Options for selling your art onlineI'm now completely cross-eyed. Partly because I have not been enjoying at all the way that Squidoo lost some of the basic functionality for building sites like this in the last webware update. It's now very difficult to move links around in the link list module and consequently you well find that the order of some of the links is not as logical as it might be.Selling from your website and/or blog

The information you provide on your blog is not only fascinating, it is invaluable! I am so thankful for the effort you put into it. This subject is one I've been waiting for....... THANK YOU!!
ReplyDeleteThis is great, both blog posts for the past two days - this is going to be very helpful to me!
ReplyDeleteA great resource, Katherine.
ReplyDeleteA lot of people will gain a tremendous about of knowledge from this.
How very kind of you to be willing to grab the request and run with it.
Thanks
*grin* I'll just have a little laugh at your expense. You're a brave woman to try to bring together info on this topic. It's vast. :) No time at the mo to look at the Squidoo but if you need any specific help drop me a line.
ReplyDeleteI know! I know!
ReplyDeleteThis lens is going to be a work in progress for quite some time. I think what I'm probably going to do is create lens for all the different topic areas and then link them into this one. That's what I've already done for the online galleries and the email marketing.
There is just soooooooooooooo much stuff which needs to be included!
I agree wholeheartedly with everyone elses comments. I've been thinking of starting a blog/setting up a website for a while now - you've just given me one less excuse not to get on and do it!
ReplyDeleteI hope you are not cursing me. I have this feeling my question was the straw that broke the camel's back!
ReplyDeleteI can see I am going to be making a place in my weekend timetable just for your blogs!
Thank you for doing this!
Holy cow Katherine! Thanks.
ReplyDeleteNow please go rest your eyes.
