“Squidoo is the world’s most popular site for building free, single pages about your passions.”

If you haven’t heard of Squidoo yet, listen up because it could help you increase your art print sales. One of the best ways to understand Squidoo is as DailyCandy advises: “Think Friendster meets Wikipedia.” It is essentially a network of pages (lenses, ala Squidoo) about specific topics that users who love those topics create.

So, how can using Squidoo help you sell? Well, what is it you’re passionate about? Several Imagekind artists have already tapped into this excellent resource. Check these out to get some ideas on how you can utilize Squidoo:

If you have yet to create a lens about your artwork, I would encourage you to check it out and start one. If you have started one, I’d love to see it. Throw a link in the comment section and I’d be happy to take a look.

If you have any questions or further ideas on how to use Squidoo more effectively, share them.

Natasha Wescoat, one of our top selling artists, has recently contributed a few very interesting articles to the EBSQ blog. I found them particularly insightful and knew they were worth sharing as soon as I finished reading them. I especially like her DIY and whatever-it-takes attitude.

In Creating Your Success: Online Self-Publishing, Natasha says, “Being successful doesn’t mean it must be determined through traditional channels. Media moguls are cutting college to develop their successful technology, artists are fending off traditional education in favor of self education, and writers are finding they don’t have to go through publishers to follow their dreams.” I like her attitude and perception! I am glad to read how she has been able to successfully leverage all the resources available to artists to show and sell their work.

I am excited to see how all of our amazing artistic collaborations are coming together! Not only does Imagekind have a great relationship with EBSQ but also a fantastic partnership with Flickr, one of the top photo sharing sites. It is fascinating to see how the artistic web continues to grow and spread!
