Build a licensing income stream in a few focused hours a week.
You do not need to make art licensing your full-time job for it to be worth doing.
License Your Art gives you the system, tools, and support to build your portfolio, find the right companies, consistently pitch your work, and understand the deal when someone says yes.
Build the portfolio. Find the companies. Send the pitch. Follow up. Understand the deal.
Real opportunities.
A practice that fits your life. ♡
Art licensing is a side hustle on purpose.
I have never believed that art licensing has to replace your entire income to be successful.
For most artists, it makes more sense as one layer in a creative income life — alongside a day job, products, freelance work, teaching, commissions, or whatever else you already do.
Licensing income can be uneven. Some deals are small. Some relationships grow. Some artists build meaningful part-time income, while others use licensing as one smaller stream alongside the rest of their creative work.
It does not have to become your whole income to become worthwhile income.
PART-TIME HOURS · REAL OPPORTUNITIES · REALISTIC EXPECTATIONSMy first licensing check was only $20.
I almost didn’t reply to the email. A magnet company had found my art on Etsy and wanted to put it on one of their products. That tiny first check showed me something important: my artwork could earn money without me personally manufacturing and shipping every product it appeared on.
That $20 eventually grew into more than $500,000 in licensing revenue, long-term partnerships, and artwork on products sold around the world.
You do not have to start big. You just need to know how to start.
Your portfolio cannot get licensed sitting on your computer.
Beautiful art isn’t enough. A polished portfolio isn’t enough. Knowing how licensing works isn’t enough.
And then another one. And follow up. And keep going even when nobody replies this week.
AND NO — THIS DOESN’T NEED TO BECOME ANOTHER FULL-TIME JOB
You do not need to pitch eight hours a day. You need a simple rhythm you can keep in the few focused hours you actually have.
Maybe you send five pitches this week.
Maybe life gets crazy and you send one.
Either way, your portfolio has more opportunities than it did sitting on your computer.
The goal is not maximum hustle. The goal is consistent movement.
A few focused hours. A repeatable pitching habit. A licensing practice that fits your life.
START YOUR LICENSING PRACTICE →The shortest path I know to getting your art in front of companies.
You do not need to know everything about licensing before you begin. You need to know what to do first, what to do next, and how to keep moving.
Build the portfolio.
Know exactly what an art director needs to see and what you can leave out.
I’ll help you organize your art so it feels clear, cohesive, and easy to pitch.
Stop guessing what to showFind the companies.
Stop spending your evenings randomly Googling companies.
You’ll start with my directory of 400+ companies that license art and learn how to spot the right fit.
Skip months of researchPitch + follow up.
Know who to contact, what to send, what to say, and when to follow up.
And yes — I’m giving you the email templates I use to make that part easier.
Know exactly what to sayUnderstand the deal.
Learn what royalties, flat fees, usage, exclusivity, and contract terms actually mean.
So when someone says yes, you understand what you’re agreeing to.
Feel ready for the yesThis does not need to become complicated.
Build it. Find them. Pitch it. Understand the deal.
START LICENSING YOUR ARTThis process has helped artists move from learning about licensing to actually getting licensed.
Different artists. Different timelines. The common thread is that they started putting their work in front of companies.
Ashley licensed with her top-choice fabric company.
She went on to work toward multiple fabric collections after going through Leverage.
Debby received her first fabric licensing contract.
It arrived about a year after taking Leverage, alongside growth in other parts of her art business.
Another alum said the licensing training gave her the tools she needed to move forward.
The portfolio, pitching, and licensing resources helped make a previously confusing process actionable.
You still have to send the pitches. But you do not have to figure out the process alone.
Here’s exactly what you’ll learn.
I want you to understand the whole licensing process — from wondering “Where do I even start?” to knowing how to build the portfolio, find companies, send the pitch, follow up, and understand the opportunity when somebody says yes.
Understand Art Licensing
Learn how licensing actually works,
how artists can get paid,
what companies are looking for,
and the basic language you’ll encounter
in a licensing opportunity.
We’ll talk about things like
royalties,
flat fees,
usage,
exclusivity,
and what it means to license your artwork
instead of selling the copyright outright.
Build a Portfolio That’s Ready to Pitch
Learn what an art director needs to see
when they open your portfolio.
We’ll walk through
what to include,
how to organize your work,
how much art you actually need,
and how to present it clearly
using the portfolio templates
included with the course.
Find the Right Companies
Stop pitching everybody
and start finding companies
that actually make sense for your art.
Learn how to research brands,
identify good-fit licensing partners,
find contacts,
and build a targeted list
you can work through consistently.
Pitch Your Art
Learn
who to contact,
what to send,
and what to say.
I’ll show you how I think about pitching
and how to use the included email templates
to make sending your work
something you can repeat
in a few focused hours each week.
Follow Up Without Feeling Awkward
Silence does not always mean no.
Learn
when to follow up,
what to say,
and how to keep track of your pitches,
so you can stay consistent
without turning licensing
into another full-time job.
Understand the Deal
When a company is interested,
I don’t want you staring at the email thinking,
“Now what?”
Learn how to understand
the basic terms of a licensing opportunity,
including
royalties,
flat fees,
usage,
exclusivity,
and contracts,
so you have a clearer idea
of what you’re agreeing to.
And I’m not going to teach you all of this and then make you build every tool from scratch.

Finish your portfolio and we’ll review it.
Learning how to build a licensing portfolio is one thing. But I know the question that comes next: “Okay… but is mine actually ready to send?”
Complete the training and submit your portfolio by January 15, and one of my licensing coaches will send you a personal recorded portfolio review in February.
We’ll show you what’s working, what we’d tighten, and what we’d improve before you start putting your work in front of companies.
