  Handmade Business Marketing: Tips to Grow Your Craft Sales Explore effective marketing tips for handmade businesses. Learn how to create a strong brand, market your products, and grow your craft sales both online and offline. I remember when I decided to craft and sell my recycled art objects, it was scary because I didn't know how to go about it. I spent time creating craft items that would stay in my storage for months because I felt they were not good enough, until I joined Pinterest in 2013 and that changed. I understood immediately that the internet is indeed a level playing field and "beauty is indeed in the eyes of the beholder".  The more I blogged about my craft and posted on pinterest the more the views increased and people shared their ideas with me. No one is alone in this journey people need what you are selling they just need more convincing and consistency from us.

Modern Abstract Art Silhouettes to view | Miabo Enyadike

  Modern Abstract Art Silhouettes to view   I enjoy painting abstract art silhouettes especially faces.The simple reason is I can manipulate the profile of an individual, with several layers of color. Color for me is an integral part of my art aesthetics I allow color to lead my creative process in the way I see the art I am about to create.            Silhouette of a woman; Abstract Art; by miabo enyadike. My Abstract Art this week is all about using colors to create a simple silhouette, of a woman and a man. When I decided to create this particular abstract painting, it was more of emphasis on color than on the human profile. I wanted to see what the outcome of the creative process would look like.  Also to see if and when the human features are covered in colors, other than our natural colors would this Art evoke any emotions?... that simply belies the fact, that color seems to be one the many problems we have in our so...

Several Ways to Promote Your Art Online and Offline by Artmiabo

Several Ways to Promote Your Art  Art is truly in the eyes of the beholder, who love what they see immediately, but the purchasing of the Art is a different ball game.  People tend to make a decision to buy your art after several views that is the way it works.   For some fewer views and they buy, while others several views before a collector makes a purchase.             Abstract Flower Painting, Wall Art,  by Miabo Enyadike The reason for these disparities is sometimes, name recognition could prompt a quick purchase or good presentation of your Art could be a factor.  While on the other hand poor presentation, costing, need, and relevance could lead to delays.  The issues here are relative, there is no quick magic to sell your art, you just have to put it out there for people to see and decide for themselves.  I have been fortunate to be in the Art business for over 20 years, so I have a...
