how to grow on IG & TikTok as an ARTIST (ft. @MarleneVega)

Marlene Vega has managed to take her art business part time with just her phone through the power of short form video content. Posting Instagram reels and short videos on TikTok has enabled her to take her passion into a profitable small business (!!!) And the craziest thing? she manages to do all of this while working a regular 9 to 5. In this interview, we chat about time management, Instagram vs. TikTok vs. YouTube Shorts, how to get in the habit of filming, and so much more. Generally just everything related to social media strategy for artists :) Short form video content is something a lot of artists have been resistant to incorporating into their marketing strategy, but it has the potential to take your business to the next level. 💕 MARLENE'S SOCIALS @MarleneVega https://www.instagram.com/notmarlenevega/ https://www.tiktok.com/@notmarlenevega 💬 JOIN OUR FREE DISCORD SERVER: https://discord.com/servers/the-studio-lounge-805831366406438912 🍿 WATCH NEXT: How to Launch Your Art Career: https://youtu.be/I6mbCPEtX8g How Brooke Cormier made $80k selling on Instagram: https://youtu.be/1K9U3O0fMQI How I Plan My Videos: https://youtu.be/srI86rEkxVs ⏰ TIMESTAMPS 00:00 Marlene’s Growth on Instagram and her Journey 10:40 Converting on TikTok vs Instagram 13:20 Crossposting and Reusing Content 18:31 Adding a Personal Touch to Content 20:36 Creating Content in a more Comfortable Way 22:07 Marlene’s First Viral Video on YouTube 27:38 Time Management and Productivity 33:03 UGC Content and Future Business Plans 44:28 Funding the Creative Process, Full-Time vs Part-Time 47:24 Tips for Growing Social Media 50:55 Getting used to Filming and Creating Short Form Content 58:10 How Kelsey Manages her YouTube Schedule 1:03:04 Hiring an Editor and the Application Process 📖 RESOURCES FOR ARTISTS ✏️ New Master's Art Academy* (this is how I'm learning art online, and is an affiliate link that helps support the channel): https://www.nma.art/?ref=137 📚 My art book collection: https://bookshop.org/lists/my-art-book-collection 🎨 How I plan my paintings: https://milanote.com/kelseyrodriguez ⚙️ GEAR & FURNITURE ⚙️ *referral / affiliate links* ○ Desk & Chair From Fully: https://bit.ly/3U8xJXt ○ My monitor stand and fave desk accessories: https://bit.ly/3fr5e8A ○ Main Camera - Sony FX30: https://amzn.to/3ZxxKYH ○ My lens filter: https://www.moment.8ocm68.net/RyZ9P9 ○ Where I get my music from: https://www.epidemicsound.com/referral/so8fhf/ * Referral or affiliate links in this description allow me to gain a small commission off of any purchases you make through the link, at no extra cost to you.
