Ask About SEO for Artists Call was a Huge Success in Spite of Some Technical Challenges!

“Please be patient – we are experiencing technical difficulties…” that was one theme last night but it didn’t stop the wonderful and understanding artists that were on the line for the Ask About SEO for Artists call!  We got through the call but decided to re-record today for clarity.

Of course the technical difficulties persisted as the follow-up email went out before I wanted it to (don’t ask!) so I apologize if you get 2 of those as well.  Hopefully all the technical issues will be done in this 24 hours and it will be smooth sailing for a while!

Here is what we covered -

  • What is SEO?
  • Can I optimize SEO if I didn’t create my own website?
  • 3 key aspects to help your website rank well in search engines
  • Are the “Buzz Words” (keywords) the most important part of optimizing your website?
  • How to choose keywords.
  • How do you optimize for more than 1 or 2 keywords?
  • How are blogs searched and what part of the blog (title, text, etc) is most important for SEO?
  • How to get links to your blog and why all links aren’t created equal.
  • Can you optimize for store sites like Zazzle and CaféPress?
  • How do I stand out from others using the same keywords or terms?
  • If I’m revamping my art and website, what steps should I take to optimize the site for search engines?

The system that was the basis for the free call is “The Artist SEO System” by Daniel Tardent.

If you’re like many, you might still be thinking about buying this guide in 12 months – and think of all the website traffic you will have missed. Grab the opportunity now and make your website do it’s job and help your career!

This product is never discounted because it is high-value & very targeted towards the unique needs of artists. If it was focused on regular small business it would cost $500 or more.

The Artist SEO System is $97, a great investment if you want to maximize the value of your website.  I have a lot of SEO knowledge and still found things to help me improve my site SEO even more.  I highly recommend you consider this…

P.S.  During the call, we promised to give you two things:  my “5 Tips to get Links to Your Website ” and the link to the GOOGLE KEYWORD RESEARCH TOOL.

Is Your Art Brand Helping You Grow Your Art Licensing Business?

A brand is more than a name, a logo and a business card.

Branding affects Art Licensing in multiple ways and it is important to know how this works. Building your brand can be as important as creating your art in order to stand out from the crowd. What makes you different than every other artist with a pencil or paintbrush? A well-crafted branding strategy can help convey your message while you are busy in your studio – providing you know what you are doing.

Branding is how you define yourself to your customers.

If you can successfully do this in a positive way you are on the road to success. Building a brand that will go the distance means more than picking a font and creating a logo. First, you need to analyze your art and how you run your business.

Paul Brent knows branding and will be sharing his tips and insights in a 60 minute teleseminar on Wednesday, February 24th at 5:30 pm PST / 8:30 pm EST.  For $57 you will get a lot of knowledge and skills to build or improve your art brand.

What are you waiting for?

I hope we talk to you next week! (I’ll be facilitating the call.)
