This could be you.... Custom Pet Portraits
Custom Pet Portraits by, the artist, Alissa F....
Idea / Example
Custom Pet Portraits by, the artist, Kristen Bowen.
Website: http://www.doghousepetportraits.com
Blog: http://doghousepetportraits.wordpress.com
Advertising: Facebook. Use the idea of facebook advertising that I gave you on Twitter (How to sell art / crafts on Facebook). She did a few free portraits for a few people on the web / Twitter and have them link her blog from their blog site. Here's an example http://www.dooce.com/daily-style/2010/08/09/custom-pet-portraits
This thing is so damn easy. People all over the world send you pics of their pet and you do the portrait, etc. You get full payment before the job or half before the job, and the balance after the job is completed. They pay for the postage, packing and insurance. You should also have an ebay store, etc. You can do it. You need to focus on one thing at a time. Emulate what she does. Use the Facebook advertising idea I gave you. Sort out the Meta Tags, Keywords, and Description for your blog and website. Get it optimized. Search Engine Optimization is very easy. Then, add the YouTube video clip and Flickr pics of each completed projects on your blog. Here's an example Tyrant's Flickr stream: http://www.flickr.com/photos/tyrantcam || See the Flickr photo display and YouTube video on a blog / website: http://www.joinaproperties.com/id61.html || For the "Custom Pet Portraits Services", it would be best if you have Flickr Pro. || So, you need: Facebook (Fan Page, and Facebook's NetworkedBlog. Add you blog there), Twitter ..... you already have two accounts, YouTube page, Blog (WordPress or Blogger/BlogSpot).
SEARCH ENGINES: See info above.
RSS Feed Burner http://www.feedburner.com || Feeds are a way for websites large and small to distribute their content well beyond just visitors using browsers. Learn how it works and use it for your site and blog.
Create Facebook Fan Page. Add your blog to Facebooks's BlogNetworks http://apps.facebook.com/blognetworks ,,, then add the two scripts to your blog / website.
If you need e-commerce store, the link is above on this page. ProStores is very easy to setup.
Anything else you want to know about online marketing, follow this blog and especially, this page.
