Many artists understand that maintaining a consistent web presence could help with sales, but feel they don’t have time for a blog. They’d rather be creating. And, I get that!
Fifteen minutes a day to a web presence.
What if I told you that you could invest fifteen minutes a day in your web presence to see results? In Blogging for a Visual Art Business, I explain that if you get into a consistent habit of writing and working on your blog, you can maintain a system that eventually can take as little as fifteen minutes of your time every day.
This article by Michael Hyatt explains this concept well. Little bits of progress consistently over time will reap the rewards in the long run.
Invest in your art business.
I’m not going to lie, though. You will need to invest some time on the front end. But, after you build your system, you will be able to maintain your online presence in fifteen minutes a day.
Daily is better than monthly.
Working on your system every day keeps you fresh. It helps you to build momentum. It’s easier than sitting down once a month to update things.
Four Necessary Ingredients
If you are serious about starting and maintaining a blog that will drive your art marketing forward, consider the Artist Blogging Toolbox. This program has all four of the necessary ingredients outlined in the article.
1 – Get Clear on Your Goals
The first action in the Toolbox is to outline the goals you want your artist blog to accomplish for your business.
2 – Identify the Right Behavior
After your blog is set up with your first set of posts, you will learn how to set up a system that includes daily behaviors that work to continue to build your presence.
3 – Track Your Progress
The Artist Blogging Toolbox includes tools you can use to plan out your posts and stay on track with your plan.
4 – Accountability Partner
Perhaps the most significant selling point of the Program: You are not alone! This is a self-paced program, but it includes points for checking in and one-on-one meeting time between you and me working specifically on your blog.
Positive Habits Make Progress
Fifteen minutes a day of any proactive activity can help your business. Even if it’s not blogging, try committing fifteen minutes every day to one positive thing you’re already doing to market your work.
