Whether we choose to embrace it or not, the Internet has become an integral part of our society.

People today crave instant up to date information, and using the Internet, they can get it. Everything and anything can be searched for online, and when it’s found, the likelihood is that it will be for sale. More and more people are using the Internet, shopping online has become mainstream.

Not only are people buying directly from the web; it has become a catalyst for ‘net influenced sales’. People can now shop in the comfort of their homes, in their own time. Browsers can discover, make inquiries about a product or service and then buy. When they see something they like, anywhere in the world, they now have the option to buy it on the spot.

How does this affect our lives as artists?

Simple. The Internet can offer any artist the opportunity to promote their art and, potentially more so than ever, make a healthy living.

Artists embracing the Internet take a positive and realistic step towards recognition. It doesn’t matter how big or small your output or profile is; you can leverage a whole new audience if you know how.

When a website is engineered efficiently, it can be the most cost effective promotional tool in the world.

The Internet will give you an advantage, especially if you use an engineered system that gets the search engines working for you. When browsing online, a new buyer will often find you due to your search engine rankings, i.e. if you get on the first page of a search result list you have a better chance of being looked at.

A regularly updated website creates an advantage; the search engines will rank you more highly and give you greater exposure. Currently most artists are hardly found at all by the search engines, especially if their website is a ‘one off’ entity, which is not updated or linked to other relevant sites.

Just sticking a website up on the internet and thinking you’ve done your bit won’t cut it anymore. It will languish there unnoticed and unseen. That’s where the ArtistInsite™ system comes in.
