How I Built My Small Art Shop From Nothing | Everything I Did Step by Step

Hiii! Thank you for joining me for another video, I am so excited to be sharing a walkthrough or guide on how to start a small art business. I have been wanting to make this video for a long time and here it is! I hope this is a place you can reference in the future if you are thinking about starting your own art shop or business. I am going to link some of my favorite videos and resources, along with the notes for this video below, so check those out! And the video is (very thoroughly) timestamped below so feel free to skip around. Let me know if you have any questions about anything or if you want more information on anything I covered. And, good luck!! ** Disclaimer: All of this is just my experience that I am sharing and not professional or legal advice ** PERSONAL LINKS My Shop: www.neonshibastudio.com My IG: www.instagram.com/NeonShibaStudio PDF of VIDEO NOTES / STEP-BY-STEP https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tEqB...
