Nancy – I keep a running list of questions that people ask. As I’m working on a sustainable business model I can’t promise to answer them all in a short time frame but I will get to them eventually.

Thank you Lisa, great info, I didn’t know that you can’t promote your art on your facebook profile, but it makes sense. I am seriously thinking of making a fan page now, even thought it creates more work, updating, blogs, facebooks, etc., arg! Looking forward to reading more of your great information.
You are an inspiration.

Love and peace
Claudia

Hi Lisa,
Thanks for the info. I had just recently added a fan page on Facebook, and am still trying to figure out how it works. Other than friends I invite to become a fan, any other suggestions on promoting my fan page more?

Also, when I started my fan page, I added the LLC on the end of my art biz. I’m thinking I should not have added the LLC, because it is not on my website, or my blog, or my FB group that I started. Shouldn’t they all coincide, or does it not matter? I tried to delete the LLC, but it won’t seem to let me edit the title of my fan page.
If you have any suggestions, let me know. Thanks for the info!

Hi Lisa,
Thank you so much for sharing all this! I got this from a post from Alyson Stanfield about Twitter, which I’m not on, but followed the link to here. My son helped me get on Facebook and do a fanpage. I still have some questions though.

When someone becomes a fan,you can’t see their profile, but can they see all the personal stuff you write on your wall such as “our cats and dogs and what we had for breakfast” or just your profile?

If I post something about my art on my fan page, does it also show up on my friends pages/walls? If not, do I need to post the same info on both places? I don’t want to over do it with my friends, but most of my friends are also fans.

Also, how do you let people know you have a fan page after you’ve invited your friends. Is it just word of mouth after the initial invite?

Now I am worried about the selling of my art thing! How else do we let people know we are professional artists with out mentioning that we sell our work?

Hello Lisa,
I too struggled with the fan page issue, but created one a few days ago and I have over a 100 fans- some are family, friends and students. But I post about my artwork, upcoming workshops and what’s happening in my studio. My Facebook profile is about my other stuff – family, friends and everyday life. I like the separate – personal life and art life.
Thanks for sharing,
Alease

Thanks Mark – thanks for stopping by.

Jesse – I suspect no reason to worry about the fine print. But always good to know what we really signed when we signed up!

Susan – funny. And thanks – I’m excited!
