This is from Claire Paniccia that helped me figure out the ecosystem that would work for me. She recommended that you choose from one to two in each category, whichever are the most appealing to you. Scroll down for info on 30 day challenge.

Hi everyone, I’ve recently been given the option to sign up for Meta Verified through Meta Business Suite. I’m seriously considering it but wanted to hear from those of you who might already have it. Earlier this year, my Facebook page was cloned five times, and spammers even contacted my customers pretending to be me. It was a nightmare! 😟 Even though the copy pages were reported it took many months for them to be taken down. I’m thinking Meta Verified might be a good way to protect both my page and my customers, but I’ve also heard mixed reviews from other artists. If you’re Meta Verified: - Have you noticed any positive difference? - Has it helped with security or customer trust? I’d love to hear your experiences before I take the plunge. Thanks in advance for sharing your thoughts! 😊

In the beginning, I tried to sell my art only through messages. Honestly, I was too shy to connect with people directly, in person or on Zoom. I thought selling through messages would work, but it didn’t. I sold a few pieces, but it took a lot of time and effort. In 2020, everything changed. My desire to quit my job became so strong that I told myself I’d do whatever it took. I focused on two things: 1. Raise my prices. I realized selling paintings for $1,000 meant I’d need to sell 10 pieces a month to make $10k. That felt like a lot. So, I raised my prices to $4,000 per piece. 2. Start talking to people. I committed to jumping on calls with potential buyers, even if they didn’t specifically ask to buy art. The universe had my back. The first person I spoke to bought two pieces at $4,000 each. If I hadn’t raised my prices, I would’ve made $2k instead of $8k. It took courage and belief to do this. I told myself it was just a test, if no one bought, I could always adjust my prices later. But it worked, and I kept doing the same thing. From my experience, the biggest game-changer for artists isn’t having a perfect social media profile, website, or brand (although those are important). It’s building relationships. If you ask me what to focus on, I’d say: talk to people. Whether it’s at events, on Zoom, or anywhere else, just don’t be shy about your art. You’ll be surprised how many people are interested once they get to know you. I also believe the biggest thing holding artists back is spending too much time on everything except talking to people. For me, 80% of my success came from connecting with others. I even stopped calling them “sales calls” and started calling them “connection calls.” Every time I had a meaningful conversation, people became more interested in my art. They saw the value not just in the art but also in the connection they had with me. If you’re shy about selling, start small. You can build relationships through social media and email too, like Maria does so well with Drew’s art.
