  • The burnout life raft (for when you're drowning in to-dos)
    2024/11/22

    Feeling frazzled & running on illustration fumes? You're definitely not alone!

    In this episode, we wade on in to discuss the murky waters of burnout. Don't worry, we've got your life raft right here! We chat about what burnout actually IS, why it seems to be so common amongst illustrators & creatives, and most importantly, what you can do to nip it in the bud, or escape it if you're already knee-deep.

    So grab a cuppa, put your feet up, and recharge your batteries with us for a bit.

    (Once those Business Course doors close, they’re closed. We’re strict.)


    Show Notes

    As soon as we start talking about marketing for illustrators, we (almost always) get the question, 'Should I have a separate Instagram account for my illustration work?'

    See also: Do I need more than one website? Do I need more than one newsletter?

    In this episode we're answering that burning question, plus lots more all about the rollercoaster that is sharing your illustration work online.

    Your online presence does NOT have to be shiny and polished. We're all about done-is-better-than-perfect, and we hope this episode gives you the firm-but-tender Good Ship kick up the bum you need to start sharing your stuff more consistently, whatever consistency means to you.

    Timestamps

    00:00 – Intro and today’s big question
    00:36 – One account or two?
    01:25 – The “doorway method” for your website
    04:38 – Juggling different styles in one space
    05:38 – Why adding a personal touch is key
    10:18 – Tweaking your marketing so that you get noticed
    19:52 – Wrapping it all up with some final thoughts

    p.s. it's NOT all about social media. We talk about offline options that are super effective too.

    Come and say hello!
