Ginny Wan Reviews 32

Ginny and her coaching program have truly transformed my understanding and approach. Through this in-depth program, I've gained significant insights not just in digital marketing, but also in discovering more about my identity as an artist and understanding the dynamics of the art market. I have unearthed unforeseen resources and laid the groundwork for my art business. I am genuinely thankful for this experience.

I cannot express how grateful I am to Ginny and her coaching program. I have learned so much, not only about digital marketing, but also about myself as an artist and about the art market. I have discovered unexpected tools and built the foundations of my art business thanks to this comprehensive program.

I’ve purchased several courses from Surreal Digital Academy, and I can honestly say every single one has been packed with value. Ginny, the founder, really knows her craft and it shows in the way she teaches—clear, practical, and straight to the point.

The content isn’t just theory; it’s actionable and designed to help you actually get results. I always walk away with new insights and strategies I can apply right away. It’s rare to find courses that consistently deliver this level of quality, but Surreal Digital Academy does just that.

If you’re looking for training that combines deep knowledge with real-world application, I can’t recommend them enough.

Surreal Digital are, quite frankly, amazing. The wealth of knowledge shared in all of their online offerings is way beyond what you’d expect and beyond what I have seen from any other company. Literally everything they put out is thoroughly thought out, backed by research and done with honesty. I think they’re a rare find and if you’re hesitating- don’t. For anyone willing to put in the work they are an absolute gem.

Really informative. Quite a game changer.

Surreal Digital has been an invaluable resource for me as an artist navigating the online space. I’ve been receiving their newsletter for a while now, and the insights they share are always thorough, practical, and full of valuable advice. It’s not just generic marketing tips—it’s tailored specifically for artists, which makes a huge difference.

What I appreciate most is how they break down complex digital strategies into clear, actionable steps. Whether it’s about optimizing a website, improving email marketing, or reaching the right audience, their guidance feels relevant and achievable. It’s clear they truly understand the art world and the unique challenges artists face when selling online.

If you’re an artist looking to strengthen your online presence and attract more collectors, I’d highly recommend checking them out!

Always giving good and valuable advice, be it through courses or the free newsletter.
Great job!

I am an artist with a civic creative nonprofit and have been practicing over 32 years. I have made my living from this profession through regional in person art sales and creative contracts through my non-profit. The urge to expand and connect with a more diverse audience, a global audience, came from the demands of my practice which is contemporary abstract drawing. (There is little to no audience where I live in the Western Cakskills, NY, USA). So, I had taken a basic Surreal Digital Academy course and then over a year or so started to wonder about the advanced course. I am now completing the advanced course and happy to say, yes, it paid for itself and I have sold 2 $800 drawings online. I look forward to learning more here and highly recommend this group (esp. Ginny) as there has been NO OTHER group I've hired that has done such a comprehensive job. Be well and thank you, Tom

After completing the webinar I went for 10 private session with Ginny.She is an absolute expert and knows what she is talking about.With her help I ve improved my shop, I can now confidently send out mail campaigns and run ads.I would absolutely recommend working with her. Her feedback and suggestions were so valuable and alltogether it was a great experience!

There is so much stuff out there to "support" encourage, enable artists.. mostly dry and a bit boring. We are creatives.. why isn't that stuff presented...creatively? The name admittedly attracted me and the wording FUN. The presentation is attractive and creative. It is enjoyable to do. A bit out of the box and I had no trouble maintaining enthusiasm to work through it every day. So much so..am going to get the. next one.

Ginny is in my experience a passionate en proffensional teacher. Be prepared, because het knowlegde in theorie en practise is rich and het phase quick. Fullt worth doing the course. Just make sure you make proper time for it, so you can take the most out of it.

Thanks to Ginny and The Surreal Team, for your honesty, I'm confident to say they are trustworthy.

The course is highly inspirational, covering all aspects of marketing yourself as an artist, from organic marketing and website design to Facebook ads. I would highly recommend it whether you're just starting out or have been in the market for a longer period. It can help you learn through examples and experiment with new strategies.

I have gone through their main course and branding course, and I appreciate all the gold nuggets of wisdom around marketing art and carving out a living as an artist in our fast-paced modern world. Great examples from other artists and outside the art world. There is a lot to learn but they condense it nicely. I'm sure their tailor made services are equally valuable. Thanks for the great information to help my art career :)

I'm the painter Miquel Cazaña. When I met Ginny and the Surreal Digital Agency, I had already sold about 400 paintings on my own and I also had extensive experience in the illustration sector. However, at the age of 43, I noticed that everything was becoming increasingly difficult for me. Since a large majority of the paintings had been sold in exhibitions, it was a lot of work to set up several exhibitions a year in different places and I was not sure if as many people would come as I needed. There were a few places where I had sold a lot, but I could not exhibit in those places whenever I wanted to.

On the other hand, although I had sold quite a lot on a marketplace platform where I shared space with thousands of other artists, in general on third party internet marketplaces there are more and more artists and you are competing with tens of thousands of people. So, I used to sell online but always on third party platforms and sometimes without having the data of the clients. Between the high commission (some of them get between 35-40%), the fact that I didn't sell too often and that I sometimes didn't have customer data, my situation on the Internet was not ideal.

I had been making my own website for 20 years and updating it myself. Even though it was a good presentation, I had never achieved enough visibility to be able to sell. I didn't have an overall strategy and I didn't have a real sales funnel.

Overall, while I knew I was doing better than most artists because I had a track record, some consistency in sales and a supportive community, I wanted to have much more international reach and more appreciation in general. There was a nagging feeling that with my talent I could still go much further. I had ambition and a desire for more.

The course
From the first second I saw Ginny on the webinar I knew she was the person I had been looking for so many years. A serious person with strong values, with a solid background in digital marketing, and with experience in institutions as important as the Louvre Museum or Christie's auction house. This and her in-depth knowledge of philosophy already put her in a much more advanced position than the vast majority of marketing consultants for artists that I had seen.

The course opens up week by week, lesson by lesson, and I would not single out any one lesson over another as all parts are very important and reinforce each other. It is important to dedicate time and attention to every detail, because it is the sum of the factors that make a noticeable difference in accumulation.

There is a lot of background work behind this coaching course for artists. The work of someone who has a wide and deep experience of the world of art sales. Before you enter you sense that you are with someone with vocation and experience. Once you get in you are positively surprised to see how much this is true.

Although every transformation takes time, dedication and love, Ginny is a person who is close to you and tends to make things easy. Even in my case I have gone through a difficult family time and she has been very approachable and patient. She prefers us to do things right rather than fast. Other similar courses with launchings don't give you the time you sometimes need to integrate everything. This is not the case here, and that makes you more permeable to the transformation and makes it last longer.

After the course I notice that new horizons and new opportunities open up, that I can have a more stable international client base, taking a firm step in an expansion that isn’t going to be anecdotal or accidental, and that definitely crosses the borders of my country. And, most important of all, I now depend 100% on myself, with my own platform ready to sell, with the product at the centre of everything.

If you are an artist and you want to make a living from art on your own you need someone like Ginny by your side. And I'm going to warn you, I've looked at a lot of courses and I haven't done any of them because I knew they weren't like this one. I would say more, there are whole countries that don't have an art marketing agency (for artists) like Surreal Digital.

So, the best time to do this course was yesterday. And the second best time is today. To top it off, I find the price really affordable for all that is offered and for all the support we get from Ginny and the team.

I can't say anything but THANK YOU to Ginny and her team for taking the artists side and helping us transform our entire vision and experience with digital marketing.

Surreal Digital has been an essential part of my entrepreneurial journey as an artist. Their guidance has provided me with the necessary tools for taking those crucial initial steps in starting a business. Beyond just helping me create a website and sales funnel, their insights and expertise have been invaluable. They have demonstrated a profound understanding of the field, which has made a significant impact on my progress. Of all the courses I've taken, Surreal Digital's approach stands out as the most effective, motivating me to take action and yielding tangible results. This investment has undoubtedly been worthwhile.

As an artist specializing in multi-disciplinary work, I was seeking new avenues to showcase my art in the digital realm and to reach the right audience. The course provided valuable insights into the complexities of building an online presence, expanding my understanding in unexpected ways.

Throughout the course, Ginny's guidance, patience and expertise proved invaluable. Her thoughtful approach and knowledge helped me navigate the digital landscape with greater confidence. By exploring various strategies and concepts, I gained a deeper appreciation for the potential of online platforms in connecting artists with their audiences.

Implementing the suggestions resulted in positive outcomes. I witnessed an expansion in reach and an increase in interest surrounding my practice. Through optimizing my digital presence and leveraging different online platforms, I was able to create meaningful connections and engage with businesses and art enthusiasts resulting in an increase for commissions.

Overall, it provided me with a fresh perspective on promoting art in the digital age, challenging my preconceived notions and opening doors to new possibilities. The course offered practical insights and guidance, empowering me to navigate the ever-evolving landscape of the digital world. It was a transformative experience that broadened my horizons and allowed me to connect with a wider audience in ways I had not previously considered.

"Before I enrolled in the Surreal Digital Academy, I faced various challenges in selling my photography online. My name is Ernst Coppejans, and I specialize in photography. While collectors occasionally purchased my work, I hadn't actively promoted my art sales. A previous gallery representation experience left me disheartened – the profound meaning of my work often got lost, and I even encountered a scam. Despite my success as a photographer with great visibility in (inter-)national publications and numerous open-air exhibitions focused on significant social topics, I lacked familiarity with the nuances of online art sales and the digital landscape. I harbored doubts about how to proceed until I discovered the Surreal Digitals Art Marketing Course."

I wasn't sure how to navigate the online art market or if it was the right path for me.
The course experience was a turning point that reshaped my journey in profound ways:
Goals: My main aim was to explore the realm of online art sales and discover if it was a feasible avenue for my work.
Favorite Part: The process of learning, growth, and website building instilled confidence in me. Witnessing the various elements come together was particularly rewarding.
Aha! Moment: Learning about the potential of Facebook and Instagram marketing was truly eye-opening, revealing possibilities I had never considered.
Interaction & Support: Ginny's exceptional guidance, knowledge, and encouragement were vital. Despite the demanding nature of the course, her support was a driving force that kept me dedicated and motivated.
Post-course achievements have been promising, with the first sales emerging just 3 weeks after launching my new site and ads. The reach has extended worldwide, generating substantial interest from across the globe. This newfound success was complemented by the acquisition of essential marketing skills, including expertise in FB and email marketing.
With these accomplishments, I now stand empowered, confident, and grateful for the clear results of my dedication. This journey has shifted me from being an artist unsure about marketing my art sales to becoming a confident creator who recognizes the potential of online art marketing.

For fellow artists, I wholeheartedly endorse the Surreal Digital Academy. Many of us struggle with the sales aspect, and this course offers an avenue for learning and transformation, providing the tools and confidence to navigate the art market independently. Ginny's mentorship liberates us from gallery constraints and empowers us to take charge of our artistic paths.
In summary, this course has been my necessary evolution, offering empowerment, confidence, and independence as an artist. I'm immensely grateful for discovering this course and connecting with Ginny. It has opened up a new dimension to my work and allowed me to take control of my artistic destiny. While the journey requires dedication and determination, the invaluable results make it all worth it.
This journey was the next essential step in my career – one that empowered me and brought newfound confidence and independence.”

Excellent webinar, which despite my skepticism offered some genuine insights, just in the half hour taster I did (albeit the slightly depressing acceptance that an artist needs to double as a businesswoman). I’ll do more.

Super informative, concise, and REAL knowledge on growing your art business. Feeling soo inspired. Kudos and many thanks. Cathy - Gratitude Studios
