Calls For Art 11/24
Brittany Taylor
November 24, 2024
Hello!
Thank you so much to everyone who gave their feedback in last week’s survey. I’ve received a lot of great insight into the most common pain points you have around digital marketing and I’m optimistic about creating something that can help a lot of you.
Here are my main takeaways from your responses:
A large portion of you reported that you are not tech savvy.
Many of you are tech savvy but have minimal background in digital marketing.
Across all experience levels, lack of free time is a major obstacle.
Based on these takeaways I think it would be beneficial if the offerings were broken into two separate groups. One that is designed to accommodate the non tech savvy artists and another designed for the tech savvy crowd who is interested in jumping into the more advanced stuff. Both offerings would be designed with the goal of teaching you how to market your work online in bite sized steps that take as little time out of your day as possible. If this interests you, click on the group that you identify with the most below. When I’ve built this program out a bit more I will send you an email with some updates and specifics on what you can expect!
Which do you identify with? |
