Great information as always Alyson. I had never used the ‘interest’ section and am looking forward to some new results. Thank you.

This is really interesting.

I like FB and use it to market myself, but the thing is, it’s not for everyone. However, if you don’t do FB, what other things do you do to market yourself online? I have friends who prefer pintrest and they have told me that works better for them. I like FB and will incorporate these tips. But everyone is different.

However, whether you do FB or something else – if you are not spending any time marketing yourself online you are doing yourself a disservice, at least if you want to be able to earn a living as an artist. You need to make those connections.

What’s frustrating about it, Carter?

This is super frustrating. Is this something that other networks do or just facebook? I like your blog a lot.

Alyson: I do see that is not about direct marketing, but in my humble opinion, I do see anything that is an attempt to networking on FB that isn’t just personal related as a form of indirect marketing.

I love Claudia’s idea about how she runs her profile page. I think that’s what I’m going to do. excellent! thanks for sharing. I did create a list called “All things Art – Vermont” so I hope this helps our local folks, but I did include a few “national” pages too where I felt it might be useful. We’ll see!

Thanks for the information which you explain so clearly; it’s a brilliant idea which I will be looking into but first I need to do some work on my personal page to sort who can see what etc.

Thank you, Alyson, this is very helpful. Now I’m thinking that I need to know more about my audience and my potential audience, and what interests and lists I should select for greater visibility. My bread and butter is portraits of children and animals. I can easily imagine pet-related interest lists but the decision to commission a portrait of a person is a little more complex, I think. That seems to be a sentimental decision based on life events like birth, death, illness, etc. Any thoughts about targeting an audience for portraits? Perhaps it’s just a matter of increasing my general visibility as an artist?
