Would it be beneficial to take business classes for artists who want to sell their own work? I'm thinking about taking classes

I'm just going to chime in that taking any kind of class is usually beneficial (unless it's on a subject you already know).
Even if it turns out to be something you might not need in the present it might give you an inspiration/insight for a webcomic/story/whatever in the future.

I used to go to art schools (like, with entrance exams and preliminary assignments and low rate of acceptance kind, not free-to-enroll ) since middle school up until Uni (I major in 3D art and animation so technically still art) and usually the people who will give you shit for wanting to profit from your work are in the free to enroll type of schools :x I ran into couple when I had extra curricular art at a free-to-roll class and it can be super annoying. They'll say shit like "I just have this longing to create!!! I don't care about the money!!" and then you're just there like well I mean I like to draw and shit but man I got medical bills yo. I mean obvi I would still draw even if there was no chance of gaining income that way but anyone who says they don't want to get paid for the hours of work they put in is a liar. Simple as that.

So enroll, read, whatever that makes you succeed in your goals
