Begin collecting subscribers (even without a website) and send your first newsletter—like the pro you’re becoming.
You’re painting. You’re posting. You’re pouring yourself into the work. But when it comes to actually staying in touch with your people? You’re... still hoping the Instagram algorithm is feeling generous today.
Maybe you’ve been meaning to start an email list, only to talk yourself out of it because of all the tech scaries. Perhaps you’re just tired of wondering what would happen if your Instagram vanished tomorrow. (Mine did. It’s a thing.)
This is the part where all that gets easier.

MADE JUST FOR ARTISTS
This was created for real artists by someone who has sold their art and helps artists market their artwork online. It takes into account the nuances of selling art online. Selling artwork online’s not for the faint of heart, it takes as much courage as it does strategy. And that’s exactly what you’ll get.
-
Absolutely. This course is designed for beginners in email marketing and/or for those new to Flodesk. If you can open a browser and follow step-by-step videos, you can do this. No jargon, no overwhelm—just clear guidance, artist to artist.
-
The whole course is about 1 hour and 40 minutes, but you definitely don’t need to finish it all before taking action. You can start collecting subscribers almost immediately—no website required. If your domain verifies quickly (which can take up to 48 hours), you can even send your first newsletter the same day. Or, binge-watch now and come back to each step as you’re ready.
Your pace, your rules.
-
Nope. One of the best parts of this course is that you can start collecting emails without a website. You’ll get a beautifully pre-designed full-page form that you can share as a standalone link. Perfect for your Instagram bio, texts, DMs, or even with a QR code at your next art fair.
-
You don’t need to be. This course was built specifically for artists who would rather paint than poke around their computer. Everything is broken down into short, step-by-step videos with clear directions.
Think: tech made friendly.
-
Perfect. This course will help you finally use it. You’ll learn how to set things up the right way, plus you’ll get access to design-forward templates you can customize and send right away.
-
To actually send emails through Flodesk, yes—you’ll need a paid plan. The course walks you through that step, and you’ll get 50% off your first year using my code: MARIANADURSTSTUDIO. FYI, I do get a small kickback when you use my link (at no extra cost to you).
You’ll also need a custom domain and a matching email address (like hello@yourname.com) to stay compliant with email marketing laws.
Don’t worry—I walk you through exactly how to set that up, even if tech isn’t your thing. It’s easier than it sounds, promise.
A domain can cost anywhere from $3-$20 per year, and hosting your email can be free with software like Zoho mail.
-
You’ll get access to short and clear video lessons, a customizable full-page email signup form (even if you don’t have a website), and a beautifully designed newsletter template you can plug your content into and hit send. The goal? Get you emailing your audience in a single afternoon.
