Have you ever wondered how Art gets chosen for TV + film?

As an Artist whose work is featured in the 2nd highest grossing feature film of all time, The Avengers Endgame, I'm going to break it all down for you in this episode.

It's not just because I live in Los Angeles that my Art has found its way onto countless walls in both film and tv over the years (although it does help!)

There are a variety of ways you can get your Art seen in the entertainment industry.

I'm sharing the scoop from what you can expect to be paid, to the rights you want to be aware of, all to help you decide whether you actually want your Art featured in film and tv.

Does posting to Social Media feel like a waste of time?

Like it's getting harder and harder to be seen, let alone know if you're reaching your Ideal Collectors?

There may be an important step you're missing, and an opportunity you haven't even considered, especially if you're just starting your business as an Emerging Artist.

However, I've found that a lot of well-established Artists are also missing this incredible opportunity to get their work seen by the right people.

In today's episode, my guest, Facebook + Instagram Ads Agency Owner and Marketing Coach Zach Spuckler is back on the podcast to

• talk about the changes in internet marketing and how they affect the organic reach of your business
• how to efficiently grow an online business especially if you're starting today and
• how to be open to + exploring new possibilities with your marketing can rapidly increase your chance of getting your work in front of YOUR people just waiting to connect with you

So that you can build a profitable business with more time to do what you do best, Make your Art.

Zach and I are hosting a FB Ads for Artists workshop this Friday, September 9 if you want to learn a step-by-step strategy for reaching your Ideal Collectors with Facebook + Instagram Ads.

You can get all the details and register to join us right away.

Since this is an implementation workshop with more hand-holding and personal marketing guidance, registration is limited to 50 spots.

When you think of a Thriving Artist, what qualities do you think they embody?

In today's episode, I'm joined by 3 Artists, Marie Delage Carlson, Heather Harrington, and Yvonne Sellick.

Alumni from our first sessions of Artful Selling joined me to share with me not only the qualities that they believe separate the Struggling from the Thriving Artist but also what has made the difference for them as they continue to gain more momentum and Art sales in their Creative businesses!

• from leaving graphic design to becoming a full-time Artist,
• to getting comfortable with selling once and for all
• how selling is easy once you get clear on 1 thing in particular
• to booking more commissions for happy customers all in a row
• to growing in confidence

And more. As is often the case with my conversation with fellow Artists, we touch upon a lot of details involved with this courageous Artist journey we're all on together.

The Doors to Artful Selling are OPEN! but only until Tuesday, August 30, @ 11:59 pm PDT

How does feeling more calm with less overwhelm sound when it comes to growing your Art business?

Yes? tune in!

Today's episode is another special edition of Creative Business Coaching over Coffee where I go LIVE on Instagram and share business guidance.

On this call, we covered such a variety of topics I decided to split this one into two parts, with this being PART 1.

Inspired by a recent comment our Expansive Artist member Linda shared with me, today I want to talk to you more about what it means to apply the Slow Build to growing your business as an Artist.

I also share some tips on how to start planning your Holiday launch product offerings.

Hello Creative Friend, I've got you!

While I don't regret it, I do look back and recognize the sometimes subtle, singular decisions I could've made that would've been a game changer in growing my Art business.

In today's episode, I'm sharing with you the 1 thing - if I could only pick 1 - that I'd do differently.

There's no need to repeat the Artist struggles and yet I see Creatives ignore this recommendation again and again.

So this is it! my invitation to act on this 1 simple suggestion that has the potential to radically change the success you'll see in your Art business from this point forward.

And here are more ways I can help you, starting TODAY 💖

No one wants it to take an overnight hospital stay to be the wake-up call for you to learn an important lesson.

But so be it.

This is my personal story that doesn’t veer far from my professional life. For too long I let fear and anxiety influence the way I chose to grow my Creative Business, and this is where it’s time to make a new choice.

The person who went into the hospital is not the same person who came out, and how I was running it will no longer be the way I will be running it going forward.

In today’s episode, I share with you how this health challenge inspired me to dive into my fear versus resisting it, and what has happened since.

Join the Artful Selling Waitlist here to be the first to know when we open the doors again, on August 26th

Are you in it for the long game or the quick sale?

Or? are you wanting to offer an affordable option to your loyal Collectors?

Maybe you're prolific and running out of room to create new work?

Perhaps, you're getting ready for a studio move?

What if you want to celebrate an important anniversary with your Collectors!

All reasons that you might consider having a special sale around your original work and yet do you really want to discount your original work?

Important questions to answer and in today's Creative Business Coaching over Coffee, I'm joined by Southern California Artist Kat to talk through all of these options when she asked whether to discount her work or not after her gallery exhibition?

I also opened today's episode with some thoughts and how to navigate the following your dream path during such uncertain times.

Stunned that we're still having this conversation and throwing cautionary tales out to people who may just be getting up the courage to pursue their passion as a business, I open this episode with a response to a conversation I heard with 2 well-respected Women leaders, just moments before I went LIVE for Creative Business Coaching over Coffee last week

And then one of our founding Expansive Artists members, Quilting Artist + Teacher Laura came on to get coaching help with her recent “failures”.

She bravely, and vulnerably shared what happened in her recent launch, and together we came up with a solution for her next steps. Spoiler alert: no failing actually happened….😝

Turns out that when asked if social media feels both frustrating, and confusing as to who's actually following you? that answer was a resounding 100% on a recent poll I posted.

Which means, we've got some work to do!

Precisely why I'm back with another edition of Creative Business Coaching over Coffee where I get to have a conversation with EA member and Artist Jeanette Bergstrom answering her Social Media questions.

And I open this call by answering this question from Katherine about how to reach more followers, by sharing a whole lot of Social Media tips including:

1. What content performs best on Instagram right now
2. Reasons why you may not get seen on Social Media
3. How to grow organically on Social Media

Oh and! which platform do you choose?

Do you choose just 1 or more?

How do you know which one is the right one?

Before you set sail in the wide-open ocean of social media, and possibly waste a whole bunch of time posting aimlessly to ALL the platforms at the same time, you're going to want to answer some important questions about your business vision + goals.

In today's podcast episode I walk you through suggestions for you to know what will work best for your working style, along with the details of how and why I prioritize what platforms I'm currently focused on, and the best strategy for showing up consistently both digitally and in your art-making process.

Happening TODAY! Join me for LIVE Creative Business Coaching over Coffee ☕️ at 10 am PDT this morning over on Instagram @creativethursday.

I'll be hosting another session next Thursday, June 30 as well, same time, same place.
