Social Media Vs The Artists - How To Grow An Audience

Today we talk about the places we all frequent (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube) hoping to expand our reach. Hoping to connect. I discuss something I wish I did when I first started my journey: ask what I really wanted out of my social media experience. As creating content can often override the process of being an artist, leaving us feeling frustrated and burned out. Therefore its important to know what you want out of it, so you can be sure to spend your energy wisely.

I share what helped me, and my personal philosophy towards social media. I hope this can serve as guidance for other creatives who may feel frustrated sharing their art on social media.
