Creative CEO | The Business Podcast For Artists

Being a self employed artist is fantastic, but I had never even realised how lonely it would be. I talk through my experience and give you some ideas on how to combat the feeling of loneliness, whether you're considering becoming self employed or whether you're already there and don't want to feel alone in feeling like this. I hope you enjoy!

In this episode I discuss how you can make a change to your art business without drastically losing your audience along the way. As a creative you are going to naturally want to change what you are doing from time to time, so here are some practical tips on how you can change your art style, make a slight pivot or completely stop one of your offers, for example if you wanted to stop doing commissions.

This is an episode of two halves, all about mindset. To begin with, I talk about overwhelm and the power you have to let something go temporarily or permanently when your plate feels too full. The second half is all about art being a viable career and mindsets you may need to adopt to mentally keep going when things are quiet, changing perceptions from family and friends as well as a mindset shift about viral reels!

Can camera shy artists still sell? Absolutely! Instead of comparing yourself to the extroverts and stopping yourself from doing that all important marketing, use your own personality to create content that you are confident doing.Listener Survey: https://forms.gle/BSn2KZJg7bfL6v3e6For more useful information on running an art business, including downloadable guides, visit: https://georgieturnerartist.co.uk/collections/creative-ceo Hosted on Acast.

This week I talk about SEO (search engine optimisation) for both social media and your website. It's not good enough to reply on viral content or shares from your audience, we can't control that! But we can control what we write and finding the right keywords and search terms your customers use is an excellent way of helping people find your work. If they can't find you, they can't buy!Listener Survey: https://forms.gle/BSn2KZJg7bfL6v3e6For more useful information on running an art business, including downloadable guides, visit: https://georgieturnerartist.co.uk/collections/creative-ceo Hosted on Acast.

In this episode I talk all about the pressures of running an art business, whether that's keeping up with your competition, the pressure to post on social media or joining in with Black Friday sales. I also talk about why it's good to sometimes put the pressure on and when it's important to take it off. This comes from my experience in November where it all got too much and I had to press pause on marketing my art business (whilst quietly putting equal pressure on myself to complete commissions!). I hope this episode helps anyone who finds themselves feeling in a state of pressure at any time in their art business.Listener Survey: https://forms.gle/BSn2KZJg7bfL6v3e6For more useful information on running an art business, including downloadable guides, visit: https://georgieturnerartist.co.uk/collections/creative-ceo Hosted on Acast.

It's been 6 months since I've been completely self employed (and 5 years since I started my art business). After a week of socialising with new and old friends for my sister's wedding, one key phrase kept coming out of my mouth - I'm so happy.

For my first ever guest interview, I chatted to equine photographer Martha Lily about her own business journey which started aged 15! I took so much away from this interview, including:How to set boundaries and limitations when working with clientsPutting yourself in your clients shoes to help with content creationNot having a routine can be a blessingHaving the mentality of 'done is better than perfect' will ease the risk of burnout (and still lead to an award!!)Martha takes me through her journey from taking on the event photography side of her business from an early age, branching into client shoots and also going back into full time education whilst running a business. Martha has so many good points to raise about what it's truly like being self employed and some valuable advice when it comes to working with clients.I truly loved this conversation (and I loved being an interviewer!).

Everyone's journey is different and mine from art student to full time artist didn't go the way you may think it did. I have gone completely full circle and landed back into being an artist, but it took various turns and bumps in the road to get here. Along the way I studied Graphic Design, dabbled in Interior Design and up-cycling furniture, nearly started a wedding stationery business but landed in teaching. From then on, I made it my mission to run my own art business and this journey is what I talk about in this episode.Listener Survey: https://forms.gle/BSn2KZJg7bfL6v3e6For more useful information on running an art business, including downloadable guides, visit: https://georgieturnerartist.co.uk/collections/creative-ceo Hosted on Acast.

My brain is constantly lying to me. Ever since I quit my job, it has been telling me that 'if I'm not working, I'm not earning' and I know that this is a toxic mindset which has to change.In this episode, I let Chat GPT be my therapist and discuss how I can shift from this mindset. I also discuss reframing what passive income means in terms of running a solo business and set actionable steps that you can do today to stop yourself from feeling like you should always be working.I hope this episode can help people if you're feeling stuck in this mindset too.Find me on socials!INSTAGRAM @georgieturnerartistFACEBOOK @georgieturnerartistTIKTOK @georgieturnerartistWEBSITE www.georgieturnerartist.co.ukEMAIL [email protected] Survey: https://forms.gle/BSn2KZJg7bfL6v3e6For more useful information on running an art business, including downloadable guides, visit: https://georgieturnerartist.co.uk/collections/creative-ceo Hosted on Acast.

Welcome back to Creative CEO. In this video, I discuss the importance of diversifying marketing strategies for artists beyond social media, especially Instagram. Despite not going viral for six months, my business thrives thanks to various other tools. I emphasise the significance of not putting all your eggs in one basket and explore powerful alternatives like word-of-mouth, excellent customer service, email lists, and face-to-face events. I also highlight the benefits of collaborations, both online and offline, and maintaining a strong website with good SEO. By nurturing relationships and continuously engaging with clients, artists can build a loyal customer base and expand their reach.Leave me a review if you love this one!

In this episode of Creative CEO, I discuss the importance of consistency for growing a creative business. Reflecting on my own struggles with consistency in the last quarter of 2024, I've decided to make it my buzzword for 2025. I delve into the science behind why consistency is beneficial, such as the exposure effect, and share how it can help build trust, reliability, and a strong brand.
