**Shownotes:**

Yes yes, there is a HUGE amount of joy to be had in the creative side of illustration.

But when your work is both a joy to make, and sells well, too? That's a whole new level of good stuff.

In this episode, we talk all about selling your work! All 3 of us have run online shops at some point in our illustration careers, and we dig into the things that worked for us to get our work seen and, most importantly, sold. 

We're not shy about talking about pricing and the perils (+ good bits) of managing an online shop and in this episode you can expect 

🚢 Social media marketing for illustrators running a product-based business
🚢 Building an email newsletter audience
🚢 Selling your illustrations & illustrated products at fairs
🚢 Running an online shop & more 🤩

See you in there!
