Have you ever felt that artists, actors, and creative fields are undervalued and unappreciated in our society, especially when it comes to income?
Do you want a stable income and still want your Dream of your creative endeavor to come true? An artist, actor, or creative person who wants to make money in their field wants to get known and exposed to more people and places. When you’re just starting out or stuck along the way, that can be a challenge. That’s where the new form of Internet Attraction Marketing fits like a glove for people in the creative arts.
Internet attraction marketing has recently been taught by the gurus of the Internet world who are showing us their secrets of how they have learned to attract people (potential customers) to them, instead of having to search for them in the “traditional” way.
The traditional way is to spend money on leads, call those leads, deal with rejection, hassle family and friends and everyone who moves, spend a lot of money on advertising. There is little return on investment.
What is the “new way” to market on the Internet and make yourself known to a larger audience? It starts with understanding social media and seeing your talent or creative art as a product or service to share.
So what are the benefits to you of starting social media with your business? Social networking and Web 2.0 are exploding on the Internet and a large number of people participate in online social networking communities. It is allowing companies to take advantage of incredible opportunities.
NOW is a very good time to start and position yourself in the marketing revolution that is happening on the internet. Every day, new people sign up to social networking websites. These sites were originally formed with the motivation of building friendships and social networks of like-minded people.
Now people are getting news, current events, politics, finance, sports, watching videos, hobbies, listening to music, and discussing topics on social sites and forums – this is where “people” hang out. It makes sense to go where they are and meet them there and get to know you. It’s free to socialize with people in your online networks.
Once you’ve started communicating with others in the social communities of your choice, one of the biggest benefits that’s likely to happen is… you’ll gain respect within your community and build an “audience.” Because you are genuine and offer valuable knowledge and information, you will gain a lot of potential interest in yourself and your business.
If you want to start building your “Audience” now, here’s one way to start:
4 small steps towards social networks:
1. Join Facebook – Join a group(s) about topics of interest, a business and/or hobby * add a signature link to your website that will allow your new friends and contacts to “click” and connect with you and your business.
2. Fill in the profile page: be genuine, easy to read, link to your company websites (blog, etc.).
3. Regularly add content, update, add a post and invite people – reply to their comments, write articles, videos and music.
4. Sign up for Facebook (no cost). To go: facebook.com – complete the form – email address – your name – password
