PRS · The signature program

Be as good online as you are in the studio.

Most artists’ work is better than their presence. This program fixes that, one deliverable at a time, using the same process Ellis Ricketts uses to coach artists one-to-one.

Built into the campus as the Presence Builder: a guided workbook that saves each piece as you write it.

Six pieces of a professional presence

You finish the program with every one of these written, published or planned — not just understood.

  1. 01

    Your sentence

    One line that says what you make and who it's for. It becomes your headline everywhere.

    You leave with: Headline

  2. 02

    Your bios

    Short, medium and long biographies in your own voice, with every fact verifiable.

    You leave with: Three bios

  3. 03

    Your name & handle

    One professional name and one handle, used consistently, so people can find you twice.

    You leave with: Name decision

  4. 04

    Your portfolio

    Twelve strong pieces, sequenced deliberately, with case-study captions for the best of them.

    You leave with: Published portfolio

  5. 05

    Your profiles

    An audit of everywhere you appear online, then the same headline, bio and links across all of it.

    You leave with: Profile checklist

  6. 06

    Your rhythm

    A 90-day plan for sharing process, finished work and applications that fits around real life.

    You leave with: 90-day plan

The courses

Take them in order. Each is in development and opens when it’s finished.

    What the program won’t do

    • Promise followers, clients or income. It teaches the work that makes those more likely.
    • Write your bios for you. You write them; you get feedback until they sound like you.
    • Ask you to post everywhere. You'll choose the few places that matter for your discipline.

    Start with the first course: Define Your Practice.
