The Art of Social Media

A workshop on - Facebook, Twitter, Blogging and more

This is a workshop for Artists on how to use social media tools, such as,

Facebook, Twitter, Blogging, YouTube and others.

Social Media Marketing is about making friends and getting your name out there, not about selling your art.  Remember  making friends is a great way to sell your art - people like to buy from their friends, or people they know.

Julie will not only be showing you how to set up your accounts, she will show how to use these tools efficiently and some of the 'little unknown' tools that make these tools more effective. She will address some of the concerns about using these tools, such as, they take up too much time or loosing privacy.
