Get Help Pricing Your Art with ChatGPT

A formula for artists who’d rather be making than second-guessing

I stopped selling my art over a year ago—not because I couldn’t, or because it wasn’t worth anything, but because my heart wasn’t in it. The creative part was still fulfilling. But the business side was killing my will to live: The awkward pricing conversations, the slow erosion of value every time I second-guessed a number, the mental math of trying to balance fair compensation against what someone might actually pay—it just wore me down.

So I let it go.

Instead, I made things for myself, stacked them in quiet piles, and xxperimented without wondering when a would-be collector might tell me they, “Don’t get it.”

No regrets, but if I were to start selling again (and lately that idea’s been resurfacing) I’d need to approach it differently. The world has changed, the cost of materials is higher, shipping is brutal, and who knows when I’ll even get my orders anymore.

If I’m going to re-enter the market, I want clarity; no more gut checks or wishful thinking. I want a system that reflects my labor, my expenses, and the context I’m working in. Something I can use again and again, no matter what I’m making.

That’s where this prompt comes in. Now more mucking around trying to figure out how much that new canvas you poured love into will cost you. Now the robots will help you get past the hems and haws of adding value to your work where you might lack confidence to do on your own.
