I posted my art on Instagram and forgot about it. 2 years later, I have 30,000 followers. The problem; my followers think I am a sugar daddy or a good time charlie. People like my art but, they or not there for that, they want to get access to my 30000 followers to grow their follower count. "Ain't that a kick in the head!"
Hello Sophie ! Me again ! Just a quick question, I'm going to revive a Instagram account that I barely used. The content is still on visual art although before I was into painting and now in the book illustration business. Before, I never really picked an audience so I have very few followers and a little bit of everyone there. Should I revive the account and pick a clear audience or start over according to you ? Thank you so much !
Thank you for your informative video. I'm trying to get away from social media and build a different way of selling again. Pre-covid i was selling at galleries, etc, but then I had to take a long break and only just started up with painting again. Last time, i relied on social media to reach galleries, but i am now driven away from those platforms mostly because of the AI training from our uploads. I have further read that the art is still not safe from AI scraping even on our own websites. Do you have any recommendations for that at all?
Thank you so much Sophie ! I was so lost with my 5 boats. I knew I had too much but couldn't choose because I get board so easily on long terme things. Also I felt like choosing meant sacrificing something, instead of just empowering one of them.
Your advice on choosing content areas is spot on. I've been doing something similar and recently added boost app social to my toolkit. It helps by enhancing my posts and really making my artwork pop on social media.
Pinterest. I did a year contract working for a gold award winning interior designer. They used Pinterest all the time for acquisition for their fit outs. For me it's a no brainer.
Great video Sophie. I'm in the middle of making my website and working with SEO. Can you help me/give me a hint in the right direction about making prints. What do I have to do with the photo I take from my painting to get it printed in the same size as the painting? I will definitedly check out the video's and tips you mentioned and I am looking forward to your video about pinterest.
Oh that will depend on what you offer and who your target market is (and where they might already be hanging out). I cover all this is other videos here on the channel...:)
If someone knew how to make money from their art they would be doing it. Make money from "ride the trend"!? What does that even mean? Lol all they do is talk in commonsense vagueness. Make art that people want? Wow I never thought of that. Talking but not saying anything.
Hi Sophie 😊 Great video! Making decisions as an artist can be so overwhelming when there is still so much to learn. Your video was clear and to the point! Thank you ❤
I use a colour monkey, you lay it over your screen and it calibrates it to set (true) colours. That way what you see on the screen comes out on a print. It’s not perfect but made a big difference in me being able to colour correct for printing myself versus paying someone else.
This was an amazing video. Thank you so much!!!!You are talking about ways to market my Art I would never have thought of. I’m an Abstract Artist having trouble finding my Audience. Let me know if you have anymore ideas. I need help.
