The Anatomy of a Blog


Last week I taught a 'Blogging for Artists' workshop at the Cornwall Artpreneur Conference. Since then a few artists have asked for the information so here are some (can't give away all my secrets at once) on what you should include in your blog posts:

  • Controversy is good, make a statement, no politicians allowed (in other words no sitting on the fence)
  • Links to other websites and blogs are good
  • Images are vital
  • Have contests
  • Include your customers (comments, stories, photos - with permission of course)
  • Post follow up comments (even if they come by email)

For those that missed the workshop I am hosting the same session on Kingston on November 30, 1-2 at my studio. For more info visit my site - www.lindseyfair.ca
