So I found this site with a list of "50 sites to promote your website", and at first I was all like, 'yea, sure, a bunch of sites that just collect your data but don't do anything with it'.... but as I skimmed it (skipping over MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and other well-known self-promo sites), I came across some sites that actually seemed worth my time, as an artist and crafter and small-business.

Originally, I was simply going to share these links on my FB business page, but quickly realized that I had a lot more to say than would fit in the 'comment' section of each posting... So I've decided to post them once a week to my blog, so that I can give each site a thorough description as well as my take on how this site will help us out, as crafters and artists.

 

The first in the series is already up, and it appears I will be posting new ones each Saturday morning....

~Getting Out There~ Part 1: Directories

Have a gander, follow along, leave comments if you feel compelled to.... And as new posts are made on my blog, I will add their links here as well.

Sounds interesting.  Looking forward to the next one.  Thanks!

This will be great. I always love when people share the informative & helpful information they find. Looking forward to seeing all the new places we can go to help us all out!

Thanks for the info! Looking forward to more.

Ever heard of CraftJuice? Come learn about it in this week's post....

I was a little slow in getting the next part up, but you can go see it now! Have you considered Galleries for your works of art? Read the post and think about it....
Don't forget FineArtAmerica and ImageKind for galleries that sell, and I really have to say that for indie/craft communities, TheSwitchboards is awesome.

I hadn't heard of any of those, thanks! I'll look into them and do a second post on the subject.

 

I LOVE THIS!    I've been away from the wonders of the computer-world for several weeks, and aching to get back here to Z-world and Z-family.   Just read all of your "parts" and what a fabulous resource you have created.....I can't wait to put all of this wonderful knowledge to work for Grandmother's House!    Thanks SO MUCH, Sunfire, for the thought and caring that went into this series!
