How to Make More Money with Your Art (Unapologetically) | Amie Mcnee (@InspiredToWrite)

The conversation around money and art is a tricky one. What do you do when folks aren't buying your work? How much should you really be charging? And why do so many people feel uncomfortable even talking about this?

Today, we have with us Amie McNee, the author of We Need Your Art and the voice behind the wildly popular community Inspired to Write, where she helps her global audience of creatives dismantle limiting narratives and start taking their work seriously.

In this episode, you’ll hear why Amie believes that charging for art is “ANTI-Capitalist,” the conspiracy around keeping artists “small and poor,” and why, as a creative, you might want to ignore traditional marketing advice and… f*ck the niche.
