I saw a post like this on another forum and I thought it was a great thread. I decided to share a list of things that I use to help promote my art for other forums benefit from.

There are a lot of free ways to promote yourself offline.

Send a press release to your local newspapers and tv stations.

Notify your local chamber of commerce.

And thanks to the internet there are many online also.

For bookmarking I use
http://onlywire.com

It submits to 22 bookmarking sites including delicious, blinklist, and the more popular ones. After singing up the actual bookmarking only takes a few seconds- so 22 bookmarks for a few seconds time is not bad.

There is also:

http://redbubble.com
http://artgonia.com
http://deviantart.com
http://macacca.com

http://artbyus.com

http://www.art-agent.com/

http://www.artpromote.com/

http://dart.fine-art.com/artlinks/

http://www.artboost.com

http://www.artbeacon.com

http://www.absolutearts.com/

Each of those will allow you to post a link back to your site also. Which is extremely important. If a Google search is done for your name- the additional Google listings will add credibility to your name and work.

If you wish to have a blog promoting your art a few great services are:

http://blogspot.com

http://wordpress.com

http://livejournal.com

For social networking with other artists try:

http://youtube.com

http://orkut.com

How many others can you think of?

There are thousands of ways, places, and techniques to promote your art. I intend to share everyone of them.
