Creative CEO | The Business Podcast For Artists

In this final episode of my mini series, I talk everything social media. Content that actually gets you commission clients! Too many artists fall into the trap of attracing only artists to their social media because they put all the focus on the art and not connecting to a client. I go through my social media strategy, discussing I've gained thousands of followers from one reel and how I've made it easy to convert those people who love my content into someone who will pay me for a commissions. I hope you've loved this mini series, please let me know in the reviews section what you think! Georgie x MORE ART BUSINESS HELP!

This 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 x MORE ART BUSINESS HELP!

In 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!

On 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.

In this episode I discuss how you can make a change to your art business without drastically losing your audience along the way. 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.

This is an episode of two halves, all about mindset. To begin with, I talk about overwhelm and the power you have to let something go temporarily or permanently when your plate feels too full. The second half is all about art being a viable career and mindsets you may need to adopt to mentally keep going when things are quiet, changing perceptions from family and friends as well as a mindset shift about viral reels!

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!

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.
