Small Dilemma In A Good Sized Bonus

What's the dilemma? You are a public figure. Its editorial.

From the BlunBlun website......

How does it work?
If you are an artist, you can showcase and sell your artwork and design. We take care of they will be displayed in physical spaces like apartments, houses, galleries, offices, hotels, restaurants and public spaces in your city.

Also you can participate giving exhibition spaces, we take care of installing the pieces of art of the artists of your choice on your company or organization in time and very convenient conditions.

In BlunBlun we disseminate art and design projects. Our mission is to generate recognition of artists and designers for the work they perform, approaching the public to meet and interact with them, so we created this "1MT2 for Art" program in partnership with organizations that promote the arts in more than 16 cities in 10 countries.

looks like a scraper site.

Ed,

So enjoy having it up? Ten countries must be all of South America.

Folks, apply with them is my suggestion.

Mike,

What is a scraper site?

Do scraper sites offer services?

Dave

I guess their strategy is 1. Put up an artist's work 2. Artist searches and finds the site.

Enjoy some free advertising.

Ed,

They contacted me after the fact through Twitter. I did not search.

Their alexa ranking is only okay 7.5 million.

Addition thanks Ed.

There are some other FAA artists on their site.

They have a good presence on FB and Twitter.

I just noticed their FB handle is blunblunTV. Some sort of conglomerate.

I am thinking in South America fewer people have the internet, so the rankings that are necessary to
compete are lower than in North America. But that the people who do have the internet are more
likely to have the money as well. The Spanish speaking market might be a bit thinner of people, but
more condensed with monied folks. Just my guess.

SocialBakers offers data on who is following a FB page. Just found this.

If you are interested you can sign in using your FB account.

a scrapper scoops up material from the web, and drops it on one large page. this site looks random with many images. didn't see yours at all.

You cant miss it, but you need to learn Spanish.....or get some glasses....

Dave

David, keep in mind that Brazil is also in South America, and Brazilians speak Portuguese -- in fact, more people live in Brazil and speak Portuguese than in all the other South American countries combined. And these days the majority of Brazilians have smart phones -- I grew up down there in a city that was not "monied" by any stretch of the imagination, and I've found almost all my old friends on Facebook. They're still not wealthy, but they have internet access.

Oh, and yes, if I remember correctly, there are 9 Spanish speaking countries down there -- Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, Bolivia, Ecuador, Peru, Venezuela, Colombia, Chile. There's also Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana, which speak English, Dutch, and French, respectively.

This concludes today's geography and social studies lesson. (wink)

Lori,

This is in Spanish out of Argentina. I looked at the SocialBakers report no mention of Brazil.
Just ten South American countries and 16 cities. It looks like most of their follower base on
FB and Twitter might be made up of designers. And as I said other FAA artists are in the mix.

The tenth county they mention could be from Central America, I do not know. Or Brazil was down the list
on SocialBakers and not listed in the top six.

I understand people have the internet, but there are 320 million US citizens and some 40 million Canadians.
South America has a thinner population. Very rural people do not often have the internet. Cellphones etc
possibly more per capita than the US. I do not know.

My point which I am finding hard to make is more about business concentrations. Not so much about who has the internet.


Dave

B proud. Nice work.

Danl,

I truly appreciate that a great deal. Thank you.

Dave

Mike,

Take a cold shower and you will see it better.
