For artist, video is the fastest growing way to get found on the internet.

For artist, video is the fastest growing way to get found on the internet. With millions of videos available to view Day or Night Online, Videos cannot be ignored by any business, or for that matter artist. Youtube is the most popular video sharing site on the net, The One Big thing I have noticed is artist and art gets relatively few views.... its not the quality of the videos and slideshows but rather that artist don't have time to promote what they do... We just get to caught up in making art and just don't find the value of other aspects of being an artist in the modern world.. I have to admit that I'm just as guilty of this as any artist.

Making videos and slide shows is not difficult. Today online video sharing sites and tool make it easy to produce simple films in just a few minutes as well as lots of promotional tools to go with it... It is after all in the interest of sharing sites like Youtube who make revenue from the advertising space available on such sites. Video is useful for far more than just showing off what you do... Today Social Sites like Facebook and such a like are desperate for a piece of the action and are actively seeking video content, in fact almost every where video content has become prime real-estate online.

For artist, video is the fastest growing way to get found on the internet. it dose not need to be difficult just take a look at the videos i have recently done with the basic tools on my Mac and be surprised just how easy it is to put together a video that helps you to be found online and your work to been seen hopefully by millions.... 

Still Not Sure Video is for You, or for those wanting a little more information or just a good place to start why not pop over and have a quick look at  Youtube for Artist, part one an article from Artpromotivate ( a really good place for articles and information on promoting for artist ) that landed into my inbox today.

I have been busy but that's not an excuse

The last few weeks have just flown past and without even seaming to notice I just found that another week had gone by without even taking the time to check my e-mails or anything. I have so much work and material building up, but that is no excuse, not to have posted something on any of my blogs or social sites. Oh what a waste  IU chide myself.... The simple fact is that if I don't do it, it just wont get done but that is one of the benefits or drawbacks of working for yourself. Its not the lack of motivation but rater the lack of TIME... I can make all sorts of things be that paintings drawings or money but I cant make a single second and that's the killer...

Just one week away from my desk and I can see the number of visitors drop on my sites. Oh shore, I might paint a lot, "but if no one is seeing what you paint, then whats the point" says a friend... Well In my mind its not about selling its about painting, but who am I kidding it's just a flip of the coin. On the one hand you cant sell without a product and on the other you cant sell without a customer. Which brings us back to Marketing or Selling ! more accurately which came first the chicken or the egg...
