Marketing for Artists and Makers with Megan Auman

This week I spent time with a designer, Metal Smith Educator and entrepreneur, Megan Auman, who has built a multifaceted business around her passion for art, commerce and visual content creation. Really that’s just a fancy way of saying that she's obsessed with Instagram and Pinterest. In addition to running her eponymous jewelry line, you'll find you're helping artists and makers grow their profit through her online mentorship program, artists and profit makers. This episode is for those who want to create an incredible art and beauty in the world. You’ll find that Megan is straight up with her advice, which I find incredibly helpful as I even talk about my own interest in having a physical product business. Some of my favorite takeaways include… What Megan’s take on Etsy really is What the biggest challenge is with selling physical products online What common advice makers are listening to that is actually hurting their business What steps artists or makers could start doing in order to have more effective marketing Find more of Megan’s teachings in her classes at https://www.meganauman.com/classes-workshops/ You can find her on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/meganauman/ or on her website at https://www.meganauman.com/ Create like you mean it, Jamie
