About

Marketing Your Art the Right Way will show you how to sell your art online without selling out.

My name is Kevin Chung and I will be bringing all my knowledge about design, marketing, and psychology to help grow your art business. I’ve been a graphic designer, web designer and web developer since 2008 . I’ve also had  a design blog since 2010. It’s been quite the journey for me and I hope to help you on your own journey too.

I am also the host of the Cracking Creativity Podcast. A show where I talk to people from all different walks of life about their creative projects and businesses. The podcast helps show you that there isn’t a one size fits all answer to life.

“Kevin is filled with gems of information! As a newcomer to the marketing and web design for my artwork, I reached out to him for tips on increasing my online traffic. His sound advice from website ideas to social media pointers were exactly what I needed to get on track.  Kevin has a “can do” motivational approach. This also prevails in his dynamic weekly emails and podcast interviews.” – Anna 

My goal is to teach you:

• How to make yourself stand out in the extremely crowded art marketplace
• How to ignore the oohs and aahs and find people who will buy your art
• How to make time for your art and streamline your work
• How to turn from a starving to successful artist

“I had been thinking of breaking out of my shell and wondering how one gets started in marketing their art. Kevin Chung’s free e-book, “How to be a Successful Artist” and the handy checklist, “Finding Your Audience Checklist Worksheet,” gave me the answers. They’re very informative and an eye-opener. I highly recommend them. I feel very grateful and blessed to have discovered his site.” – Melisa

If you are sick of people complimenting your art without buying it or trying every marketing tactic without any results, you are in the right place. I want to help you grow your audience, create strong lasting relationships with your customers, all while making money and having fun while doing it.

“I had a problem of organizing my website. I loved everything I had but didn’t know what was needed and what needed to go. Kevin helped me go through each section. I was so relieved and excited for the changes that I didn’t know could happen for my website. I love it now and its great and easy access for me and viewers alike.” – Love Art Wonders
