098 // Why Am I Not Getting Any Commissions?


Listen Later

If you are posting your artwork, improving your skills, and still not getting commission enquiries, this episode is for you.

One of the most common frustrations I hear from artists is:
"Why am I not getting any commissions?"

And the truth is, it is rarely about talent.

 

In this episode, I break down the real reasons artists struggle to get commissioned work and what you can do to change that. We talk about how to move away from guessing and hoping, and instead build a clear offer that solves a real problem for a specific audience.

Inside this episode, I cover:

·       Why finding a problem to solve is the foundation of getting commissions

·       How to refine your offering so people clearly understand what you do

·       The importance of finding a niche and standing out in a crowded market

·       How to market directly to your target audience instead of using a spray and pray approach

·       How customer service and communication impact whether people hire you

·       Why momentum matters and how to build it over time

 

If you feel like you are working hard but not seeing results, this episode will help you step back, reassess, and make practical changes that lead to more consistent enquiries.

You do not need to be everywhere.
You need to be visible in the right places to the right people.
