Rehash

 I know my readers have been here before. I know because I have, and yet the solution has yet to make itself known to me…

Few artists are good at promoting, and even fewer are good at self-promotion. I fall into that category. What needs to be done to sell more of my wood working, well more of it must be presented to those that would purchase said wood work. Best way to do that, well that is a good question. A web site is one option, but a web site is only as good as the person promoting it and keeping it up to date. The same goes for other sites, Etsy, EBay, etc., they all require time spent getting items listed and following up on those listings. Like most artists, I’d rather be making items than selling items.

Where is this leading you asked? Well, I’m on the idea that there must be a better way to make this happen. I’m a small time artist so most professional promoters are not interested, there simply is not enough money in it for them. However, if I can round up enough other artists perhaps we as a unit can make it worth the person’s time and effort?

So, this is a call to all my artist friends who would like to possibly join forces. I’m not sure how much it will cost each artist, if the cost is a percentage of sales or a certain fee per month; I need to have a few people on board first to get that information. Nothing will be set until all the details are worked out of course.


If you have an interest, please let me know and we can go forward with finding a promoter and get some details on the cost and type of payment.
