In this episode I talk all about the pressures of running an art business, whether that's keeping up with your competition, the pressure to post on social media or joining in with Black Friday sales. I also talk about why it's good to sometimes put the pressure on and when it's important to take it off. This comes from my experience in November where it all got too much and I had to press pause on marketing my art business (whilst ...

Are you stuck for content ideas? This episode is all about what to post on your socials when you can't share what you're currently working on, or even if you just have a creative block. The idea is to use footage you may already have on your camera roll, so you can easily batch create.

The accompaniment to this podcast is my new Camera Roll Content guide, which you can grab now for £6: https://georgieturnerartist.co.uk/collectio...

I'm so excited to talk all about fine art prints and the journey I have taken over the last four years, from incredible FLOPS and incredible triumphs which led me to put all of my experience into a downloadable print guide.

In this episode I talk about my first set of prints that did okay, the second set of prints that flopped so spectacularly that they ended up in the bin and subsequent print drops with mixed results. I discuss...

Off the back of my first curated art fair, I wanted to talk openly and honestly about my experience. I talk about the difference between art fairs and trade fairs, the price of original pieces and a new lesson I learnt in selling prints in person. Maybe it was too honest.. but I'm here to be authentic and transparent about the realities of building an art business!

I hit rock bottom and realised that what led me to this point wasn't just my toddler going through the terrible 2's, but putting pressure on myself to post every single day. After some self reflection I've re-considered what consistency can look like for me in my current life at home and work. In this episode I share some ideas on how you can make small consistent incremental changes to your day to have a compound effect over time.

It's been 6 months since I've been completely self employed (and 5 years since I started my art business). After a week of socialising with new and old friends for my sister's wedding, one key phrase kept coming out of my mouth - I'm so happy. I wanted to reflect on this and bring you an honest episode all about being self employed, both the great parts and the challenges. Please subscribe to my podcast and leave me a review - I'd ...
