A social media network formula for artists

2010 by Bill

Because we don’t own store fronts and most of us are the only peo­ple employed in our busi­ness we need to have some way that brings peo­ple to what­ever venue we sell our stuff out of

An Artist’s Social Graph

2010 by Bill

In a nut shell, social media/networking is both a com­mu­ni­ca­tions con­duit and a way to let peo­ple out in the world know you have some­thing they might be inter­ested in. It is also more than that, it is your key to build­ing trust and in turn relationships

What’s in your visibility tool bag?

2010 by Bill

Remem­ber, vis­i­bil­ity depends on com­mu­ni­ca­tions to be suc­cess­ful, and until now com­mu­ni­ca­tions tools have been extremely lim­ited and largely inef­fec­tive for small busi­nesses. Also remem­ber that com­mu­ni­ca­tions tools for small busi­nesses have mostly been one way,

The Truth about Facebook and Twitter

Uncategorized by Bill

One of favorite things to do when I’m out in pub­lic is peo­ple watch­ing, I love guess­ing the sto­ries hap­pen­ing around me, most of us do…it’s kinda hard to resist. We can’t help eaves­drop­ping on con­ver­sa­tions in pub­lic places

Sarah on rules, tradition and building community

2010 by Bill

I think almost every­thing I do would be con­sid­ered “non-traditional” by very tra­di­tional artists, but I don’t know how much of it is really “out there”. I try to see mar­ket­ing as another cre­ative out­let, where I can exper­i­ment and try new things.

Doing it for me

2010 by Sarah Lacy

I had a real­iza­tion this morning.

A really obvi­ous one actu­ally, but I can be dense sometimes.

Sarah talks about growth and influence

2010 by Bill

You know those moments when it feels like your spirit is danc­ing? When you’re almost painfully full of life and joy and every­thing in sarah_lacy_meganbetween? That. That’s what I want to cap­ture every time I put brush to can­vas. Some­times I get it across, some­times I don’t. But that’s my focus every sin­gle time.

Self Promotion Monsters

let's talk by Sarah Lacy

It kinda makes me want to throw up. Even those words – the pro­mo­tion of my self. Ick. Ew. Ugh.

And I feel so ridicu­lous for doing this. All of my per­sonal mon­sters and demons are yelling. Loudly.
