Note from Jon: I talk to a lot of bloggers who’d love to spend more time painting, storytelling, photographing, or some other creative pursuit, but don’t, because they feel it’s not pragmatic. And that’s sad, because it can be. Just as a blog can build buzz around a book or business, it can also be used to promote your art.
Regardless of your passion, you’ll find someone in Leanne’s list you can use to inspire your own success. I also urge you todownload The Rebel Artist’s Manifesto. It’s free, and it’ll give you one extra kick in the butt to get you started.
You’ve watched artists, performers and writers like Hugh McLeod, Amanda Palmer, Chase Jarvis, and Jeff Goins sell boatloads of creative work thanks to the platforms they have built from their blogs.
You tinker with your own creative projects and wonder if you could use a blog to promote them too.
But despite all the blogging advice out there, you sense that blogging for art is different.
