A goal I have is to give more (at least 4 in 2016) presentations/lectures/talks.

Also, this list is great…I think I’m all over the place as to which categoty of things I’m doing…I’m hesitant to say I’m mod-carreer but I see it as a reasonable goal in the next couple years…thanks for this

Hi Alyson,
Whew! I found you at just the right time! My assistant is coming over today to review with me my business goals for 2016 including a marketing calendar. This is so helpful. I am inbetween mid-career and established artist. I am a full-time artist going on my 10th year. My sales were better than ever in 2015 and I really need a plan to continue with the momentum. I would love to work with you. Thanks, Anne

Have you tried Evernote. You can save full pages, bits and pieces or whatever you want. It is like a giant, searchable filing cabinet and with ad dons you can clip directly from the web…and it’s free.

Wonderful list Alyson. I was gratified I find I’ve accomplished most of the Beginner steps and am on to Mid-Career. I would love to teach but my medium is so specialized, I’m not sure how to market it.

Wow, great reference! The things I can cross off are all over the place. Some are not applicable to everyone but this is still really thought provoking. Starting locally did not work for me but because I already had a blog presence, online exposure did work and I got attention from the people I wanted. I have representation in larger cities and an upcoming feature in a national magazine. I am moving to a larger city with a great arts scene so I can keep up the momentum.
I wish I had started the email list earlier!
