Hi! To sell my artwork (math-based acrylic paintings and giclee prints), I already set up (1) a website, (2) an Etsy shop, and (3) a YouTube channel. My website links to my Etsy shop. And, my YouTube channel links to my website. The next step is to promote the website/Etsy shop. I am considering either (1) advertising the shop within Etzy (promoted listings) or (2) advertising the channel within YouTube. Have any of you done either one? Or do you have any other suggestions? Your comments are greatly appreciated. Doctor T
My wife's experience with their paid advertising was not all that great. She gets more leads from facebook.
Why don`t you try Instagram to post pictures of your artwork? I believe it is very reasonable. What about the YouTube channel - it won`t bring any traffic until you get a couple thousand of subscribers on your channel.
Using Instagram and Twitter should be an effective combo since your business entails art. Pinterest is also a good alternative... To answer your question, YouTube is okay if you can make short videos about your art that can be shared on other social media
Dear Quikad, Thank you for your reply. I am planning to set up a FaceBook page. How does one get leads in Facebook? Doctor T
Dear UniHost, Thank you for your reply. Are you suggesting to advertise in Instagram? I didn't kow one can do that. Doctor T
To begin with, you can create a new profile there and post a few photos of your artwork per day But don`t forget to: Use the right hashtags Use the right filters Post at the right time Later, you can start using sponsored posts and product reviews or steal your competitor`s followers.
Build Pinterest, Twitter, and Instagram pages. Then promote your youtube videos with your socials and vice versa.
