Today it’s just Ping and Sarah, but don’t worry because Dorien will be back soon. The topic of this podcast is growing your art business beyond being an Instagram artist. Find out the different types of Instagram artists, the pros and cons of posting your art on social media, how you should react to what people say about your art, and advice for growing your business in different ways.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- What is an Instagram artist? At first, it seems like it’s someone who only uses Instagram as a marketing tool, but when you think more about it, you can be an artist who only posts their artwork on social media.
- We all want to spend less time looking at screens, especially our phones. So it’s important to have a balance between using Instagram for work and just scrolling endlessly.
- Instagram is a great way to get over that fear of sharing your art. You don’t need to go to a show or anything like that, just a few clicks and other people can see what you’ve made.
- Not everyone’s opinion counts. Your opinion on your art matters most of all. Do it for yourself and not for the likes and comments. You have control of your art and not what other people think you should be doing.
- When you go out to art shows you get to know like-minded people who you can learn from and use that energy to grow and develop your art. Real life feedback from real people is always going to be more valuable than likes.
