This week, we follow on from last week’s discussion on Marketing without Social Media and ask ‘what if you could market without marketing?” Too often artists see marketing as an intimidating idea – something to be endured rather than enjoyed. In fact, many artists question whether it’s even necessary, wondering why they should be enslaved to this or that algorithm. 

But what if you didn’t have to look at it that way? What if marketing your art was so much easier and simpler than that?  Could you simply share what you love to share in a way that feels good for you? And could that be considered marketing? Join us as we dissect the idea of self-promotion and provide some inspiration and encouragement.

Special Offer for podcast listeners:

Time to Shine is a short course for artists to grow their confidence and show up online. However you choose to market your art you need to figure out some essential steps which will help you find a personal approach that works.

How are you doing with getting going again on your creative work? Maybe you didn’t take a break over the Christmas period, but at some point you will know the rusty feeling of facing a blank canvas or feeling like you’ve lost touch with what you wanted to do.

Today we’re discussing all the approaches – from a drastic slash and burn (!) to having a good old clear out. At some point you have to make that leap in to the work itself so we explore approaches to regaining contact with your work, mining your own history, energy boosters to be discovered in old sketchbooks – and generally managing the apprehension about beginning a new creative endeavour.

Have fun this week, if you share your new beginnings on Instagram, do tag us and mention this episode .
