How to Profit from the Art Print Market by Barney Davey – Blogcritics

BlogCritics picked up our book review of Dave Barney’s art marketing book. It’s an excellent read and provides great insights on how to sell printed art. You can read more: http://blogcritics.org/books/article/book-review-how-to-profit-from/

This was an especially challenging piece for us because BlogCritics uses a custom Content Management System (CMS). We are used to WordPress and Joomla, so working with a new interface was…different. But that’s part of the fun – learning new ways of doing things!

So what’s with this “Tara Hornor has a degree” thing? We made the decision many moons ago to include this little phrase in ALL of our guest blogs and featured articles that allow the use of an “About the Author” section.

This lets us run a search via Google or other search engines to track which articles have been published and where. In some cases, we can even track who may be scalping our content (scalpers beware)!

If anybody wants to track which articles we’ve written, simply run a Google search with the phrase “Tara Hornor has a degree” (quotes included) and you’ll be able to see the list!

Keep in mind that this does NOT include every article we’ve been able to get published on 3rd party websites. Some website owners don’t allow us to put an author bio section within our article content. In other cases we author website content on which it would be inappropriate to put an author bio, such as a client’s home page.

So that’s your back story! By using this unique phrase, we get built in tracking of our articles.

We have officially decided to start documenting the articles we have published on 3rd party websites as either guest bloggers or featured article writers! While you can track the work we have done through a quick Google search, we think this will serve a couple of purposes:

  • It creates links to our work on other websites, which improve their search engine rank
  • This allows us to keep a running log of published work
  • We can add extra content to our blog articles on this site that we may not have been able to publish elswhere
