Hi Mimi! Lovely video as always and Thanks so much for sharing my way of using Instagram and of course showing my work 🥰💗

I am far from being an artist but love your content

[ChantelleArts]

there's some really interesting and different methods here, thanks for sharing! ❤

Hi Mimi, thank you again for sharing my journey through Instagram for selling my products 🥰 I hope it will help other artists

Thank you for sharing practical tips on how to monetize an art business. It’s easy to feel that it’s my skill alone standing between me and work as an artist, but if I’m not being strategic and developing a plan I can’t know for sure.

I just looked up your course on Skillshare and bookmarked! Definitely gonna take your class 😊❤

[Happylittlepup]

This great video sparked another question, how do you go about safely receiving payment?

[lyftystudio]

Hi mimi! I was wondering, could you make a video about your editing? I really love it and it's so inspiring and cozy!

[heirloomrosesbook]

Great video, Mimi! Do you have any videos that show beginners how to create digital downloads (prints, wallpapers, etc)?

[lisah]

Very insightful. I'll check out your skillshare class. Since you're Australia based like myself, can I ask whether your preferred platform is etsy or do you use a different selling platform? Thankful for your advice 😊

hello , how did you make the nice animation at 2:36 ? what's the software ?

[fuzzydragons]

I just post art and random photos on instagram, trying to make money off of it seems like too much extra work on top of everything else lol

[rivenharlow]

Just an FYI, but if you MESSAGE me to tell me about your commissions instead of replying to a comment... I'm going to immediately unfollow or even block you. That's intrusive and pushy.

Hello sister thank you so much 😊🙏, I just want to ask you about how to sell phisical wall art on Instagram (I don't have a shop yet ) I want to sell directly on Instagram I hope you give me an advice and thank you ^^
