Twitter and the Indie Artist


As an indie artist, Twitter is a Godsend. Here are different ways to you can use Twitter as an artist:


  • Use Twitter to meet other artists. There's millions of Twitter users...some of them are bound to be artists like you!
  • Use Twitter to announce sneak previews for your products or changes to your website.
  • Use Twitter to announce television appearances. And don't forget any "appearances" on radio, podcasts, blogs, magazines, and newspapers.
  • Use Twitter to gather feedback about your products. Post a new product and let your customers tell you what they think!
  • Use Twitter to communicate with your customers when your website goes down or when you lose your Internet connection.
  • Use Twitter as a survey tool. Need to know what people think about something? Throw the question out there and find out!
  • Do you have an artist's co-op or Etsy team? Create a Twitter account just for that co-op or team to get your group news out!
  • Use Twitter as an information resource for your followers by including links to useful websites and bits of news.
  • Use Twitter to do live reporting at a gallery opening, exhibition, or conference.
  • Use Twitter to give special offers just for your followers...you might even want to create a special, private Twitter account just for this.
  • Use Twitter for inspiration. If you follow interesting people, you'll get a lot of idea and resources that you've never thought about...you can use Twitter for more than just tooting your own horn!
  • Use Twitter to get help. If you have a problem or a question, post a tweet and let your followers come to the rescue.
  • Happy Recording
