:   During registration let us know - Which tool you are most interested in?

This is a workshop for Artists on how to use social media tools such as

Facebook, Twitter, Blogging, YouTube and others.

Social Media Marketing is about making friends, networking, and promoting.  Making friends is a great way to sell your art - people like to buy from their friends or people they know.

Julie will not only be showing you how to set up your accounts, she will also be demonstrating how to use Social Media efficiently and will clue you in on some of the 'little unknown' tools that makes it easy to spread your word. She will also address concerns  such as the amount of time it takes and privacy issues.
