 <\/p>\n

1)\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>Create a virtual \u2018home\u2019.<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

People want to buy a bit of you. <\/em>They are looking for a connection, a story. They buy from people they trust, and from people they like.<\/span><\/p>\n

So the first task is to create an online home \u2013 a blog and\/or website – where your potential friends and fans can stop by and get to know you better. You need to interact with these visitors, and share something of value with them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

2)\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>Share your story<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Share your story and try to set yourself apart from other artists. Share the good, but also a bit of the bad. People want to know you\u2019re a real person \u2013 warts and all! Keep it real, and be yourself.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s also really important to share other people\u2019s stuff. What goes around, comes around, and sharing others\u2019 great work and ideas shows you are not only current and up to date, but also confident and comfortable in your own skin.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

3)\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>Network to get work<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Sharing is caring \u2013 and never more so than in the online world. So get actively involved in the online artist community to connect with other artists. There are dozens of great online forums out there, so start signing up and get involved.<\/span><\/p>\n

4) \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Support others<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s not just you who needs comments and links to your blog or online art gallery<\/a>\u00a0\/\u00a0website. Everyone is in the same boat and you need to give in order to receive. Set yourself a target how many comments, likes, shares, and links you can give in a day and it won\u2019t be long before you start reaping the benefits yourself.<\/span><\/p>\n
