Social Media for the Arts

Not long ago at the COSE Small Business Conference, Linda Nawrocki from Optiem delivered a presentation on how to best use the social media tools Facebook and LinkedIn to benefit an artist’s career or creative arts business.  Linda gave some very practical advice as to how each of these social media outlets lends itself to putting forward a professional image, attracting new fans/clients and reaching the broadest range of people.  She also gave a few common “dos and don’ts” as far as maintaining personal and professional information on these wildy popular Web sites.  Please visit here to see Linda’s slide presentation and follow up to her via the contact information at the end of her slide show for more specifics about how social media experts view Facebook and LinkedIn.
