Podcast: The website you were meant to have

Our podcast on January 17 was with Jennifer Rapp Peterson, an illustrator, greeting card entrepreneur,8869098685?profile=original cartoonist, and oh yes, tech wiz! We talked about artist websites and her specific answer to "what to do", IndieMade.com, an inexpensive ($12 a month), technically unchallenging, beautiful place to host all of your website needs. 

During the podcast several people called in to say they had new sites up and running in less than 2 hours! My best advice to you this month: don't get in your van and drive 200 miles, sleep in a hotel, eat out and hope to break even, or a little ahead, at that art fair you are considering. Keep that booth fee and the other expenses in your bank account, give yourself a weekend off and build that site!

Jennifer offered a free ebook to our readers/listeners who sign up for their mailing list:

Building an Artist Website: a Place Called Home
Create more than just a website, build a website home.  A website home can provide the foundation of any art business online.  It's a place where visitors can find all of your information online.  It's an artist's best marketing tool.  Learn about what an artist needs from a website, why they need it and how they can make it happen.
