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

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

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! Hope it is helpful, enjoy! Georgie x

Market research sounds boring to many creatives (including myself), but for collectors to find your artwork it is important to understand the customer journey, what words they might type into Google or how they browse at events. I created this quick solution to doing market research based on your own habits and after listening to this podcast you should go away with some easy ideas on how to research your own customers based on the little things we do ourselves. Hope you enjoy! Georgie x

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.

Hope you enjoy! Georgie x

Being a self employed artist is fantastic, but I had never even realised how lonely it would be. I talk through my experience and give you some ideas on how to combat the feeling of loneliness, whether you're considering becoming self employed or whether you're already there and don't want to feel alone in feeling like this. I hope you enjoy! Georgie x
