BATS LEADER REPORT 12 November 2012

Tonight we covered the purpose and importance of a blog.  A blog is one way to build value to your craft and your credibility in your field.  I recommend if you have a website or blog, keep it fresh, innovative, interesting and up to date.  My recommendation for a website is to update it as often as it is necessary for it to serve the intended purpose.  You can update monthly or weekly if you want to have superior results.  Too many artists websites are several years out of date.  Too many artist use a website as a way of checking the box or as a tool to temporarily improve status.  These artists miss out on the opportunity to maximize their results with an awesome website that tells a powerful story and provides quality images and information. A blog gives your audience the inside track of your thought process, ideas and the behind the scenes story of why you do the craft you do. A blog is an opportunity to share information that can build your credibility in your craft.  A blog can be your electronic newspaper or it can be a journal that you let selected fans peer over your shoulder and watch you write.
