The truth hurts, but people need to know it. Even if you’re being (slightly) immature about it. No-one reads your stupid tweets. This design is my take on the latest sexy offerings from Threadless

Twitter.com is mainstream due to exposure from Oprah Winfrey, Ashton Kutcher, and a number of other high-profile players. The now debunked rumor (in the U.S.) was that a Twitter television show (that box people watched before the Internet) was in the works. A quick, boring background: Twitter is a self-described “service for friends, family, and co–workers to communicate and stay connected through the exchange of quick, frequent answers to one simple question: What are you doing?” (in 140 characters or less) The full story is on Wikipedia (where everything is true). While there are no rules for using Twitter effectively, there are strategies and tactics that work better for selling art online. To see Rule #1 for using Twitter for purely marketing and PR (public relations) purposes, click here now. Despite the above guidance, there are no shortage of opinions about how to use Twitter for marketing and PR … 629,000 at last count. So, if Twitter isn’t a marketing and PR tool, “What is it good for aside from announcing that awesome breakfast?” At its core, Twitter is a messaging system and relationship building tool. In aggregate, your Tweets should give people more information about you, your artwork, and your creative process. You can use Twitter to engage followers in a discussion about [your] art. Here is my shortlist of tips for using Twitter to further your artistic bone fides. Please feel free to add your tips and tricks in the comments area below. If you want to be effective using Twitter to promote and sell your art: DO / - Use search.twitter.com (also see Twitter Advanced Search) to find and follow people interested in art, t-shirts, design, interior design, office management (these folks buy office art), etc. Essentially anyone with an interest in creativity. - Use Twitter to alert followers about: + Your progress about a current project or series. Use a RedBubble Journal article, Twitpic.com or another service to post works in progress; people love to see work in a fluid state. You can engage and pre-sell people on the design, solicit feedback, etc. + Tell people the beginnings of “the story behind a work.” Continue the story on your RedBubble Profile Page or on the ‘Show Work’ or ‘Configure Page.’ Note: The one thing that most Twitterers are lacking is great content; content is the most expensive tool in a Twitter toolbox. The good news is that you already have this content in your RedBubble Profile and/or Bubblesite. + Link to relevant content such as a RedBubble Journal Post or an article by an industry thought leader. Use TinyURL.com, Bit.ly or another free service to shorten your links. + Announce the addition of new work to your RedBubble profile. + Announce a promotion, e.g., a short-term reduction of your royalty, or a RedBubble-sponsored promotion. Always announce the promotion with a deadline. You can send one reminder when you’re 24-36 hours away from the end. That’s all though; no Tweet spamming. + Live ‘tweet’ an event. For example, every gallery in my hometown opens its doors on the Second Saturday of each month. Restaurants, musicians and street vendors also use the event to gain exposure. Twitpic, post to a RedBubble journal article, or simply tweet the goings-on – show your work, other work, action, etc. Give context to your work and your story. DON’T, if you want to use Twitter effectively for selling art … - Don’t use Twitter to announce what you had for breakfast. - A lot of people are voyeurs, but you’re looking for action, so create a call to action. E.g., use verbs like “see, click, view, read, try …” - Be ultra-efficient with your words. Get the point across and add a link if needed. A preamble isn’t needed for a Tweet. - Don’t use Twitter as your soapbox for negativity. On Twitter, no one can see you; they just hear you. If your language is ugly, well … EXTRAS You can customize your Twitter background to include pictures of your art and design, as well as your RedBubble URLs, a personal website address, phone number, or some context about you and your work. Remember to keep it simple. Note that I didn’t tell you that it’s imperative to use Twitter. Twitter isn’t for everyone. It’s an exercise in dedication, efficient use of words, and restraint; verbal diarrhea is not recommended nor effective. Please add your commentary, ideas, etc. below.

Twittering…Twit….. Twitter….
to tell you this is really me! I thought you knew! A symbol used within is the image of courage for Islamic Feminists:the symbol of equality for Islamic Feminists. Featured artist in the GROUP:STRICKLY HUMAN FACES For Kathleen..a feminist breaking boundaries(REDBUBBLE)
Is anybody out there…... FEATURED in the GROUP:The Woman Photographer PERTH to SYDNEY by bicycle in 58 days! I have just had a chance meeting with an amazing person! Whilst travelling along the Melbourne/Sydney highway I passed a lone cyclist and as luck would have it we both made the same detour off the main road before Yass and hence the chance meeting! Yasuke san is from Osaka. He bought a bike in Perth and was into the 55th day of his road trip from Perth to Sydney via Canberra when we met . Also his first trip to Australia! It took him 10 days to cycle across the Nullabor Plain covering 130 kms a day. Nullabor meaning nothing/no-one/tree/a limestone formation and 1,200 ms from east to west./Perth to South Australia. Refer to wikipedia for more information about the Nullabor Plain. A few days ago he sent me a text to say..” I reached my goal sydney city at last”............ He did not say “is anyone out there” whilst riding but these were my thoughts as I was driving the highway. But he did say”my legs are aching” Upon completing his journey from PERTH to SYDNEY by bicycle Yasuke san had covered 4,000 kilometres ! Taking 58 days to complete this journey on his OWN. Have just heard that he will not have to sell the cycle in Sydney but by paying $40 it will accompany him on the Indian-Pacific over the next few days. / Yasuke san has walked the temples of Shikoku Island. In the image above he is wearing the special stole worn whilst walking from temple to temple on Shikoku Island. It kept him safe in Japan and it will keep him safe in Australia during his travels. He has shown endurance and courage and his family must be very proud! On the island of Shikoku the pilgrim will visit the 88 temples. It is believed all 88 temples were visited by the famous Buddhist monk Kūkai, founder of the Shingon school, who was born in Zentsūji, Shikoku in 774. / In addition to the 88 temples of the pilgrimage, there are over 200 temples not considered part of the 88. The walking course is approximately 1,200km long and can take anywhere from 30 to 60 days to complete. check wikipedia for more information about Shikoku Island…...anyone with courage and determination is able to complete this walk! Good physical fitness and stamina is required to endure the stress of constant walking up and down the hills of Shikoku, in the burning sun and the pouring rain. Today is the 1st July/’09 and I received a text this morning to say Yasuke san and bicycle arrived back in Perth yesterday. The trip by train from Sydney to Perth taking 4 days.

(If you are interested in buying in bulk, i.e. 20 or more, please contact me and I’ll drop the price for you.) I have been following the Iranian elections for a while now. After the “winner” was declared, I really got into it. This man claims to have won by a landslide, even in his opponent’s hometown. Corrupt? I think so. After the results were announced, supporters of Moussavi (the opponent) began to protest, as they too thought something was fishy. Protesting led to rioting, which lead to police, military, and paramilitary forces killing seven people and wounding many others. These others are now living in fear. The government has raided schools. They are tracking Iranians on the internet, trying to shut down the internet, and are kicking all foreign media out of the country. Twitter.com has exploded with this. Iranians are sneaking on to send news and photos. People around the world are changing their location to Tehran to confuse the Iranian government that is searching for Iranian bloggers. They are setting up proxies. They are sharing news. They are giving support and advice. It is amazing what people will do for each other. Sadly, it seems that most people and much of the media doesn’t care. Media groups are focusing more on the Letterman joke than on the people murdered. People in the younger generations are getting nothing. I had someone ask me if Tehran was a person or a place; that’s how bad it is. So imagine if you show up to class, or coffee, or work, sporting this. People will ask. And you can tell. Keep Iran Free.

I am. RedBubble is too. And i have definitely noticed a jump in sales since i’ve been on there. Whatever you think of it, it is a good place to post links to your work here. And a good way to promote others as well. Mobii’s “Nobody Reads Your Tweets” shirt seems to be going viral on there right now, he’s probably goint to retire a millionaire, or at least get his bar on the beach. Some of the people on here who’s work i’ve tweeted – mobii, Janis Zroback, Dorothy Venter, nexus7, Mui-Ling Teh, Rajee, Incredible India Group, and Yanmos. A few quick hints- / 1)You only get 140 characters, including links. Shorten a long url by going to tinyurl.com No code needed, just paste url’s as is. / 2)Follow lots of people, you’ll get followed back. / 3) They have a pretty good search function on there to find both people and subjects. / 4) A few ways to find people to follow – You can pick through other people’s follower/followees, use the search function to look for subjects you find interesting, look at links via @ replies, search museums, companies, organizations that interest you, etc. / 5)Anyone who does t shirts – most of the big companies – zazzle, threadless, designs by humans, hide your arms, artevist, mysoti, skreened, etc will happily follow you back. / 6) Janis says below about uploading you artwork to the background – I haven’t figured that out yet, but Thick Black Outline has an awesome looking page there. Also don’t forget to put you website in your info section, that’s what people will click on when they look at your profile. / 7) Don’t worry about getting unfollowed. I get unfollowed a lot :) (i can be kind of obnoxious i guess). And you’ll get unfollowed by some people you don’t follow back, people with different interests, etc. Sometimes you’ll get refollowed as you post more. It’s no biggie either way. / 8) Something else for anyone with a Zazzle shop – there’s a “Twitter” link at the bottom of your product pages, click on that and it will upload straight to Twitter. And if you’re lucky and Zaz is working properly, (and you’re logged into Zaz) ,your referral code will be included too. One you can follow off the bat : RedBubble I’ll follow anyone from RB back – (Me) Asiantees Feel free to post your own profile in the comments here if you want to be followed.
