It is becoming very apparent just how important social media is when it comes to selling artwork. For those who belong to Twitter, Facebook, and Flicker, creations are all a buzz everywhere. Social media has become a real life line to artist everywhere. This may seem challenging for those of us who haven't tried this let, but it is really quite fun when you set aside a hour a day to do this.

As far as web sites are concerned, you are in the right place. And here is why. Our site is at the ground floor with personal blogs included. Not only that, but we have the most important marketing tools in place. That is Google Base and Thefind. We have automatic feeds into the two most powerful market places in the world.

Abadjeo sold for a very nice price. But it didn't happen over night.  Many art sellers who are new to online commerce get very impatient when they haven't sold anything within their 30 day trial period. Selling art online takes a long time to build your, I guess I can call it, network base. Painter's Showcase (or any other site) is merely the vehicle that provides the powerful tool so the out side will find you.  It is your responsibility to get all of your linkage out there which is accomplished through your blog post here and comments on other blogs.

While networking on FB, one of my friends shared a very important link to a FREE newsletter.  It was written by  artist  Dan Turner on how to sell your art.  Titled: Dan Turner's 7 Keys to Selling Art online.  It's well written, and takes the mystery out of marketing your art online. If you have trouble downloading it let me know, I can send it to you via email.  Feel free to comment on this post....really....I encourage it.

Good Morning everyone,
