“Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people, who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.” – Steve Jobs

Keep in mind that self-promotion is a leadership skill and it is one worth having. It’s a benefit that every one of us can learn. It’s also an added bonus in our personal and professional lives. We can use it to enhance our credibility as we look to align ourselves with similar initiatives. As we self-promote, we gain more access to networks, people and overall business. We are seen as people who add value.

Here are some ways that we can self-promote ourselves:

People love to share art online. As an artist we need to understand a few things to begin doing our own online promotions.

If you are looking to provide a great visitor experience for the traffic that lands on your website, you need to create a good website landing page. This is the web page on which all traffic to your website lands after being directed from a specific search result, like Google, Bing, or Yahoo, or seeing an online advertisement (banner display), or after clicking a link in an email.

Email lists can be a remarkable away to make profits in affiliate marketing. Email lists are so powerful because they help you build equity in your business. You are not just driving one-time traffic to the highest bidder for a one-time commission. Instead, you are developing relationships with a customer base that comes to see you as a trusted advisor. They will make you money in the short run, and they will make you money in the long run. Your part of the bargain is to give them quality content and honest advice.
