How long does it take you to create an Instagram post Reader?

Did you just audibly groan and think “ugh, waaaaay too long 😭”?

Makes sense when you’ve gotta:

  • Think about what the heck to post in the first place (usually pulling something out of your ass)
  • Click around in Canva forever to find a template for your carousel slides or Reel cover (and then fuck around for even longer choosing fonts and colours and random graphics)
  • Scroll through your phone for hours looking for a photo or video or SOMETHING that will work (and probably get distracted by the screenshots of inspiration you’ve had in there for years)
  • Then figure out what to SAY in the caption (and how to write it in a way that doesn’t sound like a robot or an icky influencer when all you really wanna say is “PLEASE BUY MY ART!”)

And at the end of all that, you’ve got ONE single post that feels meh, and you’re not even sure if its gonna WORK. Will people like it? Comment? Click through and actually buy something?!

Okay, I’m gonna stop retraumatising you now, and tell you how we can stop this once and for all.

This is all taking SO long, because you don’t have systems.

Systems that make creating content easier, faster, and (don’t panic) actually enjoyable.

Those systems are:

  1. An organised library of assets that you can easily search and grab what you need in seconds, not hours.
  2. On-brand, plug-and-play templates set up, so you can quit faffing with the design and focus on the actual content
  3. An actual plan for launching and promoting your work so you can stop pulling post ideas out of your ass every day and start planning intentional content that sells your art.
  4. Dedicated time to batch your marketing so you don’t have to scramble every goddam day, but can actually get ahead, have content scheduled, and spend more of your time on the work you want to do

Sound good?!

Well whether these are new ideas to you, or they’ve been sitting on your to-do list for months, what you need is time to sit down and actually set them up, right?

So that’s exactly what we’re going to do in the Content Systems Sprint.

This is a series of four, live, hands-on workshops over one month designed to help you finally set up the systems that will help you easily create content, grow your audience, and sell your work:

  1. Build your content vault
  2. Set up your templates
  3. Batch your content
  4. Plan your next launch

And this isn’t sitting down and listening to me talk for an hour and then having to figure out when the hell you’re gonna have time to implement what you’ve learnt.

Nope. This is like 5 minutes of intro to guide you on what to do, and then 55 minutes of hands on, dedicated time alongside your fellow creatives to make these things happen.

PLUS, you can ask questions, see how your fellow creatives are doing it, get advice, and grab the motivation you’ve been needing to set all this up.

I just know how INCREDIBLE you’re gonna feel after each one, knowing you’ve finally set up systems to help you with your marketing, and how much easier its going to be to create content and grow your creative business.

And our members are already excited!
