Artist: stop being poor. How to sell art online

Artists, are you not tired of having an imago of a struggling person who, according to "society”, should look for a "real job”?

Sadly our collective memory is still obsessed with the romantic/rebellious idea of a broke artist isolated in his studio, creating groundbreaking work that will go completely unnoticed until after his death. Then the works will be discovered, he/she will be hailed as an art genius and selling for trillions of pennies.
Sounds nice but this conception of an artist is outdated, unrealistic and unsuccessful.
With today’s information technologies, artists can empower themselves and manage a growing economic and fulfilling atistic career.
