Producing a Monthly Digital Magazine with Alyson Sheldrake (ep. 199)

In this episode of The Art Biz, host Alyson Stanfield talks with author and artist Alyson Sheldrake. Every month for ten years, Alyson Sheldrake has published Snapshot!, an extensive digital magazine that promotes her work, her husband’s photography, and local businesses. The most recent edition was 128 pages! In her words, Snapshot! covers art, photography, books, reviews, events, interviews, rescue dogs, authors, and news about the beautiful Algarve in Portugal. That’s a lot of territory, and, as you’ll see, she has plenty of story ideas for future content. Writing, designing, and publishing the magazine is not a grind for Alyson. She loves doing it, referring to it as “The newsletter that thinks it’s a magazine.” It’s a comfortable way to market for her that just so happens to reach about 17,000 people with each edition. Key takeaway: through the magazine, Alyson promotes others who, in turn, help promote the magazine and her art. 📖 To read more, see images, find resources mentioned, and leave a comment, visit https://artbizsuccess.com/sheldrake-magazine ⭐️ Connect with Alyson and subscribe to her free Snapshot! magazine: https://alysonsheldrake.com 🎧 RELATED EPISODES Other artist-authors who have been my guests: Secrets from Copying a Masterpiece with Lilianne Milgrom (ep. 87) Publishing a How To Book for Artists with Carol McIntyre (ep. 37) How Two Artists Self-Published and Are Promoting a Successful Book Together (ep. 9) Beyond Comparison and Jealousy with Jason Kotecki (ep. 191) 🔶 Does your art business need a boost or a refresh?
