Why only one platform?

​@@Dino-yu4njso you don't get overwhelmed and give up after some time

That's an interesting observation!

Glad it was helpful!

Thank you! Glad the ideas resonate :))

You can actually do both. I musefl don't use a lot of social media for consumption except posting. I post and I'm done :)

@@KeshArt That is a good point! I usually do a lot of art and sketches, regardless of whether they could appear online and/or make a profit or not. ^^

Thank you so much! I really appreciate that :D 🙏

Thank you sir! Means a lot, appreciate it very much 🙏🙏🙌🙌

In a month buddy :)

I sense a lot of frustration in your viewpoint and its completely understandable. And It's true. but so is its opposing viewpoint. New creators who make good content with authenticity will form their following. Some core principles of community, value and connection won't change. It's just the tools we use to gain those might.

Why do people always blame the algorithm, if you make good content people will watch. It may take time but if you are consistent it is possible

James, it’s clear some people will never understand what many people go through when they got it good. It depends on your content. If you new and trying to grow your channel and your speaking knowledge the algorithm will NOT ensure that your video reach people by the masses because your speaking your passion but KZfaq and Facebook definitely will block your numbers and who sees your video and even silence you if you mention certain things. I get you bro and you are correct, and I support your comment… 🫡

Oh yes! U r absolutely right !

?

That would be a "Weekly Dispatch" so no. But it's up to you.

Not at the moment, but soon :)

He is from South India, and he has trouble speaking Hindi

Thats an interesting thought! Would you like to elaborate more on that? I'm curious:)

@@KeshArt an AI can’t show it’s work, just the end product. Artists can show the steps they took to get to the end product. Photos of the subject, sketches, notes, etc. I expect we’ll reach a point where it will be a requirement to sell a creation certified to be human made.

I disagree. I think you are confusing tactics with principles. Tactics are how you do something specific, in a specifc platform(in a specofc context) Principles are how you do everything, which informs the tactics and works with it Each platform has a tactic. Principles are universal. The framework here is a Principle. This is what I've been using to grow to over 850k combined audience over two platforms.

@@KeshArt Sharing something every day is not a universal. I'm glad it has worked for you, but that's because the platforms want people to upload content as regularly as possible, not because it is a universal principle. You are young, so I can imagine that social media platforms might seem like they follow some kind of universal principles, but social media has only existed for about 20 years and it has already changed significantly during that time. Social media follows the design of the people who control it, and they have incentives to reward certain types of behavior. That does not mean that the behaviors it rewards are good for art, good for artists or good for anyone. Are they good for building a social media following? Maybe, for now. Austin Kleon wrote his books in a very specific point in time. Show Your Work was written a decade ago. The social media landscape was different then, and it is changing rapidly.

Most of the time, that's just an excuse. I've had multiple moments on this path where I though I was good but don't get any attention. But in reality, you are just no good enough. There's always multiple factors you need to get good at to get noticed. Might sound harsh, but that's the reality. The alternative won't help much :)

@@KeshArt If that's what you believe. It's why I stated "doesn't work for everyone". It's the delusion that you need to pander to being a social media marketer rather than an artist on social media. I shouldn't have to post on specific days at specific times of day to be seen. I shouldn't have to only create reels or yt shorts to get seen in the algorithm, A person should be able to follow me and see the art I post on their feed. It's the same with yt and their 3 notification setting just for subbing to a person. You are not guaranteed to see the person you sub to so it's a systematic issue not a self issue. I ain't a social media marketer, I'm an artist and I'm not going to learn to compete with an algorithm. Focusing on my craft will get me farther than wishing I had a large following. May sound harsh but that's how I feel. btw. I am good enough. 🖕

Yh

Yeah look at him it's obvious

Yes bro He is Namma thamil payya

Yes we both are from the same Country, named:- Bharat [India].

Yeah

Thanks for your viewpoint. I agree with some while I disagree with others. 1. The idea here is to not "make" content but rather 'make art' and 'document' the process of making art. Ex - Making a comic/or some art project > Document the journey > turn that into content (past, present and future) 2. There's too much focus on the "algorithm" these days and chasing it is only futile. As an artist/educator, I find chasing 'people' like you and finding what some creators call "creator content fit " is much better as of now. 3. Indeed there are 'contextual ways' of showing up on the platform. I see them as best practices rather than rules. You do what you gotta do in a way that fits you, your audience and your personal practice. Plus, most of the ways you describe as to how to act on a platform are assumptions until they are proven wrong. As in, there are creators who are successful who don't act this way. The idea is tonfind your formula which may include ingredients others arnt using and some others are. Thars my 2 cents :) P.s agree on the newsletter front. That has always been my biggest focus.

@@KeshArt I mean we could 'argue' all day about the right/wrong away to use social; there isn't one really as so much depends on the creator/content/platform chosen. Definitely agree 'chasing' the algorithm is futile but like any machine you have to know how it works in order to get the results you want. I don't mean to say your video was useless, I was just thrown - I assumed 'without making content' meant not making content. Maybe change the title to 'how to post daily when your art is slow'? The method of inspo-wip-finished is more useful I think, as well as posting imperfectly as part of a 100 day challenge. 👍
