Tell Your Friends, Make Some Money.

To Hell With Advertising

Now that FineArtPets.com is a somewhat complete website, I started considering how to advertise the new website. (Funny, I think that’s where this whole process started.) Despite risking very low Google, Alexa, And Compete rankings, I didn’t want to depend on Entrecard, Adgitize or CMFads to send me “faux” traffic. These sites increase your bounce rate and create a fake feeling of accomplishment that will, in reality just set you back.

Personally, I would rather support other artists, crafters, and bloggers. I even tried by joining Project Wonderful and buying ads from ads from artist friendly blogs. I got nothing.

Experimenting with Art Marketing

Promoting your own stuff is hard. If you are like me, you feel arrogant and full of yourself. It’s a headspace I find uncomfortable. I need your help in promoting my work. And instead of investing money in advertising, I decided to invest in you.

I created an affiliate program.

I hate that name.

Let’s call it a recruitment drive for an Art Marketing Army. I like that better.

The Art Marketing Army will get a 10% commission for any sales from Fineartpets.com, myPhotodada.com (coming soon) and Artforbeers.com (coming soon after myPhotodada.com) and then the re-vamped Shindigdada.com. You may wonder how I plan to track all that. Well,  I joined E-junkie.

And how much am I sharing? 10%.

Interested? Wander over to The FineArtPets.com Recruitment page for details, instructions and my undying gratitude.

Spread the word.

And I’ll report back how I did it, how successful I am, and how you can do it too.
