Episode 32 Show Transcript - Empowered Artist Podcast
Welcome back to the Empowered Artist Podcast.
If you're an artist who sometimes feels a little shy or tends to overthink things, this episode is tailor-made for you.
Today, I'm excited to share 6 valuable tips that will help you not only be authentic on social media but also have a blast while doing it.
Let's dive in!
Tip 1: Show Up as You Are
One of the most important aspects of successful social media presence is authenticity. Gone are the days when people wanted to see only polished perfection…
Nowadays, your audience craves the journey, the work in progress, and the behind-the-scenes moments. Just like how you'd enjoy watching a home renovation show from start to finish, your customers want to witness your creative process unfold.
So, don't hold back; show them your real self, both in your art and your life. You're more interesting than you think!
Tip 2: Embrace Your Uniqueness
Social media provides the perfect platform to be yourself. Let your authenticity shine through. Don't be afraid to show your messy bun, paint spills, or even your quirkiest side.
The more genuine you are, the easier it becomes to attract the right people who resonate with your uniqueness and repel those who aren't a good fit.
Tip 3: Speak to Your Ideal Client Like a Best Friend
When creating content for social media, think of it as if you're talking to your best friend who's come over to your studio for a visit. Your ideal client is likely someone who shares similarities with you.
So, include your audience in your daily activities and engage them in conversations as if they were your closest friend.
Tip 4: Don't Overthink It
The better you become at being your authentic self online, the more your artwork's message will shine through effortlessly.
Your art doesn't have to be perfect; it can be a work in progress. Don't let overthinking or striving for perfection hold you back. Just post it!
Tip 5: Focus on Quality Connections
While the algorithm may encourage daily posting, it's important not to get discouraged by daily results and vanity metrics. Instead, focus on building quality connections and nurturing relationships with your audience.
Remember, you're on social media for soul karma, not just for the numbers.
Tip 6: Zoom Out for Bigger Picture
Results Rather than obsessing over daily metrics, look at the bigger picture results over a 30-day period. This approach allows you to make smarter decisions and avoid getting bogged down by minor details. It's all about staying focused on your long-term goals.
