Why Artists Should Do More of What They Do Best: Create

Artist Trying To Market

In today’s digital age, art has transcended beyond galleries and physical canvases. With the rise of platforms like Instagram, Pinterest, and even Etsy, artists can reach a global audience from the comfort of their studios. But there's a catch. To truly reach a wider audience and capitalize on their talent, artists often find themselves diving deep into the world of marketing, SEO, and sales. The very essence of artistry is threatened when artists try to wear too many hats. The truth is: there's a better way.


The Allure of Digital Marketing

Digital marketing, in all its glory, promises vast reach. Every tweet, post, or product upload teases the potential of viral fame. And why not? We've all heard stories of artists who shot to stardom with a single well-placed tweet or Instagram post. Yet, what isn’t often talked about are the countless hours artists spend trying to decode the ever-changing algorithms, mastering SEO, or understanding the intricacies of Facebook ads.

It's enticing to think, "If I just learn this one marketing trick, my art will sell itself." But the reality is that for every hour spent learning marketing, it's an hour less perfecting one's art.


The ROI of Pure Artistry

The Return on Investment (ROI) in business refers to the profit you gain from a particular activity compared to its cost. Now, let’s apply this principle to artistry.

Imagine if Van Gogh had spent his days not in painting Starry Night, but in figuring out the 19th-century equivalent of Google Ads. Would the world of art be the same?

19th Century Marketing

Every hour an artist spends trying to be a mediocre marketer is an hour taken away from potentially creating a masterpiece. The ROI on creating better art is simply incomparable to anything else an artist can do. Art that resonates, captivates, and evokes strong emotions will always find its audience. And this is where Artist Royal Tees steps in.



Introducing Artist Royal Tees: Where Artists Thrive

Our mission at Artist Royal Tees is simple: let artists do art. We believe in the raw, untapped potential of every artist, and we’ve seen firsthand the magic that happens when artists are freed from the shackles of marketing and sales.

Our platform allows artists to turn their creations into wearable masterpieces. T-shirts. But here's the kicker: we handle everything else. From production to shipping, SEO to ad campaigns, we've got it covered.


Why Offload the Heavy Lifting?

It's not just about reclaiming time, though that's a significant part of it. It's about mental bandwidth. The world of digital marketing is constantly evolving. Just when you've got the hang of one platform, another emerges. It's a relentless, never-ending cycle of learning, testing, and optimizing. And for what? Decent results, at best?

Instead, why not focus on what you truly love and are genuinely good at? Leave the selling to the sellers, the marketers to the marketing, and the artists? Well, they should be creating.


Final Brushstrokes

Art is an ever-evolving, dynamic field that thrives on creativity, innovation, and passion. It's about bringing dreams to life, not chasing elusive algorithms.

To all the artists out there, I say this: focus on your craft, create better art, and let platforms like Artist Royal Tees handle the business side of things. The world needs your masterpieces, not another decently marketed piece.Artist Royal Tees Banner
