Facebook is a powerful tool for artists looking to promote and sell art online.
The most visited URL on the internet is www.google.com, the second most visited is www.facebook.com. What started as a way for students of Havard University to stay connected has grown into the second most popular site on the whole world wide web.
Facebook currently has more than 400 million active users, 50% of those users log on to Facebook in any given day, more than 35 million users update their status daily, and an average user spends more than 55 minutes per day on Facebook. (Find more stats here.) What this means for the modern day artist is that there is a community of Facebook waiting to get to know you and your art. It means when we talk about marketing and promoting your work through social media Facebook is the one place that can not be ignored. Which is why I am excited to offer a free webinar on Facebook for artists.
This webinar will cover:
- Profiles vs. Pages
- Protecting your privacy
- Setting up your page to promote you and your work
- Finding fans
- Converting Fans into Sales
- Everything in between!
There will also be time for Q&A to answer your specific question.
If you are not able to make the live broadcast the audio will be available for download shortly after the event. I’ll be making separate posts that include this download. Please drop me a note or leave a comment on what day/times would work better for your schedule. Also let me know what topics you would like to see in future webinars. I plan on doing at least one webinar a week.
The live event has already happened. See what webinars are coming next here: http://www.artpalaver.com/category/marketing-selling-art-online/art-marketing-webinars/

Great topic for a webinar!
I recently attended an art marketing talk where the speaker dismissed Facebook because it was “mostly used by teens”.

Mostly for teens!? Whoever made that claim has no business speaking about marketing on the internet. Check out this chart on Facebook’s growth: http://www.istrategylabs.com/2010/01/facebook-demographics-and-statistics-report-2010-145-growth-in-1-year/ Teens (13-17) only made up 10.4% of Facebook’s growth in 2009. Most of facebook’s growth came from 35 to 54 year olds. (29%).
