Routines are often seen as a bit boring and tiresome, but small routines executed effectively can yield very good results, and this also goes for adding your work to Artybuzz.

Below, we have created a few steps to make sure that adding your new piece of work is exciting for everyone else as it is for us to see one of your new creations. These quick and easy self promotion steps form a nice little routine that you can put into action after uploading a new piece of work to Artybuzz, so why not give it a go and see if you get some results:

Step 1 – Upload your new piece of work

You know the drill, but think also about the tags you add (make sure they are useful keywords) and also how to name your work if you don’t normally think about that.

Step 2 – Share it!

Sharing is a great way to get both people you know and news fans looking and buying your work. Go to your individual piece of work or your profile, and share it on twitter, facebook, myspace and any other websites that you use. This will let your friends and family know about your new work, as well as it showing up in many other streams online.

Step 3 – Bookmark it!

Bookmarking is a really good way of getting new people to find your work. Using social bookmarking services like Stumbleupon, Delicious and Digg means that you can bookmark your individual work pages and also your Artybuzz profile, which can then get picked up by people who have never seen your work before… meaning potential new fans and buyers!!! We provide links for you to share on these service on your profile and art pages, so be sure to give it a go and watch your work page visitor numbers increase!!!

Step 4 – Add to Groups

As well as getting people to notice your work and then view it on Artybuzz, it is also important to get it noticed on Artybuzz itself. One of the most effective ways of doing this is by adding it to relevant groups. People view and add work to groups all the time, so adding yours means it can be seen in other places on Artybuzz as well as in the normal results. To do this, you can simply search for groups using the search box at the top of each page to find relevant groups to add your work to. And if you can’t find the correct group, why not create your own?

Step 5 – Comment

Commenting on other people’s work is also another great way to get your own work noticed. As well as being able to view some great artwork yourself, commenting on it gets people replying to you and importantly looking at your work at the same time. This can lead to sales, so it’s worth doing a quick whip round of commenting every time you upload a new piece of work.

Have a go at following these steps and compare it to previous work uploads that you have done, you’re sure to get more visitors and sales, so let us know how it goes.
