The best way to market is through social networking in my opinion because you can literally find who wants what especially in a network dedicated to artist’s.
I am currently working on a site which is dedicated to promoting all types of artist’s, although i’d prefer to keep things classified on yahoo answers, if you’d like to learn more, just send me a message.

Michael asks…
Anyone got experience dealing with marketing job scams?
I applied for a job and got call back straight away the next day asking me to come for an interview, the job seemed to be too good to be true.
Clearly it is as after doing further research and speaking to a few people I’ve learnt it’s basically an over glamorised door to door job, on commision. If you google “pure solutions direct scam” you will see what I mean. I’ve heard lots of stories and I think I’ve got off luckier than some by cancelling my interview. Maybe that type of career is good for some but it isn’t one for me!
Any personal stories so I can spread the word? I was thinking of starting up a Facebook group as a warning to people, so that if they go for the job they know what they’re really getting themselves in to if they go for this.
