More eyes. More sales. More balance. Less work.

What if your business was set up to run smoothly so you had the space to focus on new work?

What if you saw more engagement on your social media and more clicks through to your shop?

If you’ve been stuck at one level for a while now, you’re probably feeling frustrated. But learning all the tech involved in automating the systems in your business is daunting. Why not get support?

Aligning Art and Business is a membership with workshops and weekly support calls. Imagine working in a small group of other artists all focused on growing their businesses. Imagine talking to a business coach every week!

Who this was made for

Aligning Art and Business was created after five years of coaching and teaching artists of many disciplines including painters, jewelry designers, sculptors, and more. The same struggles were happening across the board.

Artists felt alone, and overwhelmed with the tech side of their business. They were torn between making beautiful works of art (of course!) and working on the business of selling their art online.

I want to make it simple for artists to grow a business while maintaining balance in your life. I believe everything, from your habits to your relationships and responsibilities, affect your ability to create art that is authentically yours. I don’t teach just business, I teach balance between art and business.

Aligning Art & Business has been going strong since September 2020! Come join us for only $49/month.

The B.A.L.A.N.C.E. Framework is the core of the membership. Which stage are you at in your business?

 

Stage 1: Build Your Web Presence

Build a simple website, start a business Instagram / Facebook / Pinterest / YouTube, and develop your brand.

Stage 2: Align With Your Raving Fans

Create your email list and build a nurturing relationship with your new subscribers. Create some love to give them in exchange for their email address. Do hashtag research and understand your soon-to-be raving fans. Develop a content marketing plan that works with your life.

Stage 3: Launch Your Shop

If possible, move your shop to your website to avoid Etsy fees. Set up your product line and shipping. Create your packaging. Track your inventory and cost of goods.

 

Stage 4: Awareness and Systems

Building on what you’ve set up so far, here’s where we streamline your time. Adjust your content marketing strategy, batch social media and emails, use a scheduling service, track your stats, and automate other parts of your business where it makes sense.

 

Stage 5: Next-Level Artist CEO

If you haven’t already, hire a virtual assistant. Decide on your hiring plan. What are you good at? What do you hate doing? What can you delegate? Calculate the value of your time. Profit-First style budgeting. Work on job descriptions, create a set of company values and a mission.

 

Stage 6: Channel Growth

You have your art shop running smoothly. What are some new products or channels you can add to your business? Teaching? Prints? Write a book? Develop a plan to expand your business revenue streams.

 

Stage 7: Empowered Empire

You’ve expanded your revenue streams, hired staff, automated business where possible. You’re in your zone of genius. You’re the visionary CEO. You trust your team to do their work. You are making sales and growing your audience. Now you evaluate your business and start to make it more efficient. Where would you like to make changes? What’s not working well? You can go back to all the stages and evaluate and streamline. Work on your business mission and giving back to your community.

YIKES!!! It would be pretty tough to get through all seven stages, especially for those of us working day jobs, parenting, and/or dealing with chronic illness. Aligning Art & Business is set up as a membership. You’ll receive weekly support to help you implement.

Aligning Art & Business is only $49/month
