Make Your Mark #1 – Your Own Website

by loxly on May 7, 2009

Welcome to the first edition of Make Your Mark. Today we talk about why you should have your own website to showcase your art and photography, even if you are selling online already through other companies, venues or websites.

This is a very basic podcast, if you already have a site that focuses on your art branding you might not want to listen, but if you are new and need direction, you are involved in sites like CafePress, Imagekind, Etsy or eBay, you will want to hear this.

After you listen to this podcast, I recommend you listen to:
Affiliate ABCs – Website Basics. This podcast talks about basic pages every website needs, whether you are an affiliate or an artist/photographer starting a website.

For those of you just joining us here is the intro podcast. And be sure to follow us on Twitter!

What would you like our next topic to be? Drop us a comment. Let us know if this podcast was helpful and what you need to know next. We have several planned topics, but we are flexible and want to hear what *you* have to say.

Social Media can be a powerful traffic driver, just make sure your content doesn’t just live at the Social Media sites. In Affiliate ABCs podcast #10 Debbie (a.k.a Loxly) and Vinny (a.k.a NYFalcon) explain how to use social media sites to drive traffic to your website by interacting in communities and online social settings. And it doesn’t have to take up all of your time to be effective either.

James Martell has a series of podcasts that people subscribe to, but this month he is giving one away. He and I did a Coffee Talk back in November about how to effectively use Twitter to grow your business. Today he released that Coffee Talk as part of his May Newsletter and it’s available to listen to here – If You Don’t Tweet, You Should.
