Just sharing the info we each have will be of great benefit. We can help each other find the missing pieces of OUR marketing and sales puzzle as we each hold some that others don’t have.
For instance, a comment above is regarding Art Licensing. The best source for info and help with that is Tara Reed of ArtLicensingInfo.com and http://www.ArtLicensingCommunity.com . She has been in the business for many years, is EXTREMELY successful and brings many experts in the field together to help artist build their art licensing business.
I personally am interested in reaching the target market; getting those people TO my products (keywords, links, etc…); and converting them to purchasers and collectors. Also, organizing myself, my art, my files, etc… Sometimes things seem to be such a jumble it’s hard to get to work. When you work alone, everything you have to do to run an art business seems overwhelming.

That’d be great Lori, and I do that with many of the readers of this site. Blogging is a definite community builder.

Do you think a good way of building a strong community would be to follow the blogs of the people who follow your blog?

I think this is a great idea. I’d love you to outline how to use social networking to increase exposure and sell art. Things like blogging vs Facebook fan site and how to use each effectively…

I do know what you mean, Mike. I’m planning on encouraging each artist to share their goals and help each other reach those goals. I participate in a mastermind group that meets every two weeks, and it’s one of the best things that I do for my business.

I was just thinking about the possibility of using the community aspect to encourage accountability towards each participant’s goals. Know what I mean?
