I want to thank everyone for help who has been giving me feedback about my business cards. I also went to an online chat about business cards the other night at Self Representing Artists (www.ebsqart.com). It was interesting. I learned about the chat at Alyson Stanfield’s Art Marketing Blog, (www.artbizblog.com).

It is amazing, inspiring and overwhelming how much information and support there is out there on the web. Just amazing! People have been extremely helpful to me as I have getting my blog set up and taking my marketing to another level.
I want to get a newsletter going to keep in touch with my collectors, current and potential. All the advice I have seen says this is a great idea. I have been looking around trying to make decisions – things are not clear to me. When I looked into blogs, it was clear I wanted to use WordPress. I am so glad I did!
But with the newsletter project, I don’t see which way to go right now. It would need to be inexpensive – otherwise it wouldn’t make sense right now. I am not sure why I shouldn’t just ask people for names and emails and then send the list from my email program.
I welcome hearing what others have decided for themselves or what they have researched. Be great to get a topic going discussing this. Thank you!

I came to the same conclusion today! So far I’ve tried GetResponse, Aweber, and just today… Campaigner. So far I like Campaigner’s interface the best, but I had trouble with their optin form and decided to just have a separate email address that people can send to and they get an automated response back. K.I.S.S. is what they taught me in teacher school!
Yes, there is enormous support for helping people set up websites and blogs – the marketing help is most incredulous.
