I work with and work amongst a lot of artists. Most of them are artists that are involved (or becoming involved) in commercial ventures for selling their art.
Of this group there is a subgroup always on the lookout for help in selling their wares. Although this Top 10 list can apply to anything from direct selling to gallery sales (to a certain degree) the following links to blog posts I’ve authored has its strongest emphasis on helping artists who sell online and more particularly via POD (Print on Demand) avenues.
Number 10: Conversion, prospects, suspects, and coffee.
Number 9: You need a marketing calendar. Oh yes… you do!
Number 8: Generating Publicity – think outside the box.
Number 7: Stronger Designs.
Number 6: If it works – don’t do it?
Number 5: Features vs. Benefits.
Number 4: Keying & Tracking.
Number 3: Press Releases.
Number 2: Pricepoints.
Number 1: Designing for Presentation.
I hope you find this list helpful!
I’m doing an interview with a web-based business broadcasting site. I’ll post (or link) to the video here as soon as possible depending on their terms. We did a half-hour on the general work-from-home topic and are ramping up at 4pm to discuss a bit about the tshirt-selling business.
