I have taken several of your classes and follow all of your advice and came OH SO CLOSE to signing up for the class you are giving now. I have had a lot of success right out of the box without doing a bunch of promotions. My studio space is under construction and will be done in a month. I have been doing my art in my dining room and kitchen in the meantime. I am preparing to launch my work and business and want some things in place and worked out to be ready. After reading all of these comments, I will add a blog to my new website which is almost done. I will be able to do a weekly blog and enjoy it. My website will have an email list sign up link and I have created my MailChimp account and am putting my email lists into that as we speak. I have never emailed my people so I feel funny starting – thank you for the sample letters you sent a month ago. I will be back in classes with you soon. Redoing my home and studio has been a part time job in and of itself!

Having just recently set up my blog and a facebook fan page, I’m still struggling to get traffic to either. With the little experience that I have with facebook, I completely agree that the blog is absolutely essential to the control of your content. Thanks for a great article.

In reply to Beth Parker.

Beth, after having done this recently, I’ve found that straggling friends are still drifting in from my invite a few weeks ago. Some just take longer than others. Keep the faith!

I try to post on the blog 1-2x/week. When I do, I’ll always put the image up on FB page, and sometimes add a teaser link back to the blog post (if it’s a ‘meaty’ one).
I haven’t linked an auto feed to the blog because I’d rather folks read the post on the blog and not on FB. Turns out that FB does ok for me to keep a catalog of all my painting images.

I enjoy the freedom to design my posts on my blog as I want to – guess I like to be in control.
A Facebook Fan page is a useful way to grow visitors to both blog and website, as long as you don’t rely too much on FB – as you say it changes things at will.

I definitely agree! You should not rely on Facebook as your sole marketing. there is nothing unique about it… It doesn’t represent YOU.
