Email promotion:

Do not miss any chance to collect emails of prospective buyers. Any time a prospect mails you showing interest in your art work, make sure to add him/her to your address book. Also, collect email addresses while displaying your work at various shows. Once you have a sizeable email database, all it takes to announce sale of your new paintings, upcoming shows etc is just a simple email !!! Search Engines:

Getting listed in search engines enormously increases your web presence. For example, you can submit your web site at yahoo under “Arts” category at http://dir.yahoo.com.

Spend a little time (atleast 15-20 minutes) everyday promoting yourself and your work. If you do it regularly, you will notice that it’ll become effortless and be very effective.

3. The secret to promoting your affiliate product is to promote it via your autoresponder. Since you have written an article about what you are selling, you will have prospect looking for more information. If you wrote an article on dog training, write something like, “For more free tips on training your dog, send a blank email to info@yourautoresponderaddress.com”

4. In your autoresponder, write a series of short emails with a few tips in each email and most importantly a sentence that refers your readers to your sales product or affiliate program.

5. So, Not only have you been promoted your product for a very very low cost, cost of your autoresponder, but you have been collecting names that you can offer more related products to again and again. The names also become your list for your newsletter and joint marketing ventures with other marketers.

6. Try to write a brand new article every week or at least every 2 weeks, and continue sending it to your list and article directories, and continue posting in forums. In no time you will have a nice list built. And this is all without your own website!
