Creative CEO | The Business Podcast For Artists

I love going to markets or exhibitions, but there are things to consider when deciding which event to go to, what to take with you and how to present your art. I hope you find this episode useful!Best wishes, Georgie x

Can camera shy artists still sell? Absolutely! Instead of comparing yourself to the extroverts and stopping yourself from doing that all important marketing, use your own personality to create content that you are confident doing.

This week I talk about SEO (search engine optimisation) for both social media and your website. It's not good enough to reply on viral content or shares from your audience, we can't control that! But we can control what we write and finding the right keywords and search terms your customers use is an excellent way of helping people find your work. If they can't find you, they can't buy!

I am starting a mini series all about marketing for artists, an idea that came from one of my listener's on the survey I posted.

As an artist, our phones are key to running our business, but they can also be the biggest distraction. I've found a way to keep myself focussed during the times I need to use my phone and a way to stop me from being distracted when I actually need to create. This app has been a game changer and no, it is not endorsed, I just genuinely love it.
