Episode 41 Show Transcript - Empowered Artist Podcast
Unleash Your Art Business Potential with a Badass Instagram Profile
As an Artpreneur, your Instagram account is your storefront in the digital world.
It's where potential buyers get their first impression of you and your work.
In today's episode, I'm going to share with you the keys to creating a killer first impression on Instagram, attracting art buyers, and growing your online art business.
Connecting Through Your Profile Photo
Your profile photo is your first opportunity to make a connection with your audience.
It should be a clear, high-quality image of your face with your art in the background or you holding your art. Remember, people connect with people, not logos. So skip the substitutions and let your warm, welcoming face be the centerpiece of your profile.
Overcoming Insecurities About Showing Up Online
Many artists struggle with insecurities about showing up online, whether it's perfectionism, introversion, or concerns about privacy.
But to succeed as an artist online, you need to be seen.
Remember that your ideal clients are imperfect too, and by sharing your story and being authentic, you'll build a stronger connection with your audience.
Crafting Your First Nine Pieces of Content
Your first nine photos or videos on Instagram create your initial impression.
Make sure they align with the keywords and phrases that represent your brand and your art.
Aim to include yourself in at least two out of every six pieces of content to build a connection with your audience.
Crafting a Compelling Bio
Your Instagram bio is precious real estate. Use it to clearly communicate that you're an artist with work for sale.
Consider including emojis that reflect the essence of your brand to add warmth and personality to your profile.
Auditing Your Profile for Growth
Regularly audit your Instagram profile to ensure it accurately represents you and your brand.
Look at your first nine pieces of content with fresh eyes and ask yourself what they communicate about you.
Pin your best content to the top of your profile and consider deleting anything that doesn't align with your brand.
Let Data Lead the Way
Pay attention to what resonates with your audience and let the data guide your decisions.
Experiment with different types of content and see what generates the most engagement.
Don't be afraid to make changes and try new things.
