What do you do about health insurance? What creative solutions has anyone come up with for making sure that doesn't make achieving your dream too daunting.

I was wondering how computer savvy I need to be to take this course. Happy to learn, but don't want to sign up for something I'm not able to finish. I've done that before. Let me know T
Traci.

@Debbie..the DREAM BIG digital guide e-books are PDF files. All you have to do is open them. As for the online community it's hosted on my NING website. It's very easy to navigate. Once you login, you access the online community in a private forum to read all the content. ~Traci

Other than one's own artistic style and/or genre, what are some things financially successful artists have done that have really set them apart from the others?
Posted by: Karen Pruzansky | October 12, 2011 at 11:03 AM
I would like to discuss about how you decide what your core business will be if you have lots and lots of creative ideas, how do you choose what is best to begin your creative business with?
Posted by: Sharon Van Beek-Koopmans | October 12, 2011 at 11:09 AM
Is it important to focus on one specific area of art? Seems I have far too many interests.
Posted by: Bette | October 12, 2011 at 01:08 PM
I took one prt of this class at creative escape (I believe there were 2 classes) . I loved it and I am ready for more! The topic I would like to see addressed is tips for holding yourself accountable to get things done. I struggle with this. Thanks looking forward to this.
Posted by: Nicky | October 12, 2011 at 01:53 PM
I'd love to know more about collaborating with other artists and time management. Being effective with my time is a MUST!

How did you start your creative business and what event(s) launched it to where it is today?
Posted by: Teresa | October 12, 2011 at 09:27 PM
How do I find people that need my workshop? Where and how (besides internet) do I market myself?
Posted by: jeanet annoff | October 13, 2011 at 01:32 AM
I would love to win this class because I am really wanting to start my own business but I have so many ideas and no clue where to start, winning this class would be amazing <3

Do you feel it's necessary for an artist to "brand" herself with one style of art to become successful? If not, how do you think an artist with varied interests should market herself without seeming scattered?
Posted by: Shellrosecreations.blogspot.com | October 13, 2011 at 07:59 AM
I'd love to hear more about working out a schedule and sticking to it. I have trouble with that!
Posted by: Dawn Sokol | October 13, 2011 at 02:36 PM
My topic question is: How do I get started with marketing? How can I find a new customer base?
Thanks for the opportunity to win ...
Posted by: Joan | October 13, 2011 at 02:38 PM
I would want to discuss how to keep up with the demand of the product. And how to create a base market for my art.
Posted by: jenlynnie | October 13, 2011 at 02:39 PM
Keeping to a schedule is my hardest lesson....So, I need help with keeping on task.
AWESOME giveaway!

the creative business topic i'd currently like to know more about is licensing. most specifically, securing licensing agreements with multiple companies or working with just one on various lines (coloring books, stamps, plush toys, etc) using the same concepts/designs.
Posted by: Valeri Blossom | October 13, 2011 at 02:47 PM
What a sensational course and so timely- I would love to discuss starting up, taking my hobby / obsession to a business is so daunting for me and i am so wracked with doubt, how do i do that?
Posted by: Louise | October 13, 2011 at 02:48 PM
One topic I would like to be discussed is how to effectively combine different creative ventures into one "branding", or something like that, other than just the name and an llc attached with it.
Posted by: Tinachicky | October 13, 2011 at 02:55 PM
how do you concentrate on just one idea and launching it? i always have soooo many ideas and can't decide which one i should go with. once you decide, if it's not doing as well as hoped, how do you decide to move on to something else?
Posted by: Groovyholly | October 13, 2011 at 04:01 PM
what creative business topic or question would I like to discuss? How to not let the turkeys get me down. How to pace myself so that I can work with my mood changes and not get behind if I need a "day off."
Posted by: Tracey | October 13, 2011 at 04:17 PM
i've mentioned this before - i'd like to see someone do an online class on "how to do an online class"!

I would love to discuss in
How to keep motivate ourself even the art/craft biz. not-so-so situation.
Posted by: Lay Hoon | October 14, 2011 at 02:55 AM
I need to find the "right" market for my funky journals, also need to find my "style". That's probably too much to ask, but hey! You asked! Thanks for the opportunity to win.
