15 reasons you need to embrace social media as a creative person

Social media has taken the world by storm (or at least a small proportion!) In recent years. As a successful creative freelancer, you risk being trampled on by shock unless you get up and accept all it has to offer.

Here is my list of why you need to make use of social media sites like Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter:

1. To bring you admirers, fans and followers of your work.

2. As a source of inspiration for others in your field.

3. For constant and regular free exposure

Four. To advertise events such as gallery shows in the real world.

5. Establish a network of professionals who can support, inspire and teach you in your industry.

6. To attract traffic to your site

7. Improved indexing of your site / s and therefore your name in search engines.

8. To stay on top of your industry (what are the trends, what are other people saying?)

9. To build a good relationship and establish and build business relationships.

10. Maintain contact with former clients.

eleven. Provide a market for your products (such as artist prints)

12. Improve the level of their work, allowing freelancers to share work with others (that is, we want to show good work).

13. To spread referrals to and from others

14. To facilitate direct marketing

fifteen. By creating followers, you increase your value (at least perceived value) when viewed by potential customers

And there you have it, although I think there are many other benefits of social media platforms to promote your work.
