Simply witness the Fresnobob’s post, all of those who've thus far been encouraging.
If I had an ad budget, I'd spend every dime. All I can afford is free online PR, and I'll be the first to admit I'm lousy at it. Running a practice, a minor painting career and two websites, not to mention fulfilling all my orders and playing customer service leaves little time to tweet.
My audience is designers and art directors for the site I’ve mentioned here. QBN is a place they gather. I've given away dozens of shirts to folks here via a little contest I've run and a few have become customers in kind.
I don't know if my "profits" from the entire year could buy a spot on QBN. Or elsewhere. So, according to Fresnobob, I'm simply screwed. Pay to promote, just like Coca Cola, or you can't sell yourself anywhere online.
Um, I believe an entire industry, many of us being involved, are using social media to help our own clients, not to mention our own careers.
