How are you supposed to grow on social media as an artist?
>>7855522Start ten years ago
Make fetish porn
>>7855703any recommendations on what to do? deadass
>>7855522hack into a popular account.>>7855706There's a lot of freaks into loon toons shit. like farting and being sucked into a straw. but is it worth it for just followers?
>>7855715yeah, i figured it would be something like that, but i'd be down for anything... and yeah, i don't want just followers, i also need moniess
>>7855522draw somethingpost it on social mediaare you retarded?
>three years uploading weekly to xitter>still haven't reached 100 followersokay, next step?
step 1: make good stuff, post it with a reasonable frequencystep 2: engage with the platform. be social. talk to people. like something? like it. repost it. you want attention? then give attention and receive it in turn. important that you do step 1, else you're just a fan not a fellow.step 3: don't be cringe. tall order, i know.
>>7855782post your socials
>>7855706You need to pick up a fetish you like. I draw women wrestling because it's my kink. People into the subject follow, comm and support me.
>>7855812>I draw women wrestlingthat actually sounds really fun to draw
>>7855760you might be shadowbanned by an algorithm. pyw
>>7855522Post artwork regularly and interact with other artists and people. You don't have to have the best drawing skills, but fun ideas. Took me a decade to grow enough to make it a living (with school and then work in the way) and the people I interact with the most are still those first few friends I met as a beg
>>7855825>make internet friendsIm not 12 anymore
Don't do nsfw you'll get shadowbanned. Softcore lewd gacha or vtubers are your best bet, also be int or above
>>7855522Just from observation, just draw basic bitch stuff like Vocaloids or fanart for the latest popular game
>>7855823God I wish I know how to draw/paint. That's beautiful.
>>7855522Be at least int, get around 10 to 15 of your best drawings, bonus if you have a WIP sketch of said drawings. And reply to almost every artshare, artmoots, small artist post you see with said drawings. Careful you avoid the nft gays and make sure to reply to any "hehe can we be artmoots uwu" fag. Limit yourself to like 3 posts throughout the day. In a week you'll have easily over 100 followers. Then rinse and repeat
>>7855522It's kind of like LinkedIn. You have to make connections and interact with those people.
>>7855522I have this suspicion that if I farmed X twitter like I farmed 4chan I would have made it by now.
>>7855760Post multiple times a day and ideally ragebait
>>7855840>also be int or aboveThere's plenty of dogshit artists driving huge volumes of engagement
>>7855923You're more than welcome to get the fuck off my board.
>>7855522Drwa trendy anime/gacha character in generic sexy post or outfit or current meme outfit.Or draw redrwas of current memes or whatever meme is currently big like the frieren shit.
>>7855522Yapping helps so so much. Don't just post your art, but be social and post your takes about whatever your drawings come from.
>>7855522Pretend you are a girl and draw "yourself" doing gooner bait shit
>>7855522Again, I'll teach this for the last time. >choose some famous Vturber>draw them with their hashtags (#kronillust, #ravencrafts, #callilust)>they will retweet youI've seen at least two 6 month accounts with 40k+ followers with this method. I won't do it because it's humiliation ritual for me, but if you want to grow fast this is the best method. Later you can move to fanart shit.Exampleshttps://x.com/pomuyarthttps://x.com/nyanyaqwi1
>>7856065>get your account banned/shadowbanned because you're getting interaction from bot/spam accounts>get followed and your work scraped by bots as wellAnon, just tell OP to kill himself.
>>7856066Didn't happen to them Are you going to try or are you going to cry? ;3
>>7856070I would rather attempt to kill myself with a teaspoon than to ever contribute to the existence of vtubers
>>7855782Unfortunately back when I did step #2. I stayed in this loop that popular people ignore me. And my only real engagement comes from my followers that have less follow count then me.
>>7856091I actually have a really good advice for this. But it’s better for you to try things and figure it out yourself.
>>7855522spam your art alongside time wasting interaction bait questions on /v/ - video games to reel in one of the dozens of twitter screencap accounts to re-post itworks superb every time, just don't forget to watermark your shit enough that it's not annoying but still enough that it's visible from a glance
>>7856744All he did was make this asshole 50 bucks he probably didn't get a single person actually visit his page.
>>7856091don't go for the big fish when you're just a small fry. find people that are a little under the radar that'll probably love getting nice messages about their art. if people like you, they'll be more likely to reblog your art, just because you "seem nice". it'd be better if you could actually be nice, genuinely, but considering you imply looking down on people with less followers than you, that doesn't seem to be the case. at the very least, learn how to appear affable.>>7856598no you don't
>>7856053>Pretend you are a girlThis unironically
Why do you guys care so much about followers? Focus on your content and if its good you'll get supporters. Its not complicated. If you have 0 followers then post on forums like this and if your art slaps people will ask for your socials. From there you snowball.
>>7857737All of my 2 followers are from 4chud
>>7857737maximum copium
>>7857743Good, the fact that you have 2 means that the system works. Now make your art twice as good and u'll have 4.
>>7857747What part of what I said is compium?
>>7856053It's weird how often I see this as advice to get people to be nice to you online, since I grew up always pretending to be a boy otherwise I'd get shit on and spammed with dick pics
>>7857807Yeah but that was probably before the age onlyfans, patreon and just general easy social media simps.
the only thing that will realistically boost your outreach INSIDE the site's ecosystem is posting consistency, pick a schedule, 2 times a week, once, w/e and stick to it, if you're one of those people (like me) who only posts once a month but not really it's more like one and a half month then don't expect any growth UNLESS you bring some people from outside the side which is the second big thing you should try doingXItter right now as a site is way too big for the average artist to get lucky frequently, consistency is the big thing, this is why you also should do those monthly daily challenge things, from my experience they're consistently the best follower boostsif you apply those 2 things, REAL consistency + bringing people from different apps you should see some growth but results may varyalso whore out on fanart thing, but that goes without saying
>>7858596also some of you seem to forget this but be actually good, like actually make something that someone somewhere will want to look at for more than 2 seconds and mayhaps even spend some moneyread some books on light and color and especially Scott Robertson cause 95% of you niggas can't draw a straight/curved line to save your fuckin life lol
>>7855760I got there as a complete beg by posting a bunch of shitty fanart.
I don't even draw and I have like 1.8k followers. you just have to keep interacting with people on there until you get accepted in the community. start out as a reply guy
>>7855760Respond/interact with other accounts, it makes you more visible and others feel more engaged
>>7858596>monthly daily challenge thingsPlease elaborate, Pepe-sensei.
>>7855522Did you try buying twitter premium?
>>7861833>inktober>mermay>pleinairpril>figuaryjust off the top of my head, they're pretty difficult if you want every entry to look somewhat decent but for exposure posting daily like this in a common challenge is the best option
