Summary
As artists we have unprecedented opportunities to market ourselves and our work. We no longer have to rely on galleries or agents - the internet allows us to connect directly with potential buyers. Sharing our creative process is a highly effective way to do this, and video can be a wonderful way to satisfy people’s interest.
This week, we discuss different ways to get started with video, including how to create a video without appearing in it, how you can use Facebook “lives,” and why Instagram stories might be a good way to get started.
We also acknowledge the vulnerability that comes with sharing our creative practice and get the giggles about some of the not-so-nice comments we have received. But we both agree that the benefits far outweigh the (extremely rare) mean remarks. If we want people to see our art, we have to let them see us.
This week’s inspirations are all about taking time out for ourselves, and we answer a listener question about how to look at Instagram without becoming demoralised.
Finally, we say a huge thank you to everyone who donated by buying us a coffee - your contributions are greatly appreciated.

| 1:54.0 | And this week we are getting into how you feel about sharing your creative process, how it might make you |
| 2:08.3 | feel exposed about the creative side of doing it. We're not going to talk so much about technicalities of it, but more |
| 2:16.8 | around whether this is something that you should be opening yourself up to a little bit more. |
| 2:21.6 | We have a listener question from somebody who's feeling demoralized |
| 2:26.0 | when she looks at Instagram and how to handle that. And as usual, we've got the things that inspire us and |
