It's All in the Marketing!

First of all, let me say that I love Alyson B. Stanfield's ArtBiz Newsletter and Blog. I began as a "lazy looker," but I'm determined this year to take action and "Do This..." Anyway, Alyson just finished her book, I'd rather be in the studio! The Artist's No-Excuse Guide to Self-Promotion. Alyson is marketing her book in the most creative way--a Blog Book Tour!

Claudine Hellmuth's blog was a recent Blog Tour Stop. Go there (I love Claudine's blog too!) and check out their discussion on E-newsletters.

I must confess, I haven't read Alyson's book yet, but her advice is always right on target. So, no excuse--I'm going to get her book!

3 Things I Just Did!

1 - I registered as an Etsy Seller--Beautiful Moon Studio. Now I just have to take some photos and list items to sell.

2 - I ventured into Photoshop and (with the help of an Etsy tutorial) I created a custom storefront banner. And it looks pretty cool if I do say so myself.

3 - Embolded with success, I just created a new customized banner for this blog. I had created one using MS Publisher, but I do think my new banner looks better.

Easy as 1-2-3!
