Making the Transition From Classic Marketing to Virtual Marketing for Artists.

Written by Joel Balfour


So you have art you want to sell? Why not market it online? Here are a few tips on how you should proceed. You first step to creating a website should be to haverepparttar cleanest pictures you can of your art. Try using a high-resolution digital camera if possible, if not then you may want to shoot it on film, and scan it with a high-end scanner.

Classic film at this point still has a higher resolution than large format digital, butrepparttar 137899 digitization process could “cheapen” your end product. It’s your choice as a publisher. If you are looking into making film samples, or audio material as demos, then what you would want to do, is to render your files inrepparttar 137900 smallest format possible, for film I would recommend “multimedia-small 15 frames/second” as your render option, and for MP3’s I would userepparttar 137901 lowest quality possible, as to take into consideration those with Low-end computers or slower internet connections. Make your product as accessible as possible. You never know who’s looking, and from where.

You should consult with your web-designer or your search engine optimization company so that your website can be search engine optimized. The reasoning behind this, is that once you put all this work into digitizing your media, you want your website to be seen.

If you aren’t familiar with web design, I would advise hiring an art friendly web designer to help you out withrepparttar 137902 creatingrepparttar 137903 website. S/He can deal withrepparttar 137904 technical aspects of creation while you worry aboutrepparttar 137905 design. I cannot stress enoughrepparttar 137906 necessity of using an HTML editor that is search optimization friendly. Not so much forrepparttar 137907 actual design ofrepparttar 137908 website, but for everything that goes on behindrepparttar 137909 scenes.

When you’re creating a website, there are two aspects to take into consideration. Whatrepparttar 137910 viewer is seeing, and howrepparttar 137911 website relates to search engines. Although I believe whatrepparttar 137912 viewer is seeing is entirely inrepparttar 137913 hands ofrepparttar 137914 designer, and owner… howrepparttar 137915 website relates to search engines is where SEO comes in.
