how to collaborate

[SEASON 2 FINALE]  In this mini episode, I'm excited to share with you the concept of "niche-ing down" as an artist. Have you ever struggled to find your focus as a creative? Do you feel like you're trying to appeal to everyone and ending up pleasing no one? Then this episode is for you! I'll be exploring the benefits and drawbacks of niche-ing down, and sharing tips on how to find your own niche as an artist. Plus, I'll introduce an alternative concept that will inspire you to "be your own niche". So grab a notebook, hit play, and let's find you a niche — or three!

On today's Minisode, I'm talking about collaboration — something that's super important but overlooked by artists! I've collaborated with a lot of artists through the podcast, and I wanted to share my four stages of collaboration with you all. First up, we have outreach — make sure you're genuine friends with the person you want to work with, or at least interact with them like a real friend would. Next, ideation — come up with an idea that's fun and fair for both sides, and make sure it aligns with both of your values. Then, collaborating — make sure the workload is equal and set a timeline that works for both of you. Finally, publishing and promoting - promote the project together and always give credit where it's due. I hope this episode inspires you to collaborate with your art pals, and if you have any questions about collaborations then please call or text me at 305-985-3729 with your follow-up questions and I'll answer them in the next episode.
