Get Promotional Art Services from Ave Hurley ~!


I work online continually and have been doing Art Promotionals and Advertising, for over 3 years selling my own artworks online.

When I was approached for promotional services, the cheapest promoter I found online was $395 for just an annual ad listing and some tag words and then Dunne & Bradstreet has a promo pack for $895 a year for little more in actual tangible services.

When I talked with their sales rep and he asked what I am doing in the ways of promoting my art online, he was astounded and told me that I should be working for them!!

He said that I actually do more in art promotions than they do~!!


So I decided that since I do it for myself and have succeeded in self promotion and now with all that I learned, I am willing to do it now for other artists,who need help in getting better known online.

The promotions I do are listed in many major online venues including, Squidoo, Twitter,Facebook,Live,StumbleUpon,MySpace,Deli-c-ious, Netlog,Eblogger,Wordpress, Search Engine submission, We2NK , Local.com,Craigslist and more.

I help with editing, tagging and introducing your art online with my personal endorsement, as I have a good online reputation with 100% positive online customer satisfaction.

I am an artist first and built my site customized for art promotions and sales & have free resources and tools for any artists to self promote their work, but for those who need help in promotions or need an editor, it normally costs $895 a year from places like Dunn & Bradstreet [ to which I am also a registered member} to receive similar services

I can provide my services to you for only $5 to start for the first month & only $7.50 per month there after for as long as you want ~ Even when my service prices go up in the future, you will continue to receive services at this agreed price~!!
No catchs, no crazy contracts and doubletalk~ Fully refundable if not satisfied ~!

I am just an artist like you but am helping other artists online to get ahead~!
There is so much talent out there and so many artists deserve more recognition and exposure online but simply do not know how or who to trust online and many like I was dont know where to get started.

I have done my research and homework on this and now am prepared and able to help promote any artist who needs help, but since it is very time consuming - at least 10 hours a month, to do YOUR personalized service and all I am asking is this very nominal amount, to simply help offset some of my internet time and costs.


I just happen to know alot more about online marketing than most artists and have more computer skills focused on art promotions than most artists you may know. I have now been helping many other artists to be able to get established online and I can personally help you, even with tech support and am an email away, as well as phone call 602-539-4053 , when you need to talk about your online art needs~!


Subscribing to my services is making me your promotional agent [in a limited capacity according to your permission] to act on your behalf, to help promote your art and to get you known online and to direct traffic to your art on any sites you belong to, for as long as you want ~!
I will even make permalink adsites for you in search engines that will be easily found in major search engines to remain, even if you cancel my services at any time you want to.

Thankyou and best of success to you in selling your art online~!

Free Help to Artists Selling Online ~ From an Artist to Artists~!

 

Repatoo - you know what they say - google Look me up by username : " Ave " Establishing a good online reputation is vital in establishing any art business online.You earn your reputation through positive reactions of customers you have sold to online~ Check my 100% Satisfied Customers Ratings and See what some of my customers from various sites have to say about me, my artwork and my services provided to them~!


Now I am looking to help other artists who are trying to learn their way around the internet and sell their artwork as well.What's in it for me? Cross Promotion~!!!


Viewers want a variety of art to look at and will pick out what they want~ So I don't see other artists as competitors, rather as collegues and worthy of respect and promotion to perpective art collectors and buyers. I envision  my websit growing into an interactive Art Hub for online art related activities, by showing and selling "G" rated family friendly artworks. Unlike most art networks, I do not allow nudity or porn or violence or demonic arts~! I personally evaluate and approve every work  of art displayed on my site, since after all, my good name is on the site endorsing these artists!


You will find some of the most amazing artworks online by artists such as Murphy Art Elliott, Bob Bello, Bill Wright, Kevin Heaney and many more fantastic highly talented artists~! I am an landscape and seascape artists. I do them very well. I do however know my limitations~ I don't do portraits or outer space fantasy paintings BUT I know artists that do~!! That's what its all about on my site~ to bring variety, talent and hope to both artists and consumers~!


I am sharing this resource here making it available to ALL artists who wish to sell and promote their art online without any additional costs. Lets face it, most of us, artists have limited computer skills and less promotional skills~ Most consumers too would rather buy without added fees~


Anyway after compiling my own art research and testing the market with my own art, I have sold over 300 works of art in the last 2 years online in the places I am sharing here.


I did join many of the POD sites [like Fine Art America. ArtWanted, Imagekind,ESBQ and more~} where I had to pay an annual fees & sellers fees and found they didn't really increase my sales enough to cover the costs of their memberships~ I sold more on Ebay and Plunderhere than  on the POD Sites~!


So, as mentioned,  I also sold alot on Ebay for the last couple of years, but  I was not satisfied overall  with the results,  ~my art  often being sold on the minimum bids, as there simply is an over saturation on art on Ebay in that just to get a few views may be all you get and Ebay charges fees whether you sell or not.


I found the other auctions sites listed below that things sold slower but they sold and they didnt charge listing fees which makes it a win win situation in that you only have to pay a small sellers fee if your item is sold and if not, you can automatically relist them til they do sell~ That saves alot of time and effort along the way to simply hit a relist button~!!


Then I found some little shops that sell and are affordable in that you only pay pennies to list an item for up to 3 months at a time like at Etsy! Still without promotion, getting people to your art is alot of work in itself and people will not simply find you if you dont promote!


You could post pics on every social site on the net working 20 hours a day and not get a sale as a result. You need to promote to an audience that is looking to buy art or suggested to see your art and may result in a sale. Here is my list of places to show, promote and sell your art.


Promoters charge alot of money, because there is work involved, but here even the least computer saavy artist can successfully list, promote and sell their art more effectively Best of Luck~ AveHurley

DO YOU Want to find out how you can show and sell your art all over the internet, without costing you any money?
Join my Supergroups and use the links to connect you all over the web!


I want to introduce you to my new :SuperGroups directory that will help you show, promote and sell your art online~!!! No fees involved~ no gimmicks, just focus on your art and use SuperGroups to portal you into places online where you can advertise, show and sell your art all over the web~

This resource is FREE and because my site is a site I made for selling my art and while doing so, I have developed it into a network by an artist for artists and believe that you will be successful there, unlike any other ning site, my site is interconnected to many sites for cross promotions on art alone~!!


Typical Professional Advertising online can be way out of reach for most artists as there are many agencies out there all wanting your money before doing anything for you and then even with paying them there is no guarantee it will yield any sales.They may have the programs to hook you up to many places but they charge alot of money and have no guarantees~ I have been learning how to do it myself and am now sharing what I have learned with any other artists needing help~!

There are ways to cross promote, gain internet traffic and meet possible buyers as well as there are ways to direct traffic to your shops and auctions, partially by blogging but also by knowing where to post ads and blogs for maximum exposure and results...

I am showing other artists how to show and sell more effectively online.My website is set up with many resources and organized in ways you wont find on any other ning~!

Its new and innovative and has things you can do there instead of just posting a pic and waiting for a response~!! You can take your pictures all over the web through my site and it will take your time but not your money as the services are FREE~

While I am not an ad agency or commercial promotions company, I have been finding my way around the internet and have learned alot over the last few years, specific to showing and selling my art online and I have developed my website to include alot of hidden resources that will help any artist at no matter what computer skill level to be able to advertise and sell their art without having to pay for it as so many sites charge for these services and yet dont guaranty any sales..

My Featured Artists Network is interactive and links to many sites that instead of spinning your wheels by continually posting pics and looking for comments or paying ad agencies or other galleries, you can actually advertise your art to the world community and reach those seeking to buy art and show them what you got~


Join my group today as it is emerging into what is sure to become the 'MySpace for Arts" on the world wide web as it is growing fast, with alot of internet traffic leading to places that will get results~!


Its an open site and you will find Squidooportals and more to many places that will help you in selling your art online without having to pay fees.

Most resources are manual - in that you can customize them to your needs.You do not have to be a computer expert to navigate my site or use its resources. I am there too to help you along the way.

While Ave Hurley Illustrations' Featured Artists Network is geared to promoting artists who want more exposure and sales, it is also social and you can learn more there without all the hype and come ons that other sites have. You can learn the ins and outs of effectively selling online~

You dont have to pay to sell on my site and you can learn how to list on sites such as:
ArtWanted
Imagekind,
FineArtsAmerica

IT IS ALSO NOW ON my auction sites like:

Plunderhere

Ebid

Webidz and more that allow you to relist free to sell your art without paying any fees for items that dont sell and only a small % fee on sold items~

There are stores online that allow you to sell your art and you will receive royalties $$ and never have to pay out of pocket for anything~

I also randomly endorse and advertise my members artworks all over the web~ I do this because as I want to sell my art, others want to sell theirs and we can all cross promote and reach a wider audience~ Buyers will buy what they want and want variety of choices.. Providing those choices helps all of us~!!


Best of Success to us all~!
Ave
