FAQ about Artist's Launch Academy
This Academy is the first of it's kind so I have been keeping notes of all the questions I have already gotten from my pilot artists and artists that I have interviewed and connected with.
What exactly is Artist's Launch Academy?
Artist's Launch Academy is a comprehensive digital marketing program designed specifically for artists who want to sell their art online. The program teaches you how to build a complete marketing ecosystem, including your website, SEO, email marketing, and social media strategy.
Is this program right for me if I'm just starting out?
Yes! The program is designed for artists at all levels, including complete beginners. We break down complex marketing concepts into manageable steps and provide clear, actionable guidance for implementing each strategy.
I'm an established artist - will I still benefit from this program?
Absolutely. The program covers both foundational and advanced marketing strategies. Even if you're already selling your art, you'll learn how to create more efficient systems, reach new audiences, and scale your art business.

Technical Requirements
What technical skills do I need for this program?
You only need basic computer skills and familiarity with using the internet. We walk you through every technical aspect step-by-step, from setting up your website to managing your email marketing.
Do I need to have a website already?
No, you don't need an existing website. We guide you through the process of either creating a new website or optimizing your current one if you have one.
What tools or software will I need?
We provide a complete list of recommended tools, both free and paid options, but the essential tools include:
-
A computer with internet access
-
Basic image editing software
-
Social media accounts
-
Wix Studio (Typically, $40 a month)
-
SEMRush, you can use the free version and wait to use the paid version when you are about 6 months from the launch of your website. The paid version is $150 per month.
-
Email Marketing Platform Wix has one, but some people don't like the design constrictions. If that is you, then I recommend Flodesk, paired with Zapier to connect the website to that email platform. All things I show in the academy btw.
Support and Community
What kind of support is available?
Along with the educational content, Artist's Launch Academy is a community driven online platform. Most artist's feel alone when it comes down to speaking to artists about marketing outside of social media. I am creating an intentional space where you not only can connect, get advice and provide feedback with fellow artists; but you will also have access to myself as a mentor as you go through the academy.
I am working on the structure on how I can provide that support but ideally we will have group meetings, the ability for you to message me on the community platform and the ability to schedule a one on one meeting if you need extra help studying.
The workbook is also a resource that you will get with the academy, this will help you think differently when it comes to marketing. It is highly interactive and is meant to help people who learn by doing and not exclusively by listening.
Investment and Results
How much time should I invest weekly to see results?
This is a self paced academy so you can take as little or as long as you need.
For artists who are dedicating 5-8 hours a week to the academy, you should expect to finish in 3 and a half months.
How soon can I expect to see results?
Results vary depending on your starting point and how consistently you implement the strategies. Some artists see improvements in their online visibility within weeks, while building a strong collector base typically takes 3-6 months of consistent effort.
Do you offer any guarantees?
We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee if you find the program isn't the right fit for your needs. We believe in the value of our content and want you to feel confident in your investment.
