Instagram Strategy for Artists: Grow & Sell Your Art

Host Hayley White shares her Instagram strategy for artists, emphasizing that while Instagram can be a powerful tool, it's not the only path to growth. She explains why artists often gravitate to Instagram despite other effective channels like galleries, designers, and newsletters. Hayley breaks down her "Instagram playbook" into three essential content types: 40% top-of-funnel content for views (like trending audio or memes with an art spin), 40% useful content for saves and shares (teaching, solving, or resonating), and 20% "you content" (your face, voice, story) to build trust and drive sales. She stresses that you need all three types to convert views into followers and ultimately into customers. Hayley also highlights the importance of using Instagram as part of a larger funnel, primarily to grow your newsletter, which is where the vast majority of her own sales happen. Learn how to implement this strategy, track the right metrics, and push your audience to your website or email list.
