When I first start marketing my art, what should I focus on while my website is being built?

Focus on building your social media presence immediately. Start learning best practices for Instagram and Facebook, understand what content to post, and begin growing your follower base. Study guides on follower growth strategies for both platforms. Consider following structured tutorials or courses that teach social media basics for artists step-by-step. Attend regular coaching or Q&A sessions to ask questions and learn from others just starting out—consistency in showing up and learning will quickly get you up to speed. Social media work can begin before your website launches and will give you an audience ready to visit when it does go live.
