This weeks hot tip Tuesday John Paul Fischbach gives some much needed advice on investing in yourself, your arts business. Look out for the tip “invest in your business too”
Use the tools that make your marketing better and easier. Are you using the top 5 on-line tools that are helping people market the arts more effectively? Do you have a Website? Are you using an Email Service Provider? To you have a Sales Funnel to help create life long customers? Are you using Social Media Analytics Tools so you can measure your engagement on Social Media?
Networking is difficult for artists because some of us are a little bit introverted and we don’t really like that moving around and talking. We don’t even know what to say, so here’s a little tip. When someone comes up to you and says “What do you do?” The first thing that happens is this paralysis because we do too many things. As artists we’ve got a bunch of different things on the go so it’s difficult for us to pick one but that’s what you want to do. Pick only one thing.
You will do some things for you
You will do more for someone else
You will do it all if someone is holding you accountable
Get someone who believes in you and has your best interest at heart and ask them to be your accountability coach.
