remember though, this is a do as I say, not as I do scenario, not a single one of my posts have tags (but that's just mainly because I only ever post random shit that comes to my mind and one post about one of the family cats)
It's difficult. I was hoping joining bluesky would make my art numbers skyrocket cus I'm seeing it happen with others. but I think I'm just being too impatient.
Just remember; no views =/= not good. It's also about who can see it. Sometimes someone with a lot of followers signal boosts the post and BAM, mediocre art becomes hugely popular. Meanwhile pristine art sits collecting dust in a corner because the 'right' eyes didn't see it.
That is why I have to temper my expectations on traffic to my stories. I can write the best stories in the world, but I have social anxiety disorder and aspergers sooo, I can't advertise my stories. And if no one knows they are there- no one is going to read them.
Yup, spent half my life writing stories that no one would ever read. Took forever to get the little audience I do have now, and even now it's like... If out of the millions of people on the internet I manage to get 10 likes/favorites I will at least call it a success.
Yea, I added hashtags to some of my posts but never really know what exactly to tag, plus the tight word limit to a post really limits it :X it also doesn't seem to have effected the traffic on those images so its hard to tell if it actually did anything in the first place, lol
Sounds like another normal day for me. I'm too used to it by now. So I just post and make things count even if they don't see it. I'm happy enough posting and seeing my own art. :p
True. Sometimes people forget how big numbers are though. Like people will get sad their art only gets like 30 likes but imagine 30 entire people in a room going “this fucks!” At your drawing
I feel u. I create for the most part to just create but i tend also create because i want to be able to build up an audience so i can create something bigger in the future. Ik that people who make it big overnight are just lucky. For most people, Its gonna take a lot of time to build an audience.
I'm still learning to accept that stats aren't everything. Maybe Bluesky as a change in environment will change things, especially gaining interaction and connection. Not to mention with hundreds of artists!
please never ever let yourself judge your art's worth by the amount of likes you get, your shit is amazing and i would absolutely love to work together sometime!
