Tips for Understanding Social Media
1. It takes time and patience to build a Social Media audience – this does not happen overnight
2.Present as the professional • As Picasso said, "Good artists copy, great artists steal." See what format, appearance,
and platforms are used by the people whose careers you admire and get inspired.
3. Use social media to show your talent, instead of just talking about it.
4. Use Social Media to follow artists/companies that inspire you. Directly engage with galleries or organisations
5. Understand different channels have different audiences
6. Use social media for social proofing
7. Numbers don’t matter – content is king!Inspired by: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/carlota-zimmerman/how-artists-can-use-socia_b_4756824.html

Tips for Understanding Social Media
8. Social Media is not free – it takes time and effort
