The Smartest Trade You’ll Ever Make
Trade your human-created assets, goods, or services for our Creative Business in a Box and you’ll get access to all the assets and training you need to:
- Create a sustainable income
- Multiply the value of your trade
- Leave a lasting legacy
And best of all? It doesn’t require constant work to get it started or keep it going. Keep it for yourself…OR trade it to someone else.
Why Am I Doing This?
This trade becomes part of my Trading Up! Documentary—where I’m proving creativity is viable currency by trading art for everything I need to build my Creative Arts Retreat and Rehabilitation Center in Greater Des Moines, Iowa. Your trade and your story will be featured as proof of concept.
The documentary serves to market both the Creative Arts Center AND your new Creative Business in a Box. The more viewers it reaches, the more exposure your brand gains. It’s part of your trade package.
Your level of involvement in the documentary is up to you, but being part of it is not optional. We do require, at minimum: your name, an image of what was traded, your creative business name, and the website (we’ll create that together).
Is This for Real?
Yes. If it sounds too good to be true, let me explain how it’s possible…
The Market for Print-on-Demand Products Is BOOMING
The current market is valued at $10-$12 billion with growth estimated by 2034 to over $100 billion. People LOVE customizing their products – and the Creative Business in a Box allows you to step into that market without the potential liabilities of using AI generated art or the hidden hassles of going through places like Fiverr to buy art and then trying to figure it out yourself.
You Get Step-By-Step Guidance, Not Just the Art
Knowing the strategies and the outlets to use to leverage your art to its maximum benefit isn’t something the average artist can help you do. But it is something an award-winning Creative Strategist can help you do. That’s why I include the Creative Strategy Coaching as part of your package.
The Creative Business in a Box Includes:
- A custom designed work of art that is unique to you, created with your colors and preferences in mind
You aren’t buying art. You’re buying an instant product line. It will be unique to you. No one else out there can offer it. You can sell prints of the artwork on a variety of mediums plus tap into the lucrative print-on-demand industry.
- Six coordinated designs that go with your artwork.
Extend your product line and expand into new market potentials with these coordinated designs. Multiply your earnings by tapping into the $134.22 billion dollar interior design market AND the $2.25 trillion dollar global apparel market, giving you a variety of ways to market, promote, and sell your assets.
- Videos showing me creating the art and the designs
Build trust with buyers, prove the art is human-made, and gain valuable marketing content that you can leverage to promote your products and services. These can be used in court if there is ever a dispute to protect your rights to these works. Show them at craft and trade fairs to attract buyers to your booth and gain an edge over the competition.
- A certificate granting you full and exclusive commercial rights to the art and designs as well as assistance in filing for copyright protection for them.
This gives you a significant advantage over anyone using AI generated art, allowing you to legally protect your assets throughout your lifetime and beyond.
- A complete, custom branding package for use in establishing the credibility and viability of your creative business with consistency and clarity so people recognize what who you are and what you offer
You’ll get a trademark-ready logo that is human generated so it can be protected, plus a style guide which provides clear guidelines on how to use that brand so you’re represented consistently everywhere that brand appears, letterhead, communication style guide so you know how to talk about your brand in any situation you might find yourself, support in filing for a trademark to protect your brand, and a branded rack card to use with a QR code on the back directing people to the purchase of your print-on-demand products to simplify the sales process
- A complete, customized marketing and promotion strategy package
Just building your shops and putting them online won’t ensure the sales come to you. We’ll work with you to build a full marketing and promotion strategy package that will ensure you’ve got evergreen content scheduled out and posted on the platforms that will be most likely to help you reach your best customers, ready to help you promote your work in every season, year in and year out
- A booklet of line art templates of your unique art and the custom designs created for it
This is the ultimate value multiplier, allowing you to create unlimited variations of the custom artwork and designs you’ve traded to receive so you can create almost endless product lines to sell to your customer base
- 12 months of Creative Strategy Coaching to help you make the most of everything you’ve received
Handing you art assets and art templates without the guidance required to know how to use them and make the most of them isn’t going to benefit either of us. It’ll frustrate you and potentially tarnish my reputation.
That’s why I’m including 12 months of Creative Strategy Coaching to be SURE you get all the help and support you need to make the absolute most of what you’ve received.
Why Must the Creative Assets I Trade Be Human Created?
Works that are generated by AI cannot be copyrighted. We won’t own them and anyone can take and use them. That means it won’t be a fair trade for what I’m offering – exclusive rights to use my work.
The Process
Once you decide that you are interested in accepting my trade offer, you will schedule your initial Creative Strategy Consulting call. This is essentially my intake interview for my Creative Strategy Coaching where I will figure out your likes, your interests, your desires, and your goals and help map out a strategy to get you there with your Creative Business in a Box.
After our call, I will send you a contract which puts in writing our trade agreement. I will begin work on your art and your designs. I will be recording the progress and will send you updates to get your feedback and let you know where we are in the process. Once the art is done and the designs are completed, we will arrange the hand off of the trade and a second coaching call.
During that second coaching call, we will begin work on your branding, setting up your social media presence, your shops, your domain name, and making decisions about your website and hosting.
You will receive the long-form videos of my work on your art and your designs, as well as shorts to use in promoting it, written copy, the rack card, and we will schedule a third coaching call to go over the progress you’ve made in working toward your goals as well as developing promotional strategies.
From that point forward, we will touch base once a month to ensure you’re staying on track to achieve everything you desired when you signed up for the trade and to help you trouble shoot and overcome any challenges that come up along the way.
Imagine Your Life One Year from Now…
You’ve got a functional print-on-demand store that brings you regular income and the clarity and confidence needed to run it. You own every asset and you can protect that in a court when challengers come your way. You’ve got branding and communication style guides that means when you’re not there to run it, you can hand it off to your kids or grandkids to run it for you.
Your marketing practically operates itself and you’re establishing a strong, recognizable, human-centered brand.
You’re no longer dependent on your health to be able to earn a living. You’re no longer trading your time for money. You know that even if the economy dips, you’ve got multiple streams of income ready to cover you. And you’re able to rest secure knowing that whoever inherits the legacy you’re building will have what they need to keep it going long after you’re there.
All because you traded what you had to get what I can offer.
How Soon Do You Want That Picture To Be Your New Reality?
That’s my only question for you. The sooner you agree to the trade offer I’m making, the sooner we can get started on building that life for you.
