RIVER ARTS TO OFFER WORKSHOP IN ONLINE MARKETING FOR ARTISTS
On November, 19, from 6:30-8:30 pm, River Arts will host a workshop in online marketing for artists. As more and more artists develop websites to introduce their work to a world-wide online community, many lack the technical skills required to maximize the benefits of these new technologies. As part of an ongoing effort to assist artists and other groups, Darrell Bulmer and Kerstin Gilg of the Maine Arts Commission will present a two-hour workshop that demonstrates and simplifies online marketing for artists. The workshop will take place at River Arts, 170 Main Street in Damariscotta.
In our present economic climate, it is useful to know that there are many free online marketing tools that can be used for promotion and information-sharing. Some of the tools to be covered will be websites, Wikis, blogs, electronic newsletters, Facebook, twitter, YouTube, MySpace, flickr, Sitemeter, online surveys, online video creation, many Google tools including Analytics and website optimization, eBay, Photobucket, Box.net and many, many more
The workshop leaders will use clear and concise examples to demonstrate and simplify online marketing methods. There will be ample opportunity for attendees to ask questions throughout. Beginning with the basics of conventional web 1.0 usage and the workshop will progress to social networking as it relates to communications, information-sharing and other applications.
Bulmer and Gilg will show attendees how to bring the tools of their choice together to reach their personal goals, track their progress and to make simple adaptations.
Potential attendees can submit specific topics or questions for discussion one week in advance so that the presenters can tailor the session to specific needs. For reservations, questions or suggested topics, contact info@riverartsme.org. Donations are appreciated.
