Get your name out there (2)

Balance 16x24 *AoC $1000

Invest in yourself, get a website!

I cannot stress this enough, galleries and clients are starting to ask for your website link. Have one to email to them. Buy your own domain name, it looks more professional. Join every free website you can find. Create a blog with your thoughts about art and your work.

Have several portfolios: One with an inventory of all your work One for your car One to present at shows or exhibitions One to take to galleries. Put digital images on your PDA, IPod or IPhone to show to anyone who may ask, 'What kind of work do you do?' If you have a PDA with zap technology create a business card that you can easily zap to someone’s PDA when asked. Post Cards and Business Cards are old school but have them anyway. I use post card size business cards also because they don’t get lost quickly. Put an image on the back, name, buzzword about your art, website, email, blog, telephone, and fax on the front. Put the same information on a regular size business card Carry about a dozen postcards with you all the time and several regular business cards for backup Put your name on every piece of correspondence including your email, use the same format all the time on everything.

*AoC means Acrylic on Canvas
