Social Media - Artist Page and Groups

If you're on Facebook, an easy next step is to create an artist page for your business. You can post photos of your own work, creations from your circles and your classes, post inquiries, and invite friends to "like" your page. As you host events, you can promote them by posting an Event invitation from your artist page, and share that on your personal page and in local groups. 

A way to let folks easily find that page is to add it as a "workplace" and a link will show up on
your profile page! Here's a video which shows how! 
My page is Nadya's  Atelier, and if you click on the link, you'll see some of the ways I use it. (I have several pages for my various "hats," massage, harp, Reiki and Qigong) 

One suggestion is to post on a regular schedule, say Monday, Wednesday and Friday. If you have a blog, you can put up a link to a recent post, or one that's timely. You can also share invitations to Shiloh's and out RT sisters online offerings, short videos, etc. 

Once you're offering circles and classes, you may also wish to start a group for your beloveds, and add them as they attend. You can set it as private, and set basic groundrules.
You may decide to keep it local, or add other women as they express interest. Again, you can post events from your group (though the invitation will only go to group members) or share events you've posted from your artist page. 

Invite gals to get involved by posing inquiries and inviting them to post. Here's our local group, which is mainly for Creatives in our area. I offer invitations to WIP Wednesday, to post in both our group and the RT cafe classroom, share event and other information.
Down the road, you can also create a group for an online class, like Amber's "Women Unleashed"  

Creating an Artist Page and linking it to your personal page is a good first step in extending the Red Thread to beloveds, and sharing what you have to offer. This is also a way to begin to tap into your own Soul Work, what are your beloveds hungry for? What do you have to offer?

Here's the "about" blurb for my page:
Transforming stories and lives through Intentional Creativity® 
Ate-lier 
noun \a-tal-'yā\ A room where an artist works
