Your Not On Google Plus    Your Missing Out

Here is a great way to get to know Maxx Phoenixx and my work better.

Why G+?
If your an artist who just want to show off your talent, an art admirer or reach more buyers as a professional, Social Networking is a fantastic way to interact with artist and art lovers. Through engagement, allowing people the opportunity to know you- and/or your art.

G+ is the second-largest social networking site in the world, having surpassed Twitter in January 2013. It has approximately 359 million active users.[4] As of May 2013, it had a total of 500 Million registered users, (source Wikipedia)

What is G+
G+ is a Social Network service from Google, but Google differentiates G+ by allowing more transparency in who you share with and how you interact. It also integrates all Google services and displays a new Google+ menu bar on other Google services when you're logged into a Google account.

How I was able to grow an engaged G+ ''fan base'' from 0- to- 800 in a single month.
First and foremost Maxx Phoenixx, I'm a professional oil painter! and admittedly have little knowledge on Social Networking. Totally frustrated with Facebook I decided to give G+ a shot.
I decided to start fresh and imported not a single contact from anywhere. Devoting a couple hours a day and see what happens.

Armed with only some photos of my work, this page and a maxxpoenixxart@gmail account I set off to work on this new adventure.

With 0''friends'' at the time I posted to G+ Relevant communities (communities that solicit my type of art work ).
I noticed I was getting a few +1's (likes) on my art in the communities. So I added those people to my '' fans circle''.
Then reached out to a few more Relevant communities for my work and started to get some ''re shares'' and added them to ''shared circles''.
After a week had maybe 30-40 people in my circle's- great people!.

I then visited the people who are now in my circles and those who added me to their circles.
WOW, I was so impressed and inspired by some of these pages, I'd leave sincere comments and +1's on their post. Just being a fan myself, people started to add me to their circles. Then their friends would add me and so on. Things just snowballed from there until a few weeks later I had over 800 people following me.
I'm still growing daily and the traffic on all my pages has grown beyond any reasonable expectation. My post reach 1000's of people interested in me and my art. Meeting some truly wonderful people like yourself, who are supportive and inspiring!

When: Now is a great time as G+ is growing hourly with more active art communities - don't miss out!

Great point here Maxx! I'm visiting tons of member’s sites & not seeing any blog posts on a lot or just some. To gain reachable goal marking of your images or products you must use everything at your disposal. This technique has worked well with everything else I market successfully, so why not image? Here is the link to the article I wrote for anyone interested on how this is done on autopilot: http://fineartamerica.com/blogs/article-marketing-faa-art-and-images.html
