 |  Category: Lessons Learned  | Tags:

Let’s face it.  The economy is impacting all of us in one way or another.  It’s probably affecting your spending or driving habits.  It’s undoubtedly affecting your art business.  All of which leaves you wondering how to grow your online business during these tough economic times.

  • Keep a good attitude.

As hard as it is, your attitude needs to stay on a positive keel.  How you view your future will propel you forward–or not.  Rather than giving up, think of it as a challenge and an opportunity to try new things.

  • Make your business more visible.

Market yourself.  Keep your blog current with fresh posts.  People are still buying.  What you want to do is make your business the obvious choice.

  • Consider a financial investment.

Not a large investment, but a merchant cash advance can be used to buy ads on Google Adwords or other pay per click source.  Facebook now runs ads too.  The advantage with  Facebook is that you can target a demographic group.  You probably have a good idea of where your sales are coming from.  Use that information to further target ads to your preferred audience.

Above all remember that we will survive.  The economy has bounced back from worse challenges.  Ride the wave to a positive turnaround.

    Hi,

    In times like these, creativity has proven to be important.
    Being creative and unique is a great step for success.
    Mind that besides being important, a blog’s content must also be relevant.

    Take care,

    José

    You’re exactly right, Jose’. As artists, we need to be creative in our marketing too.
