    Hi, my name is Thomas, and I’ve built several large followings on almost every social media platform, with several different brands, in a number of different niches. And in this video, I’m going to show you exactly how I did it, and what I’m currently doing, to gain thousands of followers every single day.
    This is by FAR one of the most difficult things that artists struggle with - and is absolutely crucial to building a large, passive income stream online. So today I’m going to share my experience with you and show you how you can start laying the groundwork to begin growing your online presence. I’m not selling you a course, I’m not trying to get you on a mailing list, I truly believe that anyone can do this - and if this video even helps one person, I’ll consider that a victory.
    This is Part 2 of a series where I’m teaching digital artists how to create a life-changing amount of passive income online. The final episode - where I’ll be teaching you how to actually start generating a ton of sales, will be releasing sometime next week, so don’t forget to subscribe!
    Now, most of you are probably in the same situation. You’ve been posting for weeks or even months with little to no results on your social media page. How come? What exactly is going wrong?
    The reality is - Just posting art isn’t going to cut it anymore, there are hundreds of thousands of artists lazily uploading their art to social media every single day, and gaining literally 0 traction - so what is the secret? How are people like myself and other creators growing big accounts so easily? Well, I’ll get to that, but let's start off with answering some questions you may be thinking to yourself.

      Not necessarily, to grow on social media sure but studios are always in look for new 2d or 3d artists. It can also be as simple as reaching to an arist you like music video director and ask for a gig. Most people get locked in the box of just making art but forget to network and thats why it becomes hard :p

    Unfortunately, the real issue is that when these types of videos come out, they get clicks and they get people to watch the entire video, because all artists online are trying desperately to figure out how to actually make money, but these videos don't actually tell you what to do.
    They talk about idealism, and link you to their products or teaching videos (also real easy to buy), which makes these videos just a large advertisement.

    surprised that people are saying that this video doesn't teach you anything, i agree with a lot of the points in this video-there isn't a concrete 'checklist' for the things you need to do in order to grow. making content on youtube is really hard and for a long time i thought that posting videos on a specific time, using a lot of irrelevant tags, and improving my SEO would help me. sure, these may help, but ultimately it's your brand that makes people stay
    i've never seen a channel that relates art to business like this before, great job! :)

      I think people can get upset when they don't have their own beliefs validated when they watch these type of videos.
      Lots of people watch these videos to try and find a quick answer and get very bitter when they're told its going to be a lot of hard work, and you can't just be an artist.
      The irony is people make comments like 'they just want to make art, not become a marketer' but - they clicked on a video titled 'how to gain 1000 followers a day' so they clearly have some level of interests in the first place - they're just upset no one is spoon feeding them the answer to their issues.

      Think big. You can do it.
      I've been trying to build a community focused on helping artists connect and collaborate on projects, the idea is that users can assign themselves roles, like artist, voice actor, director, writer, etc. And various genres that they're interested in, in order to find the people that they want to work with and create with.
      I know I'm still far from making that a reality. But it's GOING to happen.
      I think the kind of mindset people need to stay motivated. The hope that their dream will come true, and the faith that it's going to.
      So keep your head up, soldier! Because, I have a feeling that business of yours isn't going to be small for much longer. :)

    I think the biggest issue with social media is that unless you're already popular, it's almost impossible to get any eyes on your content. Getting 0 views, 0 likes, 0 retweets, you'll quickly get buried in latest search results. Whether you're posting quality content, engaging content, or consistent content, the result is generally the same. It's easy to get depressed and give up, and lose the joy of art in the process, when the entire system is stacked against you.

    • @duvalkMAS
      @duvalkMAS Před 3 lety +7

      There are other ways to get eyes on your work. Sometimes commenting and interacting with an artist that you admire is helpful. You should try commenting on one of your favorite artist's posts, especially if they engage with you. I don't know how may times I've looked at a profile of someone that commented something interesting on a post of an artist that I follow and ended up following that person if I liked their stuff. this works best for Instagram. But most of all you should have your profile and posts set up so that they look solid. Often times when I go down a rabbit hole of looking at someone like I described I'll see that they have only a handful of posts or their posts don't look very refined that doesn't mean the art I mean the post itself, like they photographed something and the lighting was bad or they didn't color correct, crop, or clean up their art before posting. Also, make sure your thumbnail looks good, preferably a clear image of your art.

    • @kiraeckard7625
      @kiraeckard7625 Před 2 lety +3

      @@duvalkMAS Agree. I have lots of success with gaining attention by engaging with artists around the same size as me. You have to support your fellow artists if you want them to support you back. Same thing with just regular folks that like your art regularly. Acknowledge them in some way and thank them for the support-even if its just in a story post. People like being appreciated and it will encourage them to continue to like and comment if they feel noticed.
      To add something else I've also noticed is that people like eye catching stuff. Black and white stuff does better if you have good line art with bold lines and good detail, But most of the time-the most popular stuff is colorful or has pops of color. I See a lot of people who do do traditional drawing will add pops of color somewhere to draw the eye
      For example, one person I follow draws in pencil. They often put color accents around their background, such a simple pink square. Or they'll add it to their accessories. Or, if something is NSFW, they'll use a pink shape to censor it. The color isn't on every post, but you can definitely see a trend of those sorts of posts getting more traction. They utilize a lot of what @duvalkMAS said about having a solid and consistent profile. Their art is clean and they have that consistent look to it. Everything has the same lighting, sketch lines are cleaned up, and it looks refined and consistent from afar.
      This is something I myself need to work on, but its easy to see how much better these well-off profiles look in comparison to mine with miss-matched lighting and a variety of styles. My profile is just for fun, but I've managed to get a small following just by engaging with my audience and making my art a little more eye catching. Sorry this is long, but hope this helps out any future readers! There's lots of good advice in these comments. Keep practicing, even new artists can do well with a good profile!

    In terms of the whole point of the start of the video, yknow the whole make something worth following thing. As an artist if what you’re trying to do is splash art and character design, a good thing to do to practice is quick sketch sessions. There are pose generators online that will give you a new pose every say 10 minutes for example, this means you can draw the human body 6 times in an hour, shorten that and now it’s 12 in an hour. All those drawings add up and lead to progress. If you’re a landscape artist and want something similar idk anything about that but if any one finds anything please notify me I’d love to use it myself 🙏

    It's not uncommon to see industry veterans with almost no online presence. Or people with 100k+ followers that struggle to make a ends meet. If you're desperate for followers in the short term you're probably failing to ask yourself how you ACTUALLY plan on making a living. Sure its fun getting likes and seeing your follower count tick up, but how are you going to actually put food on the table for yourself. One of the best pieces of advice I got while I was at school was "likes don't keep your house warm or feed your family". It made me not care about the little numbers at the top of my profiles and actually start thinking about where I want to be in 10+ years. Be consistent. Admit to your weaknesses. Improve. Acknowledge how far you've come and how much further you have to go. Take breaks if you need to. But don't give up

      @AnniePharm Před 3 lety +5

      @@disaster4550 Even starting entrepeneurs have to know how marketing works. The fact you think only popular people need it is wrong. If you want to be, idk, an Instagram artist, you can use marketing techniques to increase your following:
      market research is probably the most important one: what do other artists often do? what kind of content do they like? check your instagram hashtags and use them wisely, if you use hashtags that are too general (example #anime) you'll compete with artists that have a huge following and will never stand out. You often have to use less popular hashtags where you have less competition.
      What's trending, what do people like? What kind of colors, style and work gets you more likes?
      What time should you post your stuff according to your follower's actvities?
      These are decisions that have everything to do with marketing and the fact many artists think being famous just implies posting art and nothing more is what makes them fail. Big artists many times started with fanart of trending characters or series, or following a very particular style that pretty much is attached to their brand as an artist. You need to offer value to the people who follow you, because consumers and followers don't care about your story if you don't care about them first.
      Hope this was useful to you. I repeat: you don't need to have a huge following to start doing marketing. This is a misconception and it seems you're simply trying to stay in your comfort zone.

      look at what the artists with big followings are posting… read their comments and see what people like/dislike… you can post videos of the process as well it doesn’t have to be finished art. maybe even random sketches/practice stuff. 5 minute art challenges. trying out different art styles/mediums.

  • @creatorsteven
    @creatorsteven Před 6 měsíci

    I'm gonna put my insights here, probably buried in a comment section, but!
    To be a successful artist, I feel like you gotta "be" an artist.
    And not just like be creative in your art, but leverage your creativity to solving those problems too.
    Art is so much about communication, through what you create, and if you can create things that resonate with people, you're half way there.
    Creating videos, creating a hit series, creating a masterful book, create creative ways to get your name out there. Think of these great artists out there who do things that catch attention. How do they identify those things to do? It's all about the people who see it.
    The challenge is getting there. Mastering your craft, and putting yourself out there.
    Because there are opportunities out there. You just gotta work hard to be able to do what they require of you.
    I've failed many artistic endeavours, but I've also kept trying and kept learning, and each time I get a little further.
    Don't waste time. The secret sauce is your art ^^

    But how to make quality content consistently? It seems like you can have quality but you won’t be consistent. Or consistency but you won’t have quality. I have no time in my day so my CZcams channel really suffers due to the time I spend trying to make actual quality.

    • @ZurditaDinamita
      @ZurditaDinamita Před 2 lety +1

      consistency doesn't mean you have to post each 3 days, you mark your own rhythm. You can post each 15 days for example, and be consistent if you don't miss an update. CZcams is specially permissive with "long" rest periods, if you come back with a GOOD video.

  • @linchantho9748
    @linchantho9748 Před rokem

    Great insides you have here! Creating "good content" is still a mystery to me. It really bugs me on the content side of instagram, times and times I have seen a lot of great art works yet they don't have much followers, and anyone would agree their "content"/artworks are better than some of the big accounts with over 10-50ks followers. Makes me wonder if on Instagram "good content" doesn't necessarily means good art in terms of skills and quality sometimes? And I notice accounts with repetitive images sometimes gained more followers, but as artists we want to grow, and avoid staying in the comfort zone, or creating art for follower's sake. But then creating art in of itself is time consuming especially we want to pursue a certain quality, not just quantity. All of these factors are very frustrating for many artist. It might have something to do with having a center idea behind all the art we posts? Or some sort of them?
    I'm curious what's your thoughts and experience on this part.

He recommends content batching about 30 pieces of content a month, 10 in each pillar, that's 30 followers a month. Blows because if it takes you 5 hours to finish a piece you're looking at investing 150 hours of work for 30 followers a month, I don't know how actionable that advice is.

I just post shorts or if I'm up for it "topic videos" if my stutter is my friend that day.
