Finding Community on Facebook with Groups

Facebook as a social network is all about community, but there are many different ways to connect with people on this channel. We've already talked about Pages and the importance of separating your personal and professional presence to represent your creative brand. Pages are an excellent way to keep Fans informed. But what should you do if you want deeper conversation and community? How about a Facebook Group.

Networking Matters, Even for Artists

Talent and Vision are important to the success of any Artist, but as with many other industries, don't forget the value of Who You Know (and Who Knows You). Its pretty common to hear that most artists are introverts and prefer not to hob knob with each other or potential buyers. Whether or not that is true, I think we can all agree that you need to connect with people to share your art with the world. The Internet has made it easier to get your art in front of your audience, but if no one knows you, no one will share and you are the only one who gets to enjoy each piece. Networking and building relationships can help further any artist's career, and here's how to make the most of it. The goal is to seek as much positive influence as possible so you foster your creative spirit and success.
