Your website has a simple purpose: to showcase your art -> to get your visitors to take an action.

Art buyers have become used to navigating easy-to-use websites, so keep in mind that less is ALWAYS more

Think about it as a digital gallery, so instead of trying to add all the bells and whistles to your website, I urge you to keep it simple. Let your art works be what stands out the most over your website design

So whether you're in the process of setting up your first-ever website (congrats!!🥳) or you’re feeling like your current website isn’t bringing in traffic and sales and so an update is due... In this blog post, I’m sharing the top 5 things that every artist's website should have 💻 Check it out 👉 https://marthamayronson.com/blog/5-tips-for-your-artist-website 👈

ALL you need to master your art portfolio page! 🤩

It’s not enough to only showcase your current available works on your website, art collectors and art buyers want to also see the strongest art works you’ve created in the past

Most buyers desire to know as much as possible about you the artist before deciding to buy one of your works. So let’s make this process as easy as it can be for them by having a clear Portfolio page linked in your main website navigation

In this blog, I'm focusing on the best art portfolio practices for your artist's website portfolio. Because we all know that it's completely different to prepare an art portfolio for an art school, application, or an open exhibition to what it looks like to put an art portfolio together for your artist website

https://marthamayronson.com/blog/how-to-attract-art-collectors-to-your-instagram-profile

If you've been following me for a while then you will already know that posting on Instagram isn’t as easy as snapping a photo of your art work and publishing it... There are so many layers to this platform!

In my latest blog post, I share the five steps you need to take to "effortlessly" attract art collectors and art buyers to your profile

Remember, consistency is key with social media!

It is actually really easy to sell your art online, and a good marketing strategy is key to making that happen for you so go ahead and check out my most recent blog post to find out the most important things you should be doing right now to get your art noticed on Instagram by art collectors and increase your sales! 🥳

Being an artist in 2023, having a website is a no-brainer 😬

Your website has a simple purpose, which is to showcase your art!

Approach your website as if it were a digital gallery, let your art works pop instead of an overbearing website design taking centre stage

And not any kind of website will do, art buyers have become accustomed to navigating easy-to-use websites

So if you're in the process of setting up your first-ever website or you’re feeling like your current website isn’t working and needs a bit of an update, you'll want to check out today's blog post 💫

I’m taking all the guesswork out and sharing with you the most important features an artist website should include, plus inside I share live website examples from some of my students inside my programmes 🤗

Before accepting an art commission, you'll want to do this👇👇

The process of setting up and completing a commissioned art work is not simple and easy, but there's a way to ensure it goes as smooth as possible

Setting clear expectations with your client from the very beginning is definitely key when completing an art commission

Otherwise, the experience can turn into a nightmare and an anxiety-inducing project very quickly!! 😬

I know it can be a daunting process to complete an art commission which is why in today's blog post I'm sharing with you my top tips to create a solid "art commissions process". I'll be covering the main 9 questions I believe you should ask any potential buyer before accepting a commission

Here's the blog 👉 https://marthamayronson.com/blog/9-questions-to-ask-before-accepting-an-art-commission 👈

Blogging has been proven to be a great tool for soo many artists; it gives your audience a bit more insight into who you are as the artist, your brand, and basically what you're all about

The more your audience can read/see about you, the higher your chances will be of making a sale. It's that "know, like, and trust" factor you might have heard before

While you can create this on social media, the amount of content you can share over here is limited and can be disorganised and difficult to save and find later

Blog posts are a way to nurture your audience even more!

So if you want to get into blogging but aren't sure where to begin, take a look at my latest blog post where I share with you my top 3 tips on how to write a blog post as an artist! https://marthamayronson.com/blog/3-tips-to-write-a-blog-post-as-an-artist

Are you showing up regularly on social media? 🤔

Many artists don’t show up on social media in general because they feel like it will take too much time away from making art, is this you?

Well let me tell you, this just isn’t true.⁣⁣⁠.. If you have a plan and organise yourself, showing up consistently on social media is not as time-consuming as you might think

Check out my latest blog post, where I share with you my 4 top tips on what you can do to juggle social media alongside your art practice. And ultimately learn how to sell your art on Instagram even if you don’t have thousands of followers
https://marthamayronson.com/blog/how-to-sell-your-art-on-instagram

Being on only one social media platform isn’t going to cut it 🙅‍♀️ but don't stress! There's actually a way to be more strategic about the way you show up on multiple platforms 😉

You want to be leveraging social media as a marketing tool in order to reach the right audience and make consistent sales. And as an artist operating online, it's highly beneficial to use a variety of them too.

But not any platforms will do… There are some social platforms that work best for artists to help you showcase your works and tap into art buyers.

In this blog post, I’m sharing my top 5 best social media platforms for artists selling their art online: https://marthamayronson.com/blog/top-5-best-social-media-platforms-for-artists

Plus I'm also giving you my top tips for artists on how to start posting on each platform!

Truth bomb: Posting your art work alone on Instagram just isn't going to create sales 💣💥🤯

Chances are you’re already using Instagram as a marketing tool (and not just for fun) and you know that social media marketing can lead to sales. And if you’re in business (ie you’re an artist that’s making money from being an artist) then sales = good!

Alright, now that we're clear on why you're using Instagram, you're probably thinking that in order to make more sales through Instagram you just need to focus on attracting more people into your audience and increase your amount of followers, but that might not need to be the case. There is a strategic way to help you turn your current Instagram followers into art buyers 😲

No matter what your audience size is, the 4 core factors I'm sharing in my latest blog post (https://marthamayronson.com/blog/how-to-turn-instagram-followers-into-art-buyers-the-4-golden-rules) will help you make more sales through your Instagram (as long as you apply them consistently). Simple as that!

These tips will take you from aimlessly posting on social media, to knowing what you should be doing next to connect further with your current audience and turn your Instagram followers into art buyers.

While there isn't a shortcut to making sales and create a sustainable art business, if you apply these 4 tips consistently, you will build a connection with your audience that will pay off in the future and potentially lead to an increase in sales!

Are you fed up of Instagram?

A lot of artists have been telling me how fed up they are at using Instagram at the moment but you WILL feel fed up if you are rolling out posts and nothing's happening at your end... You WILL feel frustrated, you WILL feel like it's a complete waste of time...

But did you know that 80% of art buyers use Instagram to discover new artists?

According to the Hiscox Online Art Trade Report 2021, the use of Instagram for art-related purposes including discovering and buying from artists has continued to increase since 2015.

Not only that, online art sales have skyrocketed since 2019! (swipe left to see the stats)

I'm sharing this with you to show you just how important it is as an artist to have a social media strategy and presence, especially on Instagram. And if you're not showing up consistently and strategically yet then you really are missing out on potential sales 💸

You can see how this data completely backs up the fact that now is the BEST time to invest your time and energy into mastering the art of Instagram

I know you've been trying to apply ALL the advice you've seen online but there's still nothing happening… you’re getting very few likes, comments, and follows and no one is messaging you!

So this post is to show you that it isn't time to give up, but instead to raise to the top and learn the exact strategies to start using Instagram effectively to attract people who have a genuine interest in your art practice

And that's exactly what you'll find inside my comprehensive course Instagram for Artists. You'll learn not only how to optimise your Instagram profile but also how to use the platform effectively and get the algorithm working for you 📈

If you love creating art and it is your dream to make an income as a full-time artist, then you're in the right place!⁠⁣

Chances are you're already marketing your art online... or at least you're trying... but it seems like no one (or very few) is actually paying attention.

You've been doing everything you can think of to build and grow an online art business but nothing seems to be working... I get it! There's so much advice out there that it can really be difficult to know which will work and which won't work for you. What will actually move the needle forward or what will be a waste of time...

That's why I’m sharing with you the top 5 must-haves you need in order to build and grow an online art business in the latest blog. These will take you from having no idea how to get started (or keep going) to feeling clear on what your next steps are to put yourself and your art works out there and start making sales.

Are you left confused when speaking with gallerists or curators? 😐⁣⁠
⁣⁠
Don't blame yourself! You don’t know what you don’t know...⁣⁠
⁣⁠
If you're dealing with galleries and curators that are talking about procedures and using terminology you don’t understand, your immediate reaction might be to pretend to know what they’re talking about 😩 ⁣⁠
⁣⁠
While this protects you from feeling less than what you are; to avoid appearing stupid or inexperienced, it's only damaging you in the long run! 😱⁣⁠
⁣⁠
Having the ability to admit you don’t know something shows strength and self-assurance. Pretending that you know something when you really don’t closes you off from people explaining things to you ⁣⁠
⁣⁠
In my art world career, I noticed that the art world speaks its own unique language which many artists on the outside do not understand. So I've created this A-Z Gallery Jargon Glossary to help bridge the gap so that artists like YOU don't feel left in the dark 🌑⁣⁠
⁣⁠
This A-Z Gallery Jargon Glossary includes...⁣⁠
⁣⁠
✔ 13-page guide that’s easy to understand⁣⁠
✔ 80+ Art World terms explained inside!⁣⁠
⁣⁠
It has been designed specifically for Fine Artists wanting to build and sustain a successful career as a professional artist.⁣⁠
⁣⁠
If you want to be in the Art World and succeed in the Art World, then get to know the Art World…⁣⁠
⁣⁠
LEARN how it works! ⁣⁠

Have you ever been rejected ? 🤔

That was a bit of a rhetorical question because no artist can escape rejection, it happens to all artists!

Normalising the fact that every artist is going to get rejected at least once in their career (most likely many more) is something that will help you realise that being rejected by someone isn’t a direct reflection on you, your work, or your worth

Even the most successful artists have been rejected at one point or another, and the key to overcoming rejection is to cultivate a growth mindset to see it as an opportunity for growth

And that's exactly what I'm sharing with you on my latest blog. So go check out the exact 5 things I do myself and encourage artists to do in order to pick yourself back up and reframe rejection! 👉 https://marthamayronson.com/blog/5-ways-to-handle-rejection-as-an-artist
