Goal: Come out of no where using free services, sell two original paintings and 5 prints in 30 days or less.

First I need to establish accounts using the following services:

Yahoo Email:   _____________________________________________________

Flickr (hook to Yahoo Email):  _________________________________________

Imagekind Site: ____________________________________________________

Start A Blog With a New Alias: _________________________________________

Twitter Account: __________________________________________________

Facebook: _______________________________________________________

MySpace: _______________________________________________________

Squidoo: ________________________________________________________

Paypal: _________________________________________________________

This is the check list I am starting with.  I offer it to those of you who would like to try the challenge.  You of course will not have to get new accounts for everything.  I am gettng new accounts for everything to prove a point.  When I establish my accounts, I need to fill out a planned profile.  My profiles will all be linked to a well developed artist statement.

In addition to the above you should have a body of work of 30 pieces that you believe the world will want and a killer artist statement.

Good Luck, More on this latter this evening.
