Art Marketing consultation

Thank you for all your wonderful responses to my offer to help a few Braveheard women market their art.

There has been such an overwhelming response to this, that I'm thinking of taking some of these women's concerns and putting them in to a TIPs for women artists section somewhere.

I wish I had the time to be able to help each and every one of you seperately, but as you know, being a mother, wife, grandmother etc who works full time, it can get pretty tough.

I'm also going to focus some of your issues on my Art Marketing Website. Right now, all the information on that website is purely free. Later, I'll be offering some ebooks on it.

Here's my daily TIP for the day:

Make yourself a website. Think about it. Millions of people use the internet every day. If you don't have a website, you could be missing out on potential sales.

That's not to say that you can't make a living without a website, however. If you already have your artwork represented by "brick and mortar" gallery, and you're making enough sales that way, and you're happy with that, then that's fine.

But if you would like to make more money, or you're not making enough, then an onine presence may be just what you need.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Just because you have a website, doesn't mean that people wil flock to it and start buying your artwork. No.

Now you need to attract people to it. This is called drawing "traffic" to your website.

There are many ways to draw traffic to your website, but one very usefull tool is "social media", otherwise known as social networking.

And, you thought facebook was just for kids!

There you go. Check back later for more TIPs or check out my website devoted to help artists market their art. www.artmarketsell.com.

Happy creating!
