This is my response to this article:
Advice on Getting Advice Part 3
written for artists to encourage then to work on marketing their art:
first of all - what came to mind when I read of the horse and it's actions was a beginning passage in the book - "Emotional Intelligence" where a man is described as having a pick accidentally go through is brain and other than his personality change where he not longer could control his emotions - (read temper) there no other signs indicating that his accident had changed him in any other way - *(read - he was still alive and pretty much normal besides his emotional change) - this is my guess as to what happened with that horse - in which case unless the lady trying to find a cure was aware of this type of effect of the brain damage done at birth to this animal - I could completely understand her attempts at trying to get the horse to change it's behavior - .
As far as marketing is concerned - I have been in the business world for a looooong time - and understand that the best course to take with any business venture is to delegate the tasks that can be delegated to others - and as far as I can tell it is the artists joy - pleasure - responsibility and challenge to focus only on creating art - especially in today's environment with the many new tools to do so being available and to do a minimum of planning the website - blog - newsletter and other inclusions of work in the various online environments and allow the art to a certain extent sell itself as well as delegate any greater efforts beyond the basic setups that I mentioned above to people individuals or companies that are focused on those types of activities and efforts - that is my thinking - and what I can tell you is that to date - I have well over 7,338,459 images views of the images in The Bebirian Art Collection and will gradually and continuously do my part in encourage and enlisting other people to focus on marketing my art images while I focus constantly and consistently on creating more and more images and placing them in the collection galleries -
While this may seem contrary to what the article has explained and encouraged I can assure you that I have placed a great deal of effort and continue to do so in the direction of marketing by continuing on with my "Doubling Project":
The Doubling Project
my blogs:
List of my blogs with links
and my marketing tools:
Marketing Tools Page on my Main Website
while also constantly utilizing the tools presented with these business opportunities:
Business Opportunities Page on my Main Website
my term delegation refers to my use if the services of people like Peter Olsen here:
Watch out for Peter Olsen
as well as the writing of various articles such as these:
The Richest Man in the World Ever!
The Ultimate Source of Renewable Energy!
The Most Powerful Idea on the Planet!
I guess it would be alright to add the
Facebook Fan Page for The Bebirian Art Collection
to this list as well
One thing is interesting - and that is that unless I continue to find even more outlets and ways of sharing my art and introducing it to the populations (read both present and futures) of the world I will not have felt that I have even begun to touch the surface as to the great potential of marketing possibilities open to us as artists today -
thank you!
