In this post, I share 30 effective call to action (CTA) examples that you can implement on your artist website and/or social media to encourage your visitors to interact with your brand in the way you want, whether that is to purchase your product or find out more about your services.

Squarespace and Wix are both great website builder platforms, but they also stack up very differently based on where you currently are in your business, and where you might want to take it in the future. In this infographic post, I’m going to share a snapshot comparison of both website builders, so you can identify some of the features that are important to you at a glance.

I used to build client sites on other platforms, and now I only build sites using this design-driven, user-friendly, performance-focused solution. Here are the reasons I recommend Squarespace as a preferred solution for creative entrepreneurs who operate in visual-first industries.

One of the questions I get asked most is “which website builder is best?” The answer to that question is “it depends.” There are a lot of options on the market, so it really boils down to what kind of features and functionality you’re looking for, as well as your degree of comfort with the tech side of things. Both Squarespace and Wordpress offer powerful solutions, so I’ve created an infographic for comparison.

Every now and then, I’ll hop on to Twitter to see what’s happening, and yesterday I noticed that #DeleteFacebook was trending. We’ve all seen those calls to delete social media, which seem to come and go mostly, but not always, around concerns about data privacy. I don’t judge others for signing off or deleting their accounts (I’ve felt that way at some point myself), but I also see the value so many of these tech companies provide. As someone who has a pretty good understanding of the media industry, this is what I can tell you: both sides of the argument are valid.

We all know how important list-building can be to a creative business. Give your new site visitors a reason to become an email subscriber. Implement one or more of these opt-in ideas to start building new leads for your business today.
