What You’ll Learn

Week 1: Define Your Creative Brand
We’ll uncover what makes your art unique. You’ll create a brand story, choose key brand words, and begin building a Pinterest mood board to capture the visual tone of your brand.
Week 2: Design Your Look + Choose Your Website Platform
Using your mood board for inspiration, we’ll select your fonts, colors, and create a simple logo using Canva. You’ll also explore and compare free website platforms to choose the one that fits your goals.
Week 3: Build Your Website (With No Tech Stress)
I’ll guide you through building a functional, professional-looking website using the free platform you chose. You'll create the core pages you need—like your homepage, about page, gallery, or shop intro.
Week 4: Use Social Media Without the Burnout
Learn how to simplify content, schedule posts in batches, and stay consistent without feeling glued to your phone. We’ll focus on using social media to connect—not just to sell.
Week 5: Get Found Through Pinterest + Google
We’ll create a Pinterest business profile, design clickable pins, and talk about how to use basic SEO to help people find your site on Google—all without paid ads or complicated tech.
Week 6: Launch + Streamline Your System
This week ties it all together. You’ll build a simple weekly workflow, connect your tools, and make a plan for consistent visibility that works for you. We’ll also celebrate your progress and look at what’s next.
