Rules for Artists Starting in Web 2.0 and Social Networking!
Today, after going through many of the flickr Pictures and blog posts from PAB, I found myself at the Influential Blog of Chris Brogan. Chris is the co-founder of Podcamp and blogs about business and community here. For all of my good friends in the art world using New Media to help them along this video I have embedded below recorded by Chris Penn of the Financial Aid Podcast and Marketing Over Coffee is a must see! I will first share the notes I took after watching the video for the fourth time! These are my two favorites. Often spoken about yet rarely done with sincerity and in the spirit of giving. Social media is not a one way street but rather a dialog.
1. Build Community
2. Raise those up around you! Give Love!

Chris made my Fridge! I have posted my takeaways from Chris’ Jolt session. I do this from time to time and then I take them down when they are implanted in my head. As an artist trying to make it in this space Chris’ blog and bits of knowledge are invaluable!

Me too! Do you think you’d be willing to put that up on Flickr with a creative commons share? I’d love to use it in a post. : )
Great takeaways from your experience with my jolt. I’m really glad that it worked for you.
