5 Stars Internet 101
I find the paper back copy of rhe book I purchased very encouraging.
There is a lot to read and to absorb. I am reading it slowly.
Thank you for making this book available.
Sincerely Leonard Silvesain, Artist
5 Stars It’s a very easy, specific introduction
If you’re a practicing artist with little computer knowledge, then no easier introduction is available than Internet 101 for Artists, 2nd Edition, which covers everything from setting up email to making money on ebay, acquiring a URL, using meta tags to promote traffic and art, and more. It’s a very easy, specific introduction which goes beyond the usual general computer guide for newcomers to reach directly into the artists’ community.
4 Stars A good resource
This is mostly a great book for people who are ‘net challenged, who haven’t yet joined us in the internet age. It does have some helpful tips for those that are net savvy and just need ideas on marketing artwork online but it’s a better resource for artists who haven’t used the net much.
5 Stars Good for Internet Beginners
This book was easy to read and definitely for beginners. The explanations for e-mail, surfing the web, etc, were simple and thorough. The chapters on designing your web site and selling art on Ebay were extremely good.
I’m not an internet newbie by any means but I’ve read (and liked) most books by ArtNetwork Press so I wanted to give this one a try. While most of the information was way too basic, I did pick up some good tips here and there. I also found that most of the information provided was very up to date with current trends. There were also a lot of helpful links to examples, information sites, etc.
This is definitely a must read for any artist that is not comfortable with their internet skills but want to tap into that marketing venue.
