Promotion using 'Selected Artworks'
I’ve been running an image based blog on Selected Artworks for just over a year now (it doesn’t seem that long!)
It was only intermittently updated in the early days, but I’m now trying to add at least 4 items per week, and this is resulting in a slow growth of viewing figures, and click through to the artists involved, and I know that at least one painting has been sold as a result of someone finding it through Selected Artworks
The artists involved have all given their permission, either as members of the redbubble ‘promote each other’ group, as members of other groups I’m involved with or as a result of a specific request for permission.
(and there’s the occasional image from me too ;) )
Recently promoted redbubble artists include
Marie Monroe
Sarah Moore
Sienna Morris
Faizan Qureshi
Dave Pearson
I think you might have got the wrong URL in the first paragraph.

oops! I tested all the other urls as a matter of course, but would forget the most important one (in the context of the post) and the ononly one that was actually (hopelessly) wrong.
Thanks Dave; now corrected!

That’s great! I like what you are doing.
Mike Finley replied
thanks Michal!
about half the art featured comes from redbubble members (mostly from the Promote Each Other group, but very occasionally I ask permission from someone outside that group).
The rest are mine or from other groups I’m involved in outside redbubble.

Hi Mike
I really like what you’re doing and I was wondering if you choose photography as well as paintings
If you do i would like to invite you to have a look at my collection and see if anything fits the bill for what you like
Keep up the good work
Mike Finley replied
Have a look round the site – you’ll see its about 50% photography (alternately have a look at my redbubble page and see what I do!)
Most of the people promoted on Selected Artworks are either currently involved in promoting other artists/photographers or have been in the past. While its not essential, I’m more likely to select pieces from your work if you are also active in promoting others. I’ll have a look at your pages later, but are you doing any such promotion?

I do tend to comment a lot on both peoples work and on sites like http://digital-photography-school.com
Generally i favourite things i like and from time to time i will link to my favourites on my Facebook page
Hope this helps
If there are more things you like to see please let me know
