Sorry to have fallen of the Blog planet for so long.  Hol­i­days.  Was busy liv­ing instead of writ­ing blogs.  I hope you all were enjoy­ing the hol­i­days as well.

It’s the Happy New Year now and I am back. At the moment I am con­sid­er­ing how to use Social Net­works as a mar­ket­ing tool.  Quite frankly I know very lit­tle about it.

Sure I have a MySpace account, a Linked-In account, a Face­Book account, a Twit­ter account, a Manta account, my web­sites ArtandBusinessConsulting.com & AKAJake.com and blogs ArtandBusinessConsulting.com/blog/ & AKAJake.com/blog/ but how does one use them to mar­ket your business?

So this will likely be the topic of sev­eral of my next blogs as I see how these accounts can be used to mar­ket one’s business.

In the mean­time if you have any insights to offer please feel free to post them.  I would love to hear from you.

Today, I updated my Linked-In account, attempted to update Manta which hung up for some unknown rea­son, posted my first Tweet in a long time, and posted a new blog entry on MySpace and now here.  It seems that Linked-In  will fol­low my Tweets and my blog on ArtandBusinessConsulting.com and Manta will also fol­low my Tweets so I guess I should use Twit­ter more often.

Yours in art,

Jake

PS. I am still look­ing for Spon­sors & Con­tribut­ing Patrons to help me pay the $7651.31 I charged to attend this event; this amount is the sum all the receipts I can find relat­ing to the trip-about $4,000 is the Bien­nale artist’s share, then hotel & air­fare, plus pack­ag­ing for my art, taxis, meals in Italy, postage and other inci­den­tal expenses. I have raised about $2079 in dona­tions–many thanks to those who have con­tributed to this event.  But I need more assis­tance and every lit­tle bit helps.
