Yamile Yemoonyah, Websites & Marketing for Artists

How I got my first 3 customers and the steps for you to do the same.

Yamile Yemoonyah

Websites & Marketing for Artists

I went to 4 colleges in 3 different countries before I dropped out to become a full time artist. Around that time Myspace was the biggest social network and when I joined and uploaded images of my art, I got a lot of positive feed back.

So I decided to sell my art online instead of offline. I set up my first website and began to learn everything about WordPress, social media, SEO and all the other stuff you need to know to run a successful online business.

Then I started sharing what I had learned on my blog and people came to me for help.

That's when I decided to use all this knowledge and build a business around helping other artists sell their creative work online as well. So I founded http://CreativeWebBiz.com

First I helped a few artist friends for free and they recommended me to their friends who became my first paying customers.
