342 If I Were Starting to Sell My Art Today…Here's What I'd Do First

What if starting to sell your art (again… or for the first time) could be simpler than you're making it?   After 21 years of building a successful art business, I'm sharing the foundational starting point I would choose if I were beginning today—without trying to do everything at once, without performing online, and without burning out.   If you've been feeling scattered, overwhelmed, or stuck in "I don't know what to focus on first," this episode will help you cut through the noise and choose a direction you can actually follow.   In this episode, you'll discover: The most common reason Artists feel overwhelmed when marketing (and how to fix it) Why selling your art is about connection, not convincing The simple "start here" approach I'd follow today to build momentum How to think in 90-day focus seasons instead of yearly pressure Why consistency matters more than bursts of motivation (especially when life is full) How to stop being a "shiny squirrel" and do more of what's actually working   I'm also sharing a little behind-the-scenes honesty about the perfection loop so many of us fall into—where we wait until we feel ready… and end up pausing instead of taking action. Listen through the lens of: "What if this works?" Because it really can.   Ready to create your plan?   Join the Profitable Artist Planning Challenge starting January 12 at: profitableartistchallenge.shinepages.com   You can find all things Marisa and Creative Thursday at: creativethursday.com Instagram: @creativethursday
