thanks Leah. And thanks for being there. I see now that it is time for me to add a line item to my budget: Wife. No, I don’t really mean that but, I do mean a line that is: Someone who is devoted to my success and is connected to my work in a way that promoting it will be second nature. I’m excited about this budget line:) Thanks for reminding me that I don’t have to do it all and there are people like you out there to help!

Hi Susan, It sounds like your husband is wonderful and very supportive in many ways. It just so happens that I do something professionally that compliments my husband’s business, so it works out well. But I figured I could share some of that experience with other artists as well, thus the videos. Thanks for your nice comments, and all the best!

That’s a good hook for a business card to draw people in to actually check out the website. I know I collect a stack of business cards at events and almost never check out any of them at home. If you’re handing business cards and you want at least a longterm visitor, make a lasting impression so people are curious enough about you to check out your work. Listen to your audience and mention one aspect of your work that relates to their specific interests. Otherwise your card gets used at other events to scribble down notes of other businesses!

Leah – great post!
With the help of Leah’s videos I have built the website that I have always wanted. There is still lots to do on it but I have received many kudos from customers, galleries and fellow wood turners.
Her videos dramatically reduce the learning curve and make creating a great site fun and rewarding.
She is also right in that the website has to be supported by sound marketing. Some things are as simple as making sure that your website is on every email you send.

Like Alyson, I don’t like to complain. Or hear others complain. My ancestral peoples are good puritans who pull up their boot straps and get the show on the road. However, since I live in the world and am human and Lo! there are other humans around me, sometimes complaining happens. When I read your bio Leah, my complaining mind screamed “Where is my WIFE!?” I have a terriffic husband. He’s my soul mate and does all kinds of things like kiss me on the forehead and cut my kiln wood with the chainsaw and pour a glass a wine for me. And make me laugh endlessly. Oh and on account of him we have great health insurance!
Thanks Leah for sharing. And for helping us get the show on the road.
