    Discover how Domestika's free resource Reality Check helps you evaluate your personal brand and improve your self-promotion strategy.. In any creative professional's career, self-promotion is key. Many illustrators, designers, photographers and creatives in general face blocks, doubts or lack of direction when it comes to communicating their work. It is not enough to have talent; it is also necessary to know how to show it strategically. To help you take this step, Domestika offers a free resource called Reality Check, specifically designed to analyze your professional situation and refocus your self-promotion strategy. This practical exercise not only helps you sell your work, but connect with your creative purpose and strengthen your professional presence. What is the Reality Check and why you need it. The Reality Check is a practical exercise designed to reflect on your personal brand, your goals and your methods of self-promotion. Unlike other tools focused solely on sales, this resource focuses on getting to know yourself and your work, identifying areas for improvement and opportunities for growth. It is especially useful for: Illustrators looking to highlight their unique style. Designers who want to attract projects aligned with their vision. Photographers looking for visibility and suitable clients. Any creative professional who wants to improve their presence and job opportunities. What you'll find in this free resource The Reality Check includes: Self-assessment questions and exercises that invite you to reflect on your career. Spaces to analyze strengths, weaknesses and opportunities. Practical tips to redefine your professional focus. Downloadable format to use as a guide for personal and creative growth. By completing these exercises, you will be able to identify patterns in your self-promotion, recognize what works and what doesn't, and plan concrete actions to improve your strategy. How to use it step by step. 1. Download the document from Domestika's website. 2. Take time to answer honestly each question, without rushing. 3. Identify patterns and areas for improvement that you can address immediately. 4. Use the results as a starting point to adjust your self-promotion strategy and boost your visibility. With this approach, the Reality Check becomes a true professional growth map, useful for both beginners and experienced creatives looking for new opportunities. From resource to complete course If you want to go even deeper, you can explore the "Self-Promotion Techniques for Creatives" course. This course expands on the ideas in Reality Check, offering: - Tools to improve your portfolio and visual communication. - Professional positioning strategies to stand out in your industry. - Practical methods to attract clients and projects aligned with your style and purpose. Self-promotion is not ego; it is strategy. Taking the time to reflect on your work and plan your communication is a fundamental step to grow professionally. The first step to stand out is to know yourself, and the Reality Check is the perfect tool to begin this journey.
