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

Well, with the advent of the internet, you can certainly find the information on your own! I'm sure there are articles or youtube videos. But like learning anything freeform, it's going to take longer because the info isn't organized for you.

I personally just learn better in a classroom setting with interaction, and I like how I can meet other people with similar goals. You don't have to invest in university classes for it--find a cheap community college and learn there if it's in your means. Some places may offer workshops or certificates for it as well, which are just as useful.

As for getting people to follow your brand... don't use fanart. Generally speaking, the people following you for fanart aren't interested in your original work, and vice versa. They are two different markets. If you want people to follow you personally, make yourself the face of your work--start with local events, meet people, and give them a reason to associate you/your brand with your work. Easier said than done of course, but that's what's helped me.
