January 17, 2024Too Patreon or not to Patreon
We are back after winter break and kicking this year off with a discussion about Patreon for Artists and for our podcast. Do you have a Patreon? Tell us about your Patreon and what you are doing and we may give you a shoutout and share your info! We'd love to hear from you, email us at [email protected] or DM us on Instagram at @artistssoarpodcast
If you have a question you'd like us to discuss feel free to email us at [email protected]
Key Talking Points
- Stephanie was doing the research: how to fill the gap between being small and the large artists/podcasters to gain income?
The threshold of when to get a Patreon, again, falls to the numbers: you need a lot of fans/followers before it is worth the time and money to do a Patreon.
2-3% will convert from one platform to the next. So focus on the 1st platform before moving onto another.
The marketing of the Patreon and providing value on Patreon is the equivalent effort to other marketing avenues.
Until, add a donation button to your website, or add a donation button to your newsletter.

January 10, 2024Best of 2023 - Cat Coquilette as a Normad Watercolor Artist and Art Instructor
We are bringing you the best of and most listened to episode while we are vacationing during the holidays. We'll be back with you before you know it! Until then, enjoy this episode where we chat with Cat Coquillette about her journey from a graphic designer to a nomadic, licensed artist.
If you have a question you'd like us to discuss feel free to email us at [email protected]
Key Talking Points
- What was the #1 thing you wish you would've known?
- Not hold myself back due to limiting beliefs or imposter syndrome.
What was your background before you become a digital nomad?
- Cat graduated with a dual major and went to work at a local branding/graphic design agency.
Where was the shift to travel and create?
- Cat took baby steps to start her travels and slowly developed a network of other digital nomads.
What kind of safety concerns did you have or precautions did you take?
- It was a concern in the beginning, but the thoughts are always worse than what actually happens. Take the same precautions you'd take here in the States.
Google the place you are going along with the word "scams".
What are some tips to overcome your fears and imposter syndrome?
- Don't self-label yourself.
Take baby steps - like sharing what you are confident about or taking a small trip with a friend(s). As you do it more, you get more comfortable.
What were some of the baby steps you took to get picked up for licensing?
- Society6 is one of the industry leaders for Print on Demand. Identify the metrics for success, like money, and the brand power that Society6 has with the search engines.
By saturating Society6 with her work, she is easily found by brands.
What strategy would you recommend to artists now that Society6 is oversaturated?
- Try many and see what will work, then focus on the one that works for you.
Consider the audience that the Print On Demand site focuses on. Review the top-selling designs to see if your artwork.
What are some recommended Print on Demand locations you recommend?
