even begin to tell you how many blind alleys I ventured into.  I read a whole lot of information put out by so-called "experts" that lead to absolutely nowhere.  If this subject is of interest to you, you've no doubt read and tried the same things that I did - with the same dismal and disappointing results.

And the money I wasted!!  Holy cow, it makes me sick to think of the thousands - tens of thousands - of dollars that I just threw away.  And countless hours trying to make one plan after another work for me.  I figured that if I threw enough money against the wall, and put enough time in on it, something had to stick.  Didn't it?  Bull!  It was like beating my head against a brick wall.  Given enough time, maybe I'd break through, but in the meantime I was getting beat to a bloody pulp.

And so, the road to success began

Along the way, however, I began to assemble some really useful information - bits and pieces from here and there.  Slowly, painstakingly, I began to assemble the pieces of the puzzle.  What emerged was a system that was practically guaranteed to propel me to success.  Here and there a piece of the puzzle would fall into place.  And like most puzzles, the farther into solving it that I got, the faster it all came together.  Then there was this blinding moment when I realized that I had it.

I can't begin to tell you how good that feels.  To know that you've unlocked the secret of controlling your own destiny.  To know that no person can ever again dictate to you what you can and cannot do.  To know that there is, now, no limit on the height of success that you can attain.  It's absolutely glorious!

OK, so it works for me, but will it work for you?

Here's a disclaimer that I think is very important for you to hear.  This is not a get-rich-quick scheme.  If you want a super-easy, one step solution that takes little, if any work on your part, I suggest that you stop reading right now.  This is not for you.  If it were that easy, lot's of people would have thought of it and run it into the ground by now.

But the fact is that there are strategies you can apply that absolutely will work.  And they'll work for you at whatever level of skill that you're at.  Well OK, obviously, it makes this process easier if you have some real talent.  But the fact is that I've watched artists of fairly modest talent (students of mine) become quite successful.

In order to understand how this can be, I've created an introductory lesson for you in the form of an hour-long DVD video titled, "Why Artists Fail At Marketing . . .The First Step Toward Fixing It."

This also serves as the introduction to the Business Development For Artists course.  The fact is, that most artists simply have no idea why they aren't successful - at least financially, that is.  They have some kind of idea of how they think selling their art should work.  But mostly, they aren't even certain about that.

The message of this DVD is guaranteed to be a real eye-opener for you.  You'll see the total fallacy of following all the techniques that are espoused by the art community.  As the title indicates, the first step toward understanding how to succeed is to have a clear understanding of why the vast majority of artists never become successful.

Special Marketing Report Included
In addition to the DVD, you'll receive a bound report which, among other things, introduces you to the concept of "Guerrilla Marketing."  You'll read about the folly of attempting to emulate other artists.  You'll be introduced to the concept of abandoning a "product centric" approach and embracing a "consumer centric" strategy.  You'll also see why I can almost guarantee that the prices you charge are set too low.

All of this is information that you absolutely MUST have in order to succeed.  Oh, I'll acknowledge that some artists do actually succeed with the old methods.  But if you're honest with yourself, you'll admit that it's so rare that your odds of getting struck by lightning are considerably higher.

By the time you finish reading this report and have watched the video, you will understand, as never before, how you can have the successful, financially rewarding, art career that you've always dreamed of having.

And by the way, having a successful career doesn't always mean that it must be full-time, either.  Many of my students are retired, or semi-retired and all they want is a part-time career that gives them freedom - freedom to travel, to live where they want to, or simply to make their enjoyable hobby pay them well.  Whatever your definition of success is, that's what you can make it.

Whether you decide to make use of the knowledge you gain from this ridiculously low cost information, or to make the larger commitment of attending the class, your life will never be the same.  Now let's take a look at what the class is all about:

Business Development For Artists

What this course is, is a blueprint upon which you can build your empire.  It will take some work on your part.  But I'll give you every shortcut that I've found and every resource that works.  If you follow the plan through to its conclusion, I don't see how you can fail at it.  And the results can set you up for life.  That means a never-ending demand for your artwork.  It means never having to worry whether or not you'll be able to pay the bills.  Isn't that worth it?

I wish I would have had this information when I started my long journey to success.  It would have a saved me a whole lot of time, trouble, and money.  But that's life!  It's here now and I'm ready to share it with you.

Over the years, I've spent tens of thousands of dollars learning the lessons I'm sharing with you. I can't even begin to tell you how many blind alleys I ventured into. I read a whole lot of information put out by so-called "experts" that lead to absolutely nowhere. If this subject is of interest to you, you've no doubt read and tried the same things that I did - with the same dismal and disappointing results.

And the money I wasted!! Holy cow, it makes me sick to think of the thousands - tens of thousands - of dollars that I just threw away. And countless hours trying to make one plan after another work for me. I figured that if I threw enough money against the wall, and put enough time in on it, something had to stick. Didn't it? Bull! It was like beating my head against a brick wall. Given enough time, maybe I'd break through, but in the meantime I was getting beat to a bloody pulp.

Now, I want to share the secrets I've learned with you.  I turned my business around, BIG TIME.  And you can, too.  It's all about understanding who your buyers are and how to reach them.  But it's also about finding your own place in the scheme of things. 

Here's a special Bonus DVD

A new way of painting. Faster!  Better!
Greater detail!  Stunning accuracy! 

Before I got good at marketing, I had stumbled on to a knew way of painting that is almost miraculous with what it can do.  It's called TruPaint.

It took me 5 years to develop this way of speed-painting oil on canvas paintings.  But, I had found the secret of creating masterpieces that were stunning in their detail and accuracy.  And, for the first time in my life, I was creating artwork that was good enough to compete with the best artists in the world.  And on top of that, I was able to paint them 10 times faster than normal.  All of this gave me a tremendous advantage in the marketplace.  Suddenly, I was faced with the fact that I could earn a serious 6-figure income doing what I loved.

I had opened a flood gate and I sure wasn't about to share this hard won knowledge with other artists, either.  Why would I?  I was selling my art like crazy, getting fantastic fan mail from clients, making a bunch of money, and generally having the time of my life.  Well, eventually I relented and created this course to share my knowledge.  I hope you find it to be as exciting as I and my students have found it to be.

So what is TruPaint™? 

It's a hybrid system that begins life in your computer.  (Wait!!!!  Before you get all crazy about using a computer, please read the next 2 paragraphs.)  Then, it's migrated to canvas, where it's finished with real brushes and medium.  But it's about 10 times faster than traditional painting - AND MUCH MORE ACCURATE. 

The development of TruPaint™ has been nothing short of a miracle for me.  In a series of “aha” moments, I saw the possibilities that existed in the merging of modern digital technology with traditional painting techniques.  And, from early on, my goal was very focused. 

I wanted to use the power of the computer to create portraits and paintings on canvas in a fraction of the time that it normally took.  And, I wanted them to be so good, that they could literally be hung side-by-side with the finest traditionally painted artwork in the world, with no one being able to tell the difference.

Oh, come on!  Is this even possible?  There's a lot of digital artwork being created, today.  And very cheaply, too.  Some of it is OK, but most of it would never be considered to be great art.  It could hardly be compared with real paintings.

However, my paintings hang in exactly the circumstances that I describe. . .and in some very prestigious locations.  They are displayed right next to traditionally painted artwork.  And, not only can no one tell the difference, but I'm told that observers often want to know why my painting is so much better than the others.

Where are these paintings displayed?  They're in the offices many corporations, the military, foundations, municipalities, etc.  Of course, most of my paintings are for individuals, many of whom are very art savvy.  But here's a short list of several educational locations where they definitely hang side-by-side traditional paintings:

• Duke University
• Duke Children's Hospital
• Louisiana State University Law School
• University of the Philippines
• Boston University

These folks did not commission me to paint because I was inexpensive.  They chose me because of my eye for detail and a level of accuracy that is uncanny. And here's that all important feature: The finished paintings are so good that they can be compared to the finest artwork in the world.

Yes, but what about YOUR art?
Well, that's all fine and good, but what does this have to do with the art that you would be able to create?

My students tell me that they have shocked their friends and family with the level of their increased competence. People can hardly believe the beautifully crafted paintings they are now creating.

If I were able to create the magnificent paintings that I'm talking about, and not be able to show you, precisely how it's done, it would be criminal.  My goal is to rapidly get you to the point of creating your own world-class paintings.

By the way, in Lesson #1, you'll learn that the basic concept behind TruPaint™ is not exactly new. It started about 600 years ago and has been practiced by some of the most famous and highly regarded artists in the history of the world.

The TruPaint™ System is designed to give you the tools to significantly impact your art career.  If you're tired of toiling away with only modest success as an artist, this may be the answer to your prayers.  The goal is to get you up to a 6-figure income as rapidly as possible.  Or, perhaps even more importantly, for you to be able to control your life the way you want.

The first video of the The TruPaint™ Artist Training Course gives you a complete overview of the process so you can really see what this is all about.  It's almost an hour long and provides you with deep insight into The TruPaint™ System.  You'll be stunned to learn both the historical context of this method as well as the range and complexity of the beautiful paintings that can be created with it.
