Show Notes
As soon as we start talking about marketing for illustrators, we (almost always) get the question, 'Should I have a separate Instagram account for my illustration work?'
See also: Do I need more than one website? Do I need more than one newsletter?
In this episode we're answering that burning question, plus lots more all about the rollercoaster that is sharing your illustration work online.
Your online presence does NOT have to be shiny and polished. We're all about done-is-better-than-perfect, and we hope this episode gives you the firm-but-tender Good Ship kick up the bum you need to start sharing your stuff more consistently, whatever consistency means to you.
