Stanfield, the art-marketing guru behind ArtBizCoach.com, shares self-promotion tools that have enhanced the careers of thousands of artists.

I LOVE this book and I am not an artist. The tips and techniques that are shared in this detailed and well researched book are amazing and will help anyone that needs to market themselves. I launched my blog and have done really well with it using the information Stanfield provides in the book. One of my marketing mentors advises to check out what other people in other industries are doing. If you only do what everyone else in your field is doing you will have a hard time standing out. Not being an artist I found this book to have fresh new ideas and concepts with new twist on things I already had been doing. I haven't taken it off my desk since I got it. I keep referring to it and using it over and over.

I bought this book because of all the great reviews even though it was so new on the market. I have to say I haven't been disappointed! The author does a great job breaking down the barriers most of us artists seem to have about doing things like...making a website, organizing our information, etc. She's got a great no-nonsense approach, but does it with a sense of humor. And, some of the things that have haunted me like the idea of marketing, are starting to loose their hold over me. She's a fabulous support in taking the steps laid out to get something done. I would HIGHLY recommend this book. Having a solid foundation as you try and develop your art business is imperative and this book might just be able to help you in ways others don't. It has for me. Plus, I have ADD and find the short sections and easy to read format (a,k.a. easy-to-keep-focused-formatting) help me actually keep focused. :) She knows her market!
