It was a year ago that I had the great fortune to find and participate in Seth Apter's Buried Treasure artist "blogfest." I know a great thing when I read it and I'm doing it again this year! Creatively and artistically correct, art bloggers get to recycle a prior post resulting in a grand feast for all. A lot to take in, digest and a wonderful way to discover new inspiration, talent and virtual community.
Repost from February 8, 2010Working the Net: A Visualization Process
Rather than getting continually flustered, frustrated and overwhelmed in my quest to learn how to effectively network and market online, I decided to visualize a new approach. A more relaxed and productive one- technically and mentally speaking. Using personal images from a past trip and 4 unsuspecting bracelets, I shall illustrate:

In my effort to grow and market my work, I want to better comprehend the networking and marketing possibilities that are out there. I just don't want to feel shattered or crack-up in the process- again mentally and technically speaking.
So what steps do I take...besides patience?

Continue to seek, research, read, apply and utilize the vast online, and APPROPRIATE resources that are available. Allow for and enjoy the learning curve. Networking and marketing decisions are not always easy nor are they always black and white. There are factors to take in consideration. For instance, these wonderful bracelets come in an array of colors, styles and textures.

I had to re-read your post (I'm Dutch) but I did understand it ... you posted about what I'm in the middle of right now... and you said such true words! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI've not visited Portland in 39 years, and I was there only a short time. We're making a trip to the coast in January, and I've put the Japanese Garden on my list of places - because of photograph number one.
