How To Get Started as an Artist

Find me on FaceBook Advertise In Any Way You Can Saw this bus in a parking lot and couldn't resist taking a picture.   No matter what you do or how much money you have, advertising is hard work and expensive! Most people have no idea where to start or even how to start for that matter. It's not easy, but I will say that there is a lot a free advertising that is out there. You just have to do some work to find it.   First, I'm going to talk a little bit about 'cheap' advertising. This consists of a few dollars or how ever much you want to put in.
