Overview
Curriculum

Build Your Illustration Business: Business Ready™ is Course 3 in a 6-course digital illustration pathway, designed to help you turn your creative skills into a practical, professional business foundation. In Module 1, Products, Services & Commissions, you will choose illustration offers that fit your skills and goals, define commission types, and set clear scope, deliverables, and boundaries. Module 2, Pricing, Time & Revisions, shows you how to calculate sustainable rates using your time, costs, and the value of your work, while building pricing structures that account for revision limits and rush fees.

In Module 3, Client Briefs, Agreements & Policies, you will learn to write clear client briefs, establish timelines and deliverables, and create essential agreements, deposits, and working policies. Module 4, Copyright, Licensing & Business Considerations, covers ownership, usage rights, licensing choices, and core business responsibilities for illustrators. Finally, Module 5, Business Ready™ Plan, is a hands-on build module where you create your real starter business plan—complete with your offers, commission menu, prices, policies, and licensing terms—to add to your portfolio. This course focuses exclusively on business fundamentals; branding, website building, and marketing are explored in later courses.
