Artist's Marketing Basics Bundle

Everything you need set up + start growing an online art business

I made sales immediately.

"I was able to get much more specific about my branding and have an “elevator speech” for the first time. That is a big win for this introvert who hates small talk.

I made sales immediately after my website launched, even from buyers I had never met in person. That made it very clear that the online marketing strategies were working."

- Kim Whaley

You want to sell your art online, but you’re kinda in the dark about how it all works. The biggest problem is you don’t know where to start. There’s so much free advice out there. You keep finding yourself stranded, getting lost in all the information until you lose your momentum.

You don't know where to put in your effort in marketing. You’re busy! You have a life and art to make. There’s NO time for this nonsense.

Before you waste more of your precious life searching Pinterest for the answer, let me present an alternative.

THE ARTIST’S MARKETING BASICS BUNDLE

The Artist’s Marketing Basics Bundle will help you:
  • Make your efforts more focused - no more sitting down to 'get to work' then wondering what to do
  • Set up an easy, simple website you can sell through that will be complemented by your new, fully-functional email list
  • Start making the transition from casual to full-time art

The lessons are spaced out juust enough - you’ll receive four simple lessons to implement each month. You’ll still have time to live your life while what you once thought was a mountain of work disappears before your eyes. There's amazing power in accomplishing a little at a time, consistently - especially when someone else is guiding you along, whispering in your ear what to do next.

By the time you reach the end of the lessons, you’ll:
  • Have a huge boost in confidence
  • Be (finally) satisfied with your website
  • Feel ready to put yourself out there, get your art seen and start profiting from your hard work

It is an eye-opener!

"First of all, the guides have been a wake-up call, I am now beginning to see how much I need to learn! This has led to me to think of new approaches to begin branding and learning how to tell my story.

I liked how you broke everything down into steps and gave clear examples explaining the different stages and ideas or blueprints of how to get it done. I think many artists can use this sort of coaching, it is an eye-opener!"

- Cathy Kiffney

I started my list!

"I've actually started growing an email list instead of just focusing on Instagram. I would definitely recommend the lessons for newer artists."

- Kristin Ingram

I actually sent a newsletter

"I actually sent an email newsletter, after collecting addresses for years! You hit on all the essentials and give really good examples of how to get started."

- Cindy McDonough

Already gotten several commissions!

I took the advice from your lessons about my website and have done a huge overhaul. I'm so happy with the results. I've already gotten several commissions from it!

- Shelby

My website began to help me.

"Your guides totally changed the way I was thinking about my website and my online presence. Instead of taking the website as a presentation of my work, it slowly became a real helper in my art business. I'd definitely recommend them. Because they are the best I love the way of thinking that you teach in them."

Found my focus and my Instagram is streamlined!

"I was able to find my focus and set reasonable goals. That is always difficult for me to do. I also liked the layout of all the information. It was very detailed and easy to follow. Now my Instagram is more streamlined and I loved the information on how to price my work. "

- Jessica Davis

Still gaining followers

I decreased my salesy messages on Instagram and increased my personal posts. I'm still gaining followers! I recommend these lessons because most artists are not marketing experts."

- Lori Parish

Invaluable advice you'll love to use

Learning from Jessica is like having a coffee with a good friend who has tons of invaluable advice to give you, but it’s advice that you will love to use and implement!"

- Jessica Singerman

Getting more sign ups

"I am getting more sign ups for my e-news and I feel much more confident in my marketing. You speak the language of artists. You understand our reluctance to self market and you make it do-abel."

- Michelle Motuzas

Finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel

I'm all over the place going nowhere fast. I feel, through your lessons, that I am finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. Things are slowly starting to make sense. The internet is such a huge place and it's hard to know where to focus your attention and get the most bang for your buck.

So, thank you for putting so much of your time into making these lessons. Thank you for the encouragement and examples. I am going to keep up, read every word, and do every exercise you throw at me.

- Rebecca

I tell people what they want to know, authentically

"I would absolutely recommend these guides to other artists. They are well-organized and easy to understand. It's clear that you understand the specific challenges of the artist in presenting their art as the guides were immediately relevant to the issues I was trying to solve.

I've been more confident with my marketing because the guides helped me understand what people want to know so that I can provide that information authentically (instead of trying to slam my meaning into a sales script).

A month in between them was great. It takes time to digest the information and understand how it applies and then I still had to do the work after that."
