Whether you are artistic or inventive, you are creative. To sell your creative products, you must become a creative entrepreneur. An entrepreneur is someone who is a business pioneer, introducing new ideas into the market; and going where no one else has, to forge out a new path and conquer new ground. Does this sound exciting to you? It is. It is like going on a great adventure; but it also takes tremendous courage, as you never know for sure what your adventure will entail and what reward you will get at the end. This course introduces you to the most important aspects and considerations for selling your creative work. It starts out by sharing the parable of "Jack and the Golden Egg," which outlines four essential ingredients and their key elements for laying a foundation of creative entrepreneurial success. From there, the course will cover how to decipher an idea's potential, growing your plan, selling your product, selling your rights, and making a plan to achieve your sales goals. Enroll today! This is a self-paced, online course. You have 6 months to finish. An instructor will monitor your progress and assess your body of work at course completion. UniversalClass™ offers many wonderful learning tools to help you get the most out of your online course, including an online portfolio service that manages all your course completions.

What do Mary Engelbreit, Neil Young, Martha Stewart, Bill Gates, Susan Boulet, Stephen King and Gary Trudreau have in common?  They are only a few of a million brilliant minds who have turned their creative ideas into wealth.  Before learning how to sell their ideas, they were ordinary people with extraordinary vision, just like you.  This course is a Godsend for artists, artisans, crafters, inventors, writers, and musicians wanting to prosper from their creative talents.  It consists of seven power-packed lessons that walk you through the steps necessary for selling your creative work to publishers, producers, buyers, manufacturers, companies, corporations, businesses and directly to customers.  The course will cover vital topics such as:  selling your rights, e-selling, retailing, mail-order selling; along with discussing such issues as:  copyrights, licensing, selling your rights to receive royalties, exhibiting at trade shows, various distribution channels, how to construct the type of sales campaign plans that have successfully ignited the careers of other once aspiring artisans!  This course was founded on sound and proven sales, promoting and marketing principles used by experts, who have launched big name careers.  And these are the same ones that have been used by published authors, famous musicians, exalted painters, crafting entrepreneurs and innovative moguls.  Dezra Lehr-Guthrie, the instructor for this course, is a diverse entrepreneur, published author, triple award recipient for innovation, college instructor, professional design artist, and holds over 12 copyrights for artistic and product designs. 


Whether you are artistic or inventive, you are creative. To sell your creative products, you must become a creative entrepreneur. An entrepreneur is someone who is a business pioneer, introducing new ideas into the market; and going where no one else has, to forge out a new path and conquer new ground. Does this sound exciting to you? It is. It is like going on a great adventure; but it also takes tremendous courage, as you never know for sure what your adventure will entail and what reward you will get at the end. You have pursued the creative path, because your dreams go beyond the mundane. You want more of your life to be aligned with what you enjoy doing. You hope for more than what your present life is handing you. You know that some of those who have walked this path have received their reward, and you believe it is possible you may receive yours, as well. And, you might just be right...

The message of this course is that it is indeed possible to make money from your creative work. Others have. Infact, Bill Gates, Stephen King, Martha Stewart are some of the richest people in this world, because of their creative talents; and they represent a mere handful of the approx. 700,000 creative moguls in this country! Our nation's wealthiest industries are creative-based: movie, film, music, software, home, crafts, and entertainment. Understanding these facts can help transcend any image of "the starving artist" and inspire you to plot out your own path to fame and fortune.
