How to Manage Your Painting Time vs. Marketing Time

2016-05-10T23:04:00.000-07:00

“How to Manage Your Painting Time vs. Marketing Time”

Scheduled Air Date: Thursday, May 12, 9:00 am PST, 12:00 noon EST.

This week's Artists Helping Artists show is about managing marketing time vs. painting time. Since I get emails about this topic almost every day, it seemed appropriate to do an entire show on the topic.

I think most artists fall in to one of two categories. The first (which is me) spend more time marketing than painting. The second (which is more like my co-host Margaret Sheldon) spend more time painting and not enough marketing. Today's show will help all artists try to find a healthy balance between the two.

If by any chance you struggle with marketing time vs. painting time, then you should listen to this show.
