ONLINE ART SCAMS ARE REAL — HERE’S HOW ARTISTS CAN REASSURE BUYERS

This is not a new story. Artists have been ghosted for their payments, and businesses receive low-quality, stock site, or ai deliveries while commissioning real artists to do the work, and these scam stories have made buyers more than cautious, they have made them think twice.

The main problem is the fear of losing money. Business are created to make money, and companies hesitate in dealing with artists because they’ve either been taken advantage of, or have seen others burned in the process.

Quick, clear communication builds trust. Friendliness is key, but sincere and straight-forward communication is what will keep the business owner satisfied that you are the right choice. Businesses hire people that will work with them to achieve results. 

Not all business owners have your best interest in mind. They will try to get the most out of you for the minimal amount, and sometimes change the conditions of the contract because they feel that it doesn’t benefit them like it once did, or they never intended to follow through with their promise, and considering you are just a freelancer, they know you won’t go out of your way to rectify the injustice. It costs money and time. This is why you communicate and deliver your product through our secure systems. 

On the reverse side, sometimes creators are flaky and ignore deadlines and try to step outside the contract because they don’t realize the scope and gravity of what they are promising for the price they promised. The job becomes too daunting, and they lose interest, or want more money, or even disappear owing creative.
