Collaboration...

It started with a talk with Giusy Di Rocco.  Did you know you can put on your Artist's Studio page work-in-progress as well as just finished artdolls?  Which resulted in not only me receiving some images from Giusy, she also sent me some short work-in-progress videos she had made.

Now, for your Artist's Studio page, I can only upload images to it.  BUT... (and I love that word because it usually means there is more to come *lol*) that got us thinking.

The videos could be uploaded as tutorials under our Tutorial section of the website... especially because tutorials can be linked to other sites, like your own website.  BUT --- that sparked another idea.  If we're doing videos, why not get them on the IADR YouTube Channel?

This is where collaboration comes in.  Right now Giusy and I are working on a video for just that purpose.  YouTube is looking for longer videos and this platform is still a great way to found.  Now back to your Artist's Studio page.  I may not be able to download videos to your page BUT --- I can download an image with the link in it to the YouTube video.  Do you see the cross marketing?  You have an option to be in our website in the Tutorial section which can be linked to another site.  You have the option to be on the IADR YouTube channel individually (not part of a group video) which links back your Artist's Studio page.  And your Artist's Studio page is an active tool for you being seen.  It is amazing what a little collaboration can do together!
