Jules, Rachel, and Stephanie discuss listener questions!  If you have a question you'd like us to discuss feel free to  email us at hello@artistssoar.com
Key talking points: 
How important are titles to your artwork?
It depends if it is about a story, or for commercial purposes.
It also depends if you are focused on SEO (search engine optimization).
It also helps with inventory

Why are artists so underpaid? 
"Exposure" 
Royalties range from 2- 8%, and if you have an agent they take 10-15%
1) Artists are doing it to themselves
we aren't negotiating or pricing their artwork to reflect their skill and experience level.
they aren't doing the research in the marketplace

2) there is not a natural selection to weed out the ones that aren't necessarily going to be a professional.
artists are given a stereotype that art doesn't have value,
Know the value.
