Artists Helping Artists: Selling Your Art On-Line with Leslie Saeta

All artists need to define their audience before they spend time marketing their art. Defining who your art audience is will help you focus on creating great content that will appeal to your buyers. Join Leslie and her co-host Margaret Sheldon as they share a step-by-step process to identify and attract your art audience.

Do Artists Need Galleries? This really is the 64 million dollar question. Should you sell your art online or through galleries? And in a perfect world can you do both? Today my cohost Margaret Sheldon and I are going to look at both sides of this issue and we think you should be very interested to hear what we have to say.

Working from home sounds great — unless your home office is a disaster. Mine is! If you recall we did an AHA show last month on 12 things you should do in 2017 (each month!) to really organize your art business. On the first show of each month we are going to go in to detail on how you can accomplish the task. January is the month to organize your office space and file folders.

On our last AHA show of 2016 we are going to feature all of our (and your) favorite things! Thanks to everyone for their input on their favorite art supplies, apps, magazines, blogs, websites, gadgets, etc. This show will be very valuable to help you plan for the new year!

It's that time of the year for goal setting. And we know it's really hard. How can you pick a few goals that are supposed to last for the whole year? What if the goals are too hard? What if they aren’t really the most important things you need to do in 2017?  So do you see why we find this goal setting task almost impossible? I think my co-host Carrie Waller and I found a way around this problem. Today's AHA show is going to change that. It's titled "Goal Setting … A 12 Month Plan to Organize Your Art Business". I think you really should listen to this show.

Today we are blessed to learn about the Nozomi Project. It's an incredible story of how a wonderful organization was created to support the local survivors of the 2011 disastrous earthquake and tsunami in Japan. Our guest is Sue Takamoto and her story is an amazing story about tragedy, hope and success.  Sue  is one of the founders of the Nozomi project which creates hand made local jewelry from the pottery remnants scattered after the tsunami. Join us for this amazing and touching story.

Today we are joined by Tim Miles and Ryan Patrick. They are from Miles & Co. which provides integrated marketing strategies for companies. Join us as they share their knowledge about marketing and communication and apply it to helping artists. Don't miss this show!

Many artists have great websites. After spending lots of time updating your website, your content is accurate and up do date. But lack of website traffic is one of the most common challenges I hear from artists. Are you struggling with getting more visitors to your site? Join me and my December co-host Carrie Waller as we share thirty-five things you can do to increase your website traffic.

Most of you have heard of Google Hangouts. But do you realize how you can use this communication app to build your art business? Join me and my co-host Margaret Sheldon as we discuss twenty ways you can use Google Hangouts in your art business. You don't want to miss this show!
