Get your Etsy on and Favorite, Follow, Review and Support Starving Artists!
The process of getting your paintings "out there" is certainly a challenge and basically a full time job. There are all of the social sites you MUST be on and learning everything you possibly can about EACH relevant site so that your artwork on canvas can be seen. And then all the Art gallery type sites, with all of their various features that must all be learned and managed. Like I said, Full Time Job. And most artists just want time to slap some paint around!
A few of my paintings you may have already seen posted in this blog:
I heard a suggestion today to have your friends go to your Etsy site and doing a keyword specific search for your artwork site and clicking ONLY on your item for sale. Then to spend about 5 minutes or so looking around, clicking and doing what you do on other similar sites from liking and favoriting to commenting. The reason for this is so that your listing will rank better.
In Marketing, there is a time to ask for the sale and in this case it is where do you go to do that, or LIKE that?
Here is my Etsy Shop and a couple other links which I am still sorting out but I have my paintings posted that are for sale. Give it a visit and Favorite, Follow, Comment, Review, Share, Tweet, Pin, send smoke signals - your help would be much appreciated. Of course, your name will pop up so I will KNOW what you did last week (movie reference)...love the stat features on Etsy BTW.
This Donnascavepainting blog is still where I originate and first post my paintings for sale and here you may get to know me, the artist, a little better, read about my thoughts that may have been going on when painting a canvas, or the crazy thought that occurs when you have to name said artwork.
