As an artist or maker your primary function is to make things.  However the things you make and the things you do can often be used in ways other than just for their appreciation!  In this episode Peter and Laura talk about ways of making the most out of your output: greetings cards, teaching aids, books, videos, content for social media. Much of what you do day to day can be incorporated into teaching or marketing in ways that you might otherwise have had to create from scratch.  It may sound a bit too business-like, but Peter and Laura both see themselves as business people, so work smart and be efficient and successful!
