Rule 4081
is holistic approach to marketing yourself online as an artist.
Yes we address the myriad of tools that are out there and suggest the even more myriad of ways to make them useful. But maybe even more importantly I will write about who we are as artist within this particular society that in many cases define the decisions we make around our art and careers. I address are strengths, weakness, insecurities, excuses, hopes and processes within the context of creating the art of our business. I also delve into life, goal and career management when facilitating our marketing plans online.
If you are intersted in a comprehensive course that will help you formulate a concrete yet flexible marketing plan you may want to either follow me on Twitter or Facebook for pending information.
