Why is promoting yourself important? That is the question Ping, Sarah, and Dorien will be discussing this week on Thriving Women Artists. Find out how to promote yourself, why you need to do it, and some top tips that will help you on your artistic journey.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- You can feel different levels of fear depending who you're promoting yourself to. Fear is actually a good thing, because it means you know it's important and care about what the person thinks.
- No matter how far you are in your artistic journey, you will have to promote yourself and will likely feel some kind of fear or anxiety about doing so.
- Promotion is important because if you want to make a career of art, people need to know who you are, what you do, and why you do it. If you aren't your own cheerleader, why should someone else be?
- Your social media is a form of promotion, as well as when you're networking too, that is also self promotion.
- Recognise that your fear is there and take steps to overcome it.
- Separate yourself from your artwork, you are not your art, it's a product and it's for sale. You have to be able to detach yourself from it.
- There's always a bigger stage you can move on to once you have faced the fear and conquered it.
