This first one is an overview of how Etsy works and how to get started in a general introduction.

Welcome to the first edition of Make Your Mark. Today we talk about why you should have your own website to showcase your art and photography, even if you are selling online already through other companies, venues or websites.

This is a very basic podcast, if you already have a site that focuses on your art branding you might not want to listen, but if you are new and need direction, you are involved in sites like CafePress, Imagekind, Etsy or eBay, you will want to hear this.

After you listen to this podcast, I recommend you listen to:
Affiliate ABCs – Website Basics. This podcast talks about basic pages every website needs, whether you are an affiliate or an artist/photographer starting a website.

For those of you just joining us here is the intro podcast. And be sure to follow us on Twitter!
