Posted project update #5Ten Reasons Artists Should Join ArtMuse Online Gallery
Post Comment1. Why we don't charge viewer subscription? Most standard software is now free, phone apps are free, online services are free, etc. That is simply how the global consumer market has shifted as technology has proliferated. Things have shifted and we need to shift with them. For example, after getting my Pandora music for free, I was pretty annoyed by having to register on their site and pay even a nominal 99 cents every month. And I know I was not alone. Now that they are free again, I use Pandora 24/7 and promote their service at every turn (like right now). I feel strongly that in order to become viable, we cannot ask viewers for a fee if we want this model to gain steam.
2. You built an expensive website - now what? Are you entertaining people to get their attention? You should be! Consider how potential patrons are finding you - or not finding you. Do people currently see your work at home, in the waiting room at the service center, and at their favorite wine bar? How many hits has your site received over the past 12 months? We're offering that missing link.
3. ArtMuse is a promotional site. Now, like Pandora, ArtMuse is an entertainment site. That is where the similarity ends. We create the desire for the real thing, which cannot be replicated through our service and cannot be purchased anywhere but from you. We are here to introduce your work to the world. We provide immediate and direct access to your site to make the sale. Even Pandora would not offer that to their musical artists.
4. We are not here to replace your art with it's own digital image - in fact, each of the images is watermarked by us to ensure it will not be replicated. This is why viewers will leave our site to go to your site.
5. We don't saturate the market with 'like' work. Every artist chosen is done so with the an appreciation for their unique qualities, whether it be the subject matter, medium, geographic location, etc.
6. ArtMuse IS the social media site. While enjoying your work on the ArtMuse.TV site, viewers can share your work with their friends via FaceBook and Twitter immediately. What other online service is going to provide that kind of exposure?
7. Use your marketing dollars optimally. Are you attending the art fairs again this year? Opening your gallery and serving beverages? Sending out print mailers? Hiring sales staff? We will promote ArtMuse.TV via social media, online media sites such as radio websites, entertainment sites, print and online art journals, cutlural event programs, etc. at no further cost.
8. ArtMuse is not trying to replace the gallery. There will always be a need for in-person showing and god be willling, we'll always have art professionals doing the great work they do for artists. ArtMuse was created to get the art into the homes, businesses and public spaces so ordinary people, dare I say 'the 99%' like us KNOW what we like. KNOW what is available. KNOW the artists whose work hangs on our walls.
9. We don't collect any commission. We do not exist by individual gallery sales. And we work with both individual artists, artist's reps, and collective galleries representing a number of artists. This works because our artists decide which weblink to use on the ArtMuse Online Gallery site.
10. Don't you want to be part of the revolution in art promotion? Over the last seven years, while developing ArtMuse.TV, we've paid close attention to how to build this site - while waiting for technology and the consumer market to catch up with this idea. Now that the internet has become the new entertainment source, and consumers understand the capability of internet entertainment on their large screen TVs, we can launch this. And I'd like some of you to join us. If you are a professional artist or are currently pursuing a career as an artist in the mediums of print, photography, paint or mixed media, we'd love to here from you.
Thank you for your interest!

Posted project update #4Update #4: Chosen as the 'Inspire Me Today' luminary!
As a publicist, I've placed many authors on the Inspire Me Today site -- and now I'd like to share my own '500 words of brilliance' which posted on the site this morning, with you! Please take a minute to read and share it, if you would!
I've got less than 10 days to reach my goal for the ArtMuse campaign, so if you're moved to contribute, there are some wonderful gifts I'd love to share on the Kickstarter link provided at the end of the article.
Thank you in advance and Happy New Year!
