Blogging 101 for Artists & Designers

I happened along a great article today, thanks to one of my fellow Etstians. The subject is how to use your blog to promote yourself as an artist by Michael Marine, on his blog: Remarkablogger. Martine states--it’s not the object you’re selling at the end of the day… it’s the stories behind the object. It's one thing to smack up a photo of a finished design, but it's also important along the way.

You may think that documenting your work might make the process a bit more tedious, but in reality it doesn't at all. It's just one extra step. It's so easy to take a digital image and upload it within minutes. When I think back to the days of carting around my cumbersome 35mm camera, and spending a fortune on processing photos that I hoped would come out to my liking. All of that is now a thing of the past. So when you think of it from this perspective, it's easier than ever to document your work. All you have to do is keep your camera permanently attached to your hip....better yet, why not make it into a pretty necklace so it's always on the ready :)

Why not add that extra bit of value and give what your readers are hungry for?
