The most important.

 

For me these are the most obvious things but many Artists find hard to do.

First, you must create good original Art.

I know this is obvious but you would be surprised how little work many Artists produce.

Second, you must become well known, name and face recognition.

If no one knows you how can they find you to buy your Art?

Third, you must learn how to sell and market your Art.

This is the hardest for most Artists to embrace and they look for any reason they can find not to do this.

Nothing else matters and if I had to add another it would be learn to manage people.

If you create wonderful work and you are working hard at becoming well known, then you will begin to sell your Art.

The most important one in my opinion is becoming well known, name and face recognition and this will require making videos.
