Episode 139: How Artists Can Outsource to 3x Their Revenue
Tue Feb 03 2026
If you want to sell more art, you may need to hire freelancers before you feel ready.
Trying to do everything yourself might feel responsible, but it's often the fastest way to burn out and stall your sales. Hiring doesn't have to be a full-time team or a huge commitment. Strategic, part-time help frees you up to make the art and respond to buyers consistently.
Jodie shares how to identify where you're getting bogged down, how to track your time, what tasks to outsource first, and how to set expectations so the freelancer you hire actually helps your sales grow.
You'll take away:
Why "doing it all" makes you the bottleneck
How to fire freelancers without blowing your budget
What to outsource first to increase time, sales, and sanity
