Resource ThuRsday #3: Infographic Fave #1
avatar

Social Media Content Infographic
(thanks to www.gailperry.com)

Are you in love with infographics like I am?  Over the next few ArtSpark Resource ThuRsdays, I’m going to share some of my favorites.

What makes this infographic a favorite?

  • Visual clarity
  • Nice clean design
  • The right amount of data (not too much, not too little)
  • Icons (recognizable)
  • Color
  • Minimal scrolling

I actually really LOVE this infographic because it succinctly describes the social media process from beginning to end (including that it’s a repeating cycle), AND also simplifies what many people believe is a very onerous process.  Wow.

What are your thoughts?  Feedback/ideas?  Is something missing? What are YOUR favorite infographics?

One of the absolutely best parts of ArtSpark’s world is gathering great information from a wide variety of great people.

Starting today, we’re launching “Resource ThuRsdays,” a weekly post featuring a couple of hand-picked resources pertaining to #artists, #arts, #sustainability, #fundraising, #socialmedia, #analytics, #technology, and other #coolstuff.  We’ll add our 2-cents, which may include “the good, the bad, and the ugly,” depending on the ThuRsday.  We also welcome guest posts, so please climb on board with your own resources, ideas and opinions (including comments).

ArtSpark Resource ThuRsday for February 28, 2013:

Beth Kanter

1.  Beth Kanter’s slides from a webinar by charityhowto.com this morning on “Simple Steps for Measuring Social Media Results” – Beth’s take on measuring the impact of social media for nonprofits is unparalleled, IMO, and the suggestions are equally sound for artists.  Really liked her “crawl, walk, run, fly” approach throughout the presentation.  There may be a recording to go with the slides, so stay tuned…

 

 

Stephanie Bleyer

2.  Post by Stephanie Bleyer released yesterday (2.27) on Creative Capital‘s blog:  “How to Raise Funds for Your Socially Engaged Project, Part 3: Funding from Other Sources.”  This GREAT blog post is astute and passionate.  Stephanie also gets it from an artist perspective since she’s a filmmaker. Especially enjoyed her take on crowdfunding (she doesn’t like it because it takes so much time) and her suggestion to check out grantmaker affinity groups.

Enter 2012!!!

It’s been three (3!) years since ArtSpark was hatched (for real) rather than remaining a vision and aspiration.  Every year we’ve had triumphs and mistakes, yet ArtSpark has stayed true to its mission of “igniting widespread creative expression.”  The wild … Continue reading

Learning Web Analytics = Fun (or is that an oxymoron?)

Yes!  IF web analytics are introduced in a webinar by none other than Matt Garcia from Aspiration Tech.  Granted, learning about click through rates and bounces and what graphs of users look like is akin to an unbearable math class … Continue reading
