event owner recap
We know you’ve had a lot of information thrown at you, so here’s a permanent resource you can refer to on how things work.
- You can set your own hours, schedule, and ticket prices.
- There’s a 70/30 split from your ticket sales (in your favor). Since you control your event prices, you control the profits too.
- You can add original paintings/experiences to our Project Share Program for all hosts to access and earn a commission each time it’s used ($0.50 a ticket)!
- You keep 100% of your cash tips on top of your regular income.
- Our audience is primarily females between 21-55. Remember to advertise your work to them as a captive audience, whether you’re teaching your own art or something from the Project Library.
- You can also choose to keep your work for your use only.
- Alternatively, you can use other people’s projects and pay $0.50 a ticket (up to $15 a class).
- You’re welcome to use existing venues in the Venue Marketplace instead of sourcing your own. Just remember, forging relationships remains equally as important.
- It’s your business, but your events will go on our site to help you reach new clients and sell tickets.
- The YAYMAKER check-in app does exactly what it says on the tin. It makes it easy to check in guests, spot returning customers and the number of people in a group so you can pre-plan seating arrangements. Download this before your first event.
