Improve Your Internet Sales
If you already have a web site and a blog that compliments your site you will receive emails from people that are interested in your work. Unfortunately you will get some rubbish from spammers looking for back links to their sites. This is par for the course and something that you will have to put up with, but there is software available that can help control spam. The majority of your email will be from people that are interested in what you are doing. You will be asked about your work, how you work, what materials do you use. You will even be asked to look at other artists work and comment on it. These people are genuine and you should always answer them. Some of these people will eventually purchase from you, and others will tell others what a nice helpful person you are. All good PR.
If you come over as an interesting and helpful person you will develop new fans that keep coming back to your site. This is what you need, and to cultivate new fans and to keep them returning you need to keep your site up to date. If your new hard earned followers come back to your site and find it exactly as it was last time they will not return in the future. This means constantly adding new articles, sketches etc. Anything notable or exciting that happens in your art world put it on line at your site, blog or social sites that you may be a member of. Find other blogs in your niche that may cover your art. Blogs in particular are always on the lookout for new content.
Keeping your art sites and art blogs up to date is one of the easiest, but one of the most important techniques in cultivating interest in your art. Time spent updating is definitely time well spent and, like everything else, the more you do it the better you will get at it, and this will add more interest to your web presence. Treat your visitors well and you will find your reputation improving which will bring more potential buyers to your site.
