211 - Escape Social Media with Seth Werkheiser

Social media has changed my life.

I’m able to support myself as a full time artist. When I have a new show, event or print release, I post online and make sales. I’ve managed to connect with incredible creatives and famous celebrities. It’s a powerful tool.

But I don’t enjoy it. I hate the pressure. I feel like everyone all of a sudden hates my work if a post performs badly. I don’t post consistently so I’m often in the instagram dog house. Making a reel takes me forever; I need B roll, a script and a catchy ‘hook’. I’m tired.

I JUST WANT TO MAKE ART DAMMIT!

Navigating all of this is hard, so I was so happy to chat with Seth Werkheiser who offers a bunch of alternative ways to connect with your audience. Ways that don’t involve spending six hours producing a video that won’t be shown to the people who have chosen to follow you!

I hope this ep. inspires you. Let me know if you decide to do something different after listening.

I’m so happy to be back, making these episodes. Thanks for listening - I’m so glad they’re helping.
