Why Selling Art on Social Media Matters
In our previous episode, we discussed the challenges of organic social media reach and how to grow your audience without ads. I understand that many artists, just like you, often feel frustrated with algorithms and the seemingly elusive nature of organic reach.
However, I want to emphasize that selling art on social media is not only possible but crucial for your business.
Customers prefer to purchase from you organically because it allows them to learn who you are, fall in love with your work, and build trust in you.
Customers don't want to buy from an ad or a curated brand.
So, the first step is to stop striving for perfection and start posting your art online, exactly as it is, and make it available for sale.
The Solution to Your Social Media Frustrations
If you've been struggling with social media results or maintaining a consistent posting schedule, keep listening because I have the solution you've been searching for to rapidly grow your online art business.
Before we dive into the three ways to sell your art on social media more effectively, here are a few things you don't need to get started:
A massive art inventory – Just one piece of art will do.
A large social media following – Quality beats quantity.
A website – You can start selling on social media.
A defined art style – Focus on showcasing your unique creativity.
Let's Get Started: Three Ways to Sell Art on Social Media
1. Don't Sell to Your Customer, Serve Your Customer: The foundation of your sales approach should be about building connections and relationships. Start by helping, answering questions, and solving problems for your audience. When you serve your purpose and genuinely assist your customers, your sales will align with your values, and the results will follow.
2. Make Frequent Offers and Use a Call to Action: Don't be shy about asking for the sale. Use clear calls to action, like "Buy now" or "Shop link in bio," to guide your customers toward making a purchase. Evaluate how often you're making offers on social media and ensure consistency.
3. Post Daily on Social Media: Consistency is key to pleasing both your audience and the algorithm. Daily posting helps build relationships and keeps you top of mind with your customers. When your audience engages with your content, the algorithm will favor your posts, expanding your reach.
Bonus Tip: Follow a Proven Content Plan
If your current approach isn't yielding results, it's time for a change. You might wonder how you can keep up with daily posting and continually create new content. Don't worry; there's a solution.
