Creative CEO | The Business Podcast For Artists
Launching a Product in Your Art Business
In this episode, I dive into the steps that I took to launch my first homeware products the same year that I was taking care of a newborn and working a part time job. With the benefit of hindsight, I discuss what worked and didn't work for me as well as my advice around keywords, SEO, marketing strategies and story telling.

'Sell me this pen' scene in Wolf of Wall Street - I definitely got my scenes mixed up and the scene in which the pen is sold with the right strategy involves too many swearwords to share for a non explicit podcast! But it is worth putting 'sell me this pen' into YouTube and checking out that scene in the diner.
