How To Learn New Technology + Grow Your Art Business
Episode 21 Show Transcript - Empowered Artist Podcast
If you hate technology, this episode is for you!
Today, I'm diving into a topic that might have given you a headache in the past: technology. Don’t worry, I've got five magic tricks up my sleeve that will make learning new tech tools a breeze.
Embrace Your Inner Tech Wizard
Let's face it, the digital landscape can be intimidating, especially if you're not the biggest fan of technology. But I've been there, and I'm here to share my journey from tech newbie to tech-savvy artist and entrepreneur.
When I started my art business, I didn’t want to be in front of a computer. I just wanted to be in the studio, painting away…
But as an artpreneur, tech became an essential tool in my arsenal. I learned to build websites, create webinars, master sales funnels, and even launch a podcast! And guess what? If I can do it, you most certainly can too.
The 5 Magic Tricks
Are you ready to unveil the secrets that will make technology your ally rather than your enemy? Here are my five magic tricks that will turn you into a tech wizard:
Trick #1: Everything Is Figureoutable
Rule number one in my tech playbook: everything is figureoutable. Remember those times when you conquered challenges and emerged victorious? You're no stranger to starting from scratch and transforming into an expert. Tap into that confidence and believe that you can crack any tech puzzle.
Trick #2: GTS (Google That Sh*t)
We're living in the information age, my friend. A world of knowledge is just a Google search away. Whenever you hit a tech roadblock, don't hesitate to GTS. Whether it's a YouTube tutorial or an AI assistant, you'll find the guidance you need to conquer any tech task.
Trick #3: Embrace the Help Center
Tech support isn't just a distant dream; it's right at your fingertips. Whenever you're facing a tech conundrum, head straight to the help center of the tool you're using. You'll discover a treasure trove of FAQs, tutorials, and articles crafted to guide beginners like us. Trust me, someone else has probably faced the same issue, and the help center is your lifeline.
Trick #4: Don't Get Stuck in Research Mode
Research can be a double-edged sword. While it's crucial to gather information, don't get lost in a vortex of endless browsing. If you're stuck after a brief search, reach out for support. Many tech tools offer chat support that can guide you to the right resources quickly. Your time is precious—don't let frustration steal it away.
Trick #5: Master Your Email Filters
Your email inbox can be a tricky terrain, too. When dealing with tech support or important emails, be sure to check not only your spam and junk folders but also the promotions and updates folders. Filters are more advanced now, and important messages might not land in your primary inbox. Train your email by interacting with the messages you want to receive and drag them to your primary folder.
Tech Confidence: Your New Superpower
Remember, you don't need to be a tech expert to thrive in the digital age. These five magic tricks are your key to conquering technology in your art business. With the right mindset and these tools in your toolkit, you'll be weaving your tech spells in no time.
Stay Empowered and Keep Creating
If you're still hesitant about diving into the tech realm, remember that I've been there, too. Embrace the challenges, learn from them, and know that you're not alone on this journey. As artists, we're constantly evolving, and that includes mastering technology.
