  • For the artists who didn’t go to art school

    So rare to find a podcast that actually walks you through the steps of how to go about doing something. So many other pods give vague descriptions of marketing by saying “just post to Insta every x days” or “submit your artwork by following the instructions on the company website” but not many walk you through the steps of doing that, explain exactly what to post, submit, etc, or explain the why. Thank you ladies! Keep it up. Would be happy to support in other ways if you ever need it.
