Top Tips to Grow Art Career Online with Fine Art Social Media Guru 

As an art buyer, I personally don't need to see what the artist looks like, or even know much about them. It's cool to have a bit of mystery. Sometimes seeing too much about them exposes that they too are just ordinary people trying to make a living and not higher beings magically channeling some powerful thing from the ether. It might make the work come down a few notches in one's mind.

For artists needing a quick course in marketing today, 71 minutes well spent.

This is great for artists to understand about attitude and first impressions. I think the message is misunderstood that social media is the only way and only thing you should be doing. What he is saying is that instead of waiting around to be discovered you can utilize tools to make a living for yourself doing what you love. Be yourself be confident and dont be afraid to put your work and yourself out there. How can you expect to learn if you don't open your mind to other ideas and perspectives?

Your video validates everything I've been doing myself and saying to people for the last 3-5 years. I use Instagram, FB, Twitter, etc. HOWEVER, I found you via RU-vid, your on RU-vid, my last gallery used RU-vid (more than any other site) and I've gotten sales and continue garner a solid buyers and fans thru RU-vid. Pinterest the same thing.

I saved this video on our other channel so that other people interested in art or fellow artists would benefit from this awesome video.Again I need to watch this video as often as possible. I don’t want it out of sight.Thank you so much M.Cuffe for sharing your wealth of knowledge with the public.👍 Cheers

I completely agree that as an artist, you must have your artworks disaplyed online so more people can see your art and talent. Unfortunately, still a lot of artisits, especially older ones who are not so good at technologies still have against attitute to do so. Disaplying your art on Internet and social medias is an essential precondition to reach your career success, artists should understand more knolwedge of marketing, and a attractive personality is also important, and with some luck, artists can reach success

One of clearest most helpful lectures I have seen.Thank you

Michael Cuffe, I must say, without reservation, your style, your manner, your persona and your values are very inspiring. I applaud & admire you for someone barely over 30 yrs old, you emanate a polished-successful vibration, which translates as confidence and eagerness for more. If I owned a business, I would definitely hire you to train my employees, because your message in this video isn't just about art, it can be applied to any career. I really like your "aware" approach. For someone so young and together, you're VERY wise, and extremely pleasant to look at (eye-candy). thank you for sharing!

Thank you! I`m getting started in the whole marketing myself thing and so far it's been really insightful ^_^

Very interesting talk! Greetings from Italy

Agnes cecile is a good example of someone who doesn't put her life out there. She used social media and has her journey uploaded but nothing really personal

Thanks, I enjoyed this very much!

I really like your talk; really helpful and inspiring!

Thank you for sharing this awesome video that was very helpful for me, as an artist who is starting off.

Thank you very much,an Artist

Is it true that whole thing comes down to how to selling yourself as an artist( either fine art, music, special f/x artist). This genre some don't like the term it's a job.

Really enjoyed video, very invaluable. Thanks for sharing. Your tips will be applied-will definitely visit your website.

Fantastic!

Very nice. Thank you!

Very informative thank you I'm sure this will be useful

Super inspiring, useful, thanks

Relevant marketing information for the artist with overview and how to. Kudos to Academy of Art, NY, relevancy makes for excellent, sustainable institutes of higher learning! Any insight on marketing artspecifically is good information and always needed. Would like more info on what goes into that FedEx package to the art gallery, i.e. what constitutes well done art image copies, what size, how many to a page, xeroxed, etc.?

After much searching, I have found a well informed and clear lecture!

great advice, thanks

Thank you 🙏

Thank You.....

Bravo!

compelling strategies. What's your prediction about the future of social media? This highlights some monetary uses for these well-known outlets.

very informative ! thanks

Great!!!

This guy is good!... period...

nice sharing

Good info.☺

Fave line, "Galleries...Are just people who own buildings..."

Cool stuff :)

Fantastic advice! thanks for sharing

Unique, unrepeatable experiences are not much in the way of learning useful, applicable life lessons.

Good information, thank you for the content. As an artist I was following Charmaine Olivia's art, looks like she started taking some heavy drugs, her art is gone :(

Thank you for an inspiring and instructional lecture. It's very generous of you to share this information. I'm going to listen to this over and over

What's the company where they do fine art prints called?

Inspirational and well spoken. Thank you!

If you are a realist artist, how do you get gallery representation when most galleries are into abstract art?

You have a website with Andy Warhol's name?

Does the facebook advice still apply in 2019?

I work with emerging artists building their brands and confidence.How much have I sold in my art .Over five million dollars in original oils.

💙💙💙

....a study in ADHD, a collection of disjointed, in-cohesive thoughts. Some informative bits of knowledge, but the presentation leaves a lot to be desired. I think my ears finally went numb.

I created an artist Facebook page but after thinking I published it, I have never been able to find it. I've asked for help from Facebook but have never gotten a response. What do I do ?

Very Informative video. What about artists like me with a good skilllevel but are cutious about putting yet because they feel as if they still have alot to learn? Great video nevertheless

Amazing advice. Thank you

What do you do about all the theft that comes with putting your pictures picture pictures on the internet?

As pf 2022 Facebook is dying. Please update your talk

Some good advice, but only for the young and attractive (she could be a brand; she is being approached by clothing companies)

And when exactly do you make art? Sounds like one has to spend all day just managing the umpteen million social media things. I bet you can choose a couple of favorite ones and rely on search engines to help you be found.

Someone is sleeping so deep in the auditory😂😁😪😪😪

Twitter now is probably the best place for art, Facebook is trash unless you want likes instead of work.. Instagram I dislike because they auto crop and blur your images.

1 major issue with facebook , insta, etc etc are the endless nonTalented people who promote heavily. You can easily find someone who's art looks completely amature and is basically crap who has 2400 likes on a Facebook page. For some this amount of 'fans' gives the illusion that 'hey he/she must be really talented'' even tho the work is horrible, even laughable. There is a market using facebook etc, - but 90% of your 'likes' are just people who like to look at it. And they'll never buy it most of the time. It's important to understand the massive difference between true real talent and great art - as opposed to someone who just overSocial Media's their image to death constantly pursuing likes. The Facebook reality is like a double edged sword. His ''all of you here are talented'' line early on is incorrect. This is part of the problem. Only about 20% of Artists are actually talented in art. And as i keep watching this vid after the 50 minute mark ( came back to it ) .... the speaker here is selling his ideas a bit , he's selling the kimKard type of way that fame is what sells as much as Art. Charmaine Olivia does sell her looks. No doubt whatsoever that half or more of Charmain's likers // fans etc are just guys looking at her body . She's a decent artist - But a real artist is a jeremy mann type - only art is what he shows on his sites, only art. and because he's great, he's a known artist. I love the fact that i can't find much about him personally , tho i'd like to see some process. There's JeremyMann -Artist There's Sylvia Ji, a real artist who does not have to show her body etc to get attention cause she's so talented. Then there's the show offs who wear short shorts and sell their ass. Big difference.

Google+ still hasn't gone anywhere.

Your website doesn’t work on an iPad.

So what your saying is that your making money off of Students. How much in your art have you sold?

Dear Michael I’ve watched your video and I am impressed with the message. I am Fine artist painter and I plan to develop my art career in the way that my artwork will participate in Exhibitions at World galleries and auction houses. What would be the best way for me to make first steps towards above direction? I would be thankful if you could type my name into Google browser and assess my portfolio and post some comments and advice via email twit or G+. Kind regards

Very interesting video. But, honestly, I would never follow anyone on facebook who spams around with 3-5 posts a day(!) That is way too often. 3-5 per week is enough. Just imagine, you get 5 posts from 5 persons every day - that would be 25 messages you have to go through every day. What a waste of time. Sorry...

Interesting, make money from your art! Utilizing Social Media...

soy junior lazo dueno de juniormania555 sigue con tus consejos estan chingones necesitamos seguir aconsejando gente para que el arte nunca muera por que en estos dias la gentecre todo de lo que ya esta creado ''lo que existe en los smart phones''

I notice this artist charmine is a very pretty girl women in the interenet are popular especially if their pretty she do not need to show her work just she herself and the art will sell along with her. hey I bet mostly male audience watch her.

***** while watching this video, I found it to be very informative! In regards to promoting your artwork on social media do you recommend a website called deviant art?

NFT’s get noticed often on Twitter.

hello

Step one: facebook.com/michaelhagerpainting

12:52 :D thanks

Anyone know how relevant this is now, 2021/22? Surely toxic Facebook is no longer so crutial? Tumbler was never a huge thing in Europe, certainly not now. Instagram fine. Twitter remains useless for artists in my experience. Thoughts?

Academy of Art University? Aren’t the words Academy and University somewhat synonymous? University of Art Academy . Silly name.

Maybe just one more button?

i want to be a film director lol how about that

pitchers pitchers pitchers pitchers

the reason google+ failed is its name.
