The Art
of Self Promotion for Starving Artists
Well, if you were anything like me, you'd
have just tons of great artwork you wanted to
show the world, but you hadn't a clue as to how
you were gonna get the world to look at it, much
less buy it.
Well, I was determined to find out how this
crazy Net thing worked. I learned all on my own
with minimal investment on how to be seen
from California, USA to Tokyo, Japan. Here's your
opportunity to pick my brain and learn all of
my secrets!
Print out this article here
and you can use it like a check list!
Let's Get Started!
Web Page Basics - A list of do's and don'ts.
- DO make sure your site is compatible with
most of the browsers out there today. Make sure
Netscape and Internet Explorer users, down to
at least 4.0, can see your stuff.
- DO organize your site into separate categories.
Have a list of navigation links on EVERY page.
DO NOT cram all your paintings onto one loooong
page. People will not wait for it to download.
Separate your images into appropriate categories.
Place all your awards on one page, your links
and banners on another, your bio on another,
your web rings on another, etc.
- DO tell your visitors who you are, what
you are about, what your page is about and what
you want. Be clear, concise and to the point.
Spell check everything. Have friends and family
test it out and look it over for broken images
or misspellings. Ask them if they felt anything
was confusing to them. Just because you know
what you mean, doesn't mean everyone else does.
