Do you work as an artist? If you’ve been in the art game for any length of time, you know that earning an income in this industry is far from certain. You might have very little control over when or how often you can land client work, depending entirely on your clients and what projects they have available at any given time. Diversifying your income can help you gain some control over your earning potential so you can generate income more predictably. Here are some tips from We Are Jersey to help you branch out and make some extra money!
