The email newsletter is probably one of the oldest internet tools available for an artist to promote their art. They have been around since the invention of email. Many artists send out “email blasts” through their email client like Gmail or Hotmail. Cutting and pasting a list of emails into the “To:” box and hitting send. This is the easiest method and it is free. It is also illegal.

Yes I said illegal. You see when you send out an email like that 9 out of 10 times it does not conform to the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003. The biggest reason for non compliance is there is no easy way to opt out of the emailings. To comply with the CAN-SPAM act the professional artist will turn to an email service to handle their mass mailings.

There are a few to choose from but only 1 that I know of that lets you run a list of under 500 addresses for free, that service is MailChimp. I’ve been using MailChimp for six months now and I highly recommend it to any artist looking to have an easy to use professional email service.

That’s really all I got for you today. If you’ve been thinking about using email to market your work start with MailChimp.

No related posts.]]> In recent months I’ve heard a lot of questions from artists about Twitter. Mostly from people who are interested but do not know where to start when it comes to Twitter. And of course the question of “why would I join Twitter?” So I decided to right a little e-book to help out those who have not ventured into Twitter’s waters but are curious.

Let me say this from the get go, I am not one who will ever say “You have to be on Twitter!” I would not say that about anything. It is important to investigate tools and decide if they fit into your process as a working artist. The closest thing I have to a “have to” is a quality website. These days it is really good for people to be able to find you and your work online in a place you own all your pixels. But I digress, that is a topic for another post.

Today I’d like to introduce to to Twitter Primer for Artists:

book mock up small My Free E Book | Twitter Primer for Artists

It is a very basic book that covers the fundamentals of Twitter, from creating your account, to terminology, and finally optimizing your account. Think of it as a “getting started manual” for Twitter.

If you are someone who has been thinking about Twitter I suggest reading the book to help you decide if Twitter is right for you. Bottom line is that Twitter can help you connect with people anywhere in the world. And also Twitter is a lot of fun. If you do read it please let me know what you think. What did I miss? Was any part of it confusing? What parts did you wish I had gone more in depth with? What typos did my editor miss? How awesome is it?

And this is just the first in a series of books I will putting out over the coming weeks to help artists navigate the internet. Let me know what topic should be added to the list.
