Youtube And How To Advertise On It Effectively

What would a buyer be interested in knowing/seeing about your work? I would imagine buyers want to connect with the artist and artwork - see the artist at work, know what motivates them to create, understand why the art is important and worth looking at.

I use the simple 'slideshow to music' format. Though I haven't yet figured out how to get huge numbers of viewers (my view are all in the hundreds -- not thousands), I've had quite a few great sales from my YouTube viewers.

The number of views would organically increase, I'm sure, if I were more consistent and frequent with posting new videos. My goal is to post weekly, though I'm nowhere near that, yet. It's shameful, really, that I'm taking so little advantage of such a great, free -- and proven -- resource!

I think tutorials get lots of views.

Thanks Ed.

Wendy,
Hundreds is still better than zero. Especially when you do the ratio, i.e. I sell one piece of artwork for every one thousand views. So, I need to increase the number of views to hundreds of thousands over the next 10 years. I just have not figured out how : (

LC,
Tutorials? I need to think about what I can teach in a one minute video... thanks. Zorro

Zorro,

I would look at people like Serge Ramelli if you thinking about tutorials and drawing views. Serge is one of the best in Photography tutorials in my opinion and he gets a lot of sales from YouTube as well.

something that Serge does is actually sell his tutorials too, so he puts just enough out there to get people to buy his video tutorials and he sells his photography.

Check him out sometime http://photoserge.com

David,

Thank you for the tip. I will look Serge up. Have a great Thanksgiving.
