Is Social Media A Waste Of Time? 3 Keys To Success Despite Algorithm Changes For Artists
Episode 31 Show Transcript - Empowered Artist Podcast
Hey there, fellow artists! I'm Jenna Webb, your online art business coach and influencer, and I'm thrilled to have you here.
In today's episode, we're going to tackle a question that's been on many artists' minds: Is social media a waste of time?
If you've ever felt frustrated with the algorithm or seen a drop in engagement, this episode is for you.
I'm here to reveal 3 keys to success in navigating the ever-changing social media landscape…
Key #1: Show Up on Social Media as Yourself
One of the biggest misconceptions about social media is that it's a waste of time. Well, let me set the record straight—social media is more important for your art business than ever before.
The first key to success is to show up on social media exactly as you are. Be authentic and let your audience get to know the real you.
Organic social media is not just possible; it's essential for your art business. It's a unique platform that allows your customers to connect with you on a personal level.
They don't want to buy from a faceless brand or an ad; they want to buy from a real person—YOU. Your social media presence builds trust and fosters a connection, and that's crucial in the art world, where emotion and connection are everything.
Key #2: Social Media Is Your Easy Point Of Entry
Social media is an excellent starting point for selling your art. It's free, and it's not going anywhere. You don't need a fancy website, a logo, or any other unnecessary requirements. All you need is your artwork and the desire to sell it.
You also don't need a perfectly defined art style or years of experience. Having an audience to share your journey with is invaluable. Your audience will grow with you, and their feedback will help you evolve as an artist.
Don't wait for perfection; start sharing your art on social media today.
Key #3: Follow a Proven Content Plan
Social media is not a waste of time if you follow a proven content plan.
Consistency is key—post daily to work with the algorithm and build a loyal fan base. But remember, quality matters more than quantity. Don't post just for the sake of it; post content that captures your audience's attention in the first two seconds and encourages engagement.
There are strategic calls to action you can use to prompt your audience to engage with your posts. All of this is part of my larger framework called the "Sell Art on Social System." If you're not seeing results on social media yet, this system can help you 10x your progress and create a content plan that guides you.
