Summary
This week on the Artist Academy Podcast , I’m sharing the uncomfortable truth about marketing yourself as an artist—posting online, talking on camera, networking, pitching, and doing all the awkward things that actually lead to opportunities. If showing up feels uncomfortable, you’re not alone. A lot of artists struggle with putting themselves out there, promoting their work, or being the face of their business. In this episode, I talk about why that feeling is so common and why it shouldn’t stop you from sharing what you create. We’ll also talk about why trying hard isn’t something to be embarrassed about, why even posts that seem to flop can still reach the right people, and why letting yourself be seen is often the key to getting hired. The truth is, the thing that feels the most cringe is often the exact thing that moves your art career forward. www.artistacademy.com
