I saw a post saying follow these under-the-radar artists with less than 5K followers… Uhm. Hi! (Is 5K REALLY under the radar though?) 🤔 - ThreadSky

Wait what? under 5K is what ... ok?

😭

liamsharp.bsky.social•52 days ago

I know, right?

Ah man, I’m an artist and I would love anything over a Thousand! Yeesh. I’m sure glad you’re here though!

artimeus.bsky.social•52 days ago

I wish they would push smaller artists. My spouse would literally die if his artist page got anywhere close to 5k

Tbh, growing an online following is a skill I’ve not really excelled at, and I’ve been trying for over 20 years…

Dude, I have just over 1000 followers and think I’m a celebrity lol. Under the radar. Lol

liamsharp.bsky.social•52 days ago

Also - you just added one more. :-)

kdotstew.bsky.social•52 days ago

Aw💙💙💙

liamsharp.bsky.social•52 days ago

Well precisely! It made me feel like a right failure! 😅

kdotstew.bsky.social•52 days ago

I don’t know about the numbers. Lots of people have so many followers but they don’t actually have anyone interacting or paying attention to them.

Also what even IS the radar these days? Now everyone has their own radar and makes their own choices. Niche just means "dedicated following" 😀

I'm happy with my followers. I think many of them are real people, so quality over quantity.

I guess I'm so far under the radar, I'm sitting in the dark, hitting a pan, and listening to the ping echo off the walls.

Building a following on social media is definitely a tough skill to master. At least for me.

Followers feels like chasing fame. It's not really me. I do art. You like it, cool. You hate it, cool. I'm still gonna do it regardless coz it's part of who I am.

These days we don’t have the publishers to promote us. We have to do it ourselves. And when the job is our livelihood, and keeps food on the table, sadly our ‘reach’ is part of that. No audience, no job. Too small, and I can’t publish or make money from it. But I hear you.

rogue-artist.bsky.social•51 days ago

Yeah, I'm not a business but work as an art director for a small games company, so don't have to chase it. If I was a business, I'd chase the f**k out of it 😉

Plus you artwork is fantastic, so I hope it does the work for you and you don't have to do too much more than post those lovely pics 👍

liamsharp.bsky.social•50 days ago

Thank you! It's not easy, and I'd rather just be working, but that just how it goes these days! Cheers.
