This Week: 5/18 through 5/24

Published May 18th 2008

Monday in Selling Art Online - As some of you probably noticed, last week I updated EmptyEasel’s art market traffic graph with new data from April.

If you’re ever curious to see which art websites are getting the most visitors per month, then check out that graph—and swing by tomorrow for my analysis of all that new information from April as well.

Tuesday in SEO for Artists - This week, I’ll be passing along a different sort of search engine optimization tip. It’s not a concrete technique like I’ve covered in the past, but it IS valuable advice that every SEO-savvy artist needs to hear.

Wednesday in Featured Artists - Get ready for some absolutely stunning portraits in pastel by Alicia Sotherland. If you like gorgeous color and detail, you’re not going to want to miss these.

Thursday in General Art Advice - Don’t settle for showing off that outdated portfolio one more time—instead, check out this week’s reader-submitted article by fellow blogger Michele Morgan and pick up a few tips on presenting your art with style.*

Friday in Artist Polls - Do you have your own studio space? Inside the house? Outside? Not at all? Vote now to see how many other artists are in the same boat.

And here are last week’s articles one more time:
