Day 5: Take Action and Reach Out You've defined your ideal audience and discovered where they spend their time. Now it's time to connect with them directly. Today's Focus: We'll be taking concrete steps to reach out to potential buyers and start building relationships. Action Steps: 1. List Specific Places to Connect: Identify 5-10 online or offline spaces where your ideal audience is active. This could be specific Facebook groups, Instagram hashtags, local clubs, or events or even people you already know. 2. Craft Your Introduction: If you want to post in groups, prepare a genuine message introducing yourself and your art. Highlight how your art aligns with their interests or values. 3. Engage with Your Audience: Reach out to at least 5 people today. - Online: Join groups, comment on posts, participate in discussions and introduce yourself and your art with a post. - Offline: Attend local events or meetups where your audience might be and talk to at least 5 people. SUMMARY: The main goal today is to reach out to 5-10 people! If it's in person or online - it's up to you. . I personally will reach out to 5-10 people in facebook groups where I'll find my ideal customer. - First I'll check a few groups on facebook with my ideal customer (no art groups or art collector groups - avoid these groups it's full of artists) - Then I'll join a few groups, engage with a few posts and then 1-2h later I'll make a post introducing myself and sharing my story with some pictures of my art (not all groups allow that, but if you make it inspiring and it fits to the topic of the group then it should be fine). - Last step: I'll send a message to at least 5-10 people that commented on my post. Once you've completed today's actions, share your experiences in the comments below: - How many people did you reach out today? - How did you find them? - How did it feel to reach out to potential buyers? - Any positive interactions you'd like to share?

Day 3: Define Your Artistic Voice (We make now a separate post everyday otherwise it gets a bit messy) Now that you’ve explored your "why" behind creating art, it's time to clarify what makes your work unique. Your artistic voice is the distinct way you express yourself through your art, and it sets you apart in a crowded marketplace. Today's focus: We’ll be working on identifying your unique style and voice, so you can confidently communicate it to your audience. Questions to guide your reflection: 1. What recurring themes or subjects do you notice in your art? 2. How would you describe your style (e.g., abstract, realistic, surreal)? 3. What colors, textures, or mediums do you find yourself drawn to the most? 4. How does your personal life, culture, or experiences influence your work? 5. What do people say about your art? (Ask others or reflect on past feedback.) 6. If your art had a “voice,” how would it speak to someone? What story does it tell? Action Step: Spend 15 minutes reflecting on these questions and write down your thoughts. Don’t worry about being too specific—just capture the essence of your artistic style. This is about finding clarity, not perfection. Why this matters: Understanding your artistic voice allows you to communicate more effectively with your audience. It also makes it easier for potential buyers to connect with your work on a deeper level. People don't just buy art; they buy the story behind the art! Once you're done share with us your answers in the comments below 👇

Would anyone be able to share a message you sent to your audience when reaching out?

Day 4: Understand Your Audience Now that you’ve defined your why and artistic voice, it’s time to focus on who’s listening, your audience. Understanding your audience is key to creating a connection between your art and potential buyers. Today's focus: We’ll be identifying who your ideal audience is and where to find them. Knowing your audience allows you to tailor your messaging, build a stronger relationship with them, and ultimately sell more art. Questions to guide your reflection: 1. Who are the people most drawn to your art? (Think about age, gender, profession, interests, etc.) 2. What problems, desires, or emotions does your art speak to in your audience? 3. Where does your audience spend their time online or offline? (Consider social media platforms, offline or online communities, facebook groups, local events, etc.) 4. How do your audience’s values align with the themes in your work? Action Step: Spend 10-15 minutes writing down your thoughts on these questions. Afterward, research where you can connect with this audience, whether it's online platforms, local art shows, or specific communities. When you speak directly to the people who resonate with your work, they’re more likely to become buyers. Once you're done, share your insights in the comments below! 👇
