29. Make Money From Your Art! Commission Mini Series Part 4
23:50||Season 2, Ep. 29This is a juicy one - how to deal with difficult clients and what boundaries to set yourself before you even take a deposit to avoid any difficult conversations. I have fortunately only had a very small handful of difficult clients to deal with, the majority are amazing, but when you get the odd client who isn't happy, it can really knock your confidence. I hope this episode empowers you to speak up for yourself and to know what boundaries to set in place to avoid any challenges. Georgie x28. Make Money From Your Art! Commission Mini Series Part 3

Commission Mini Series Part 2
28:15||Season 2, Ep. 27In this second part of my mini series, I talk all about PRICING. A topic that many artists find hard to discuss, but one of the most important things to talk about if you actually want to make real money from your talent. I dive into: working out your materials, postage costs, time and profit margins, when to increase your prices and give you several words of encouragement to not work for free!

14:41||Season 2, Ep. 24Market research sounds boring to many creatives (including myself), but for collectors to find your artwork it is important to understand the customer journey, what words they might type into Google or how they browse at events. I created this quick solution to doing market research based on your own habits and after listening to this podcast you should go away with some easy ideas on how to research your own customers based on the little things we do ourselves.

24:02||Season 2, Ep. 23On today's episode, I talk about my experience in hiring professional help for artists, getting training for platforms such as Instagram and where I outsource work to professional companies. My practical advice for finding the right help isn't just about 'can I afford this?' but whether your personality matches with the people you invest in, if their methods work for you first and what I would do to find the right people.

As a creative you are going to naturally want to change what you are doing from time to time, so here are some practical tips on how you can change your art style, make a slight pivot or completely stop one of your offers, for example if you wanted to stop doing commissions.
