Thank you all very much. - Quarterpint I couldn’t think where all these ‘great post’ and ‘great site’ messages were coming from but I guess they are ‘tweets’! very many thanks to all who contacted us. as editor, one often wonders if there’s anybody (other than members) looking, so from my point of view, support from other artists is really appreciated.

I also think that social media is a great way for artists to find new and exciting ways to promote and market their art. I wrote a post on Facebook for Creative Entrepreneurs that might be interesting for the readers of this blog:http://kabai33.com/2009/03/12/25-facebook-tips-for-creative-entrepreneurs/ Thanks for this post.

This effect is similar in the "offline world" too, when you have a private view & exhibition you'll have a lot of other artists turning up, friends etc. and far more than actual buyers. But this only serves to help, the wider your network is the more likely that someone interested in your work will find you. e.g. a collector of a fellow artist's work may see your work and like it too. Simply, networking online is so much quicker, easier, cheaper and more efficient than traditional offline methods. Moreover month millions of Dollars/Euros/Pounds are spent online purchasing artwork, if you're not making sure your work is 'out there' you won't see any of these purchases coming your way.

I want people that want to buy art to visit my websites, not artists. And does the time involved in keeping up the Twitter, the blog, the website, etc. really bring in enough new business to make it worthwhile? If all one is reaching is other artists, then for the most part it really is a waste of time.
