Why Artists and Photographers Need Help Online.
Why do Artists and Photographers need to be online at all?
You could ask that of any business….but wait…
Are artists and photographers businesses?
Creative people find it hard to think of themselves as a business. I get it. As a creative multi potential it sort of kills the vibe… RIGHT?
But if you want your passion to support you…as in feed, clothe and house you at the very least, then it has to pay its way. Of course many artists and photographers have a day job and create images as a hobby. And because of this, many of them find life doesn’t satisfy them, they find their creative juices ebbing away…sometimes to nothing.
Yet taking the plunge into making your art and photography a full time business is just as frustrating and energy sapping.
Gallery’s take a big chunk of your revenue…if you can even get into one. Walking the streets looking for cafe’s to display your work is a task and a half, so the internet makes sense. After all there are so many places to sell online. Etsy, Folksy, Not On The High Street, and lots of online art galleries. All take a commission, but it’s not as much as a high street gallery.
What you don’t realise though, when starting out, is how much work it takes to succeed online. You have to do ALL of your own marketing and publicity. The social media side alone is a full time job….because you need to know how it works or you end up talking to thin air.
Selling online eats into the time you have to produce what you want to sell. Just because you are on Etsy, for instance, doesn’t mean your work will sell. Your competition is HUGE. Etsy has realms of videos and posts about how to be successful, but, you guessed it, it’s another full time job.
We know this as we have been their ourselves. So we are constantly looking at ways to help creative people succeed online. One problem a lot of artists and photographers have no one place to send someone that has every way to buy and connect. We call this a landing page, but our V.I.P. Membership landing page includes so much more.
It’s eye catching, incorporating your brand and logos, all your social media links, all the places you sell your work online, AND, most importantly, your images. It has an ABOUT section, and can have reviews too.
It’s the next best thing to having your own website, and the page URL includes your name! You can see an example of a page here, but we can create a bespoke page to suit you. (We also keep it updated.)
And we don’t charge commission, just £20 per month (that’s about $27 US dollars.)
But that’s not all. You also get discounts on Media Pudding Services and we share your art, events, news, across all of our Social Media platforms…that’s quite a reach!
Why wait? Christmas is fast approaching. People love to support local creative businesses. You can have your page up and running in three days.
