Re follower counts
My feeling has always been the # next to ur name is not ur self-worth
That said of course artists need gigs, & fans to buy their art & get noticed ergo, they need follows!!
Which is why U should be way more generous w ur follows!
Follow LOTS of artists!!

Some notes:
- chasing “fame” can be very damaging
- Imo there is a difference in trying to gain an audience vs stepping on ppl and acting like you’re better than ppl w lower #’s
- I don’t think # indicates quality or if your art is “better”
- fuck ADs who pay based on #

More notes // To gain audiences
- you do have to play the algorithm game a bit & it changes a lot
- consistency is rewarded
- “content is king” is still the rule
- your voice and POV will set you apart, don’t copy other ppl’s art
- find consistent posting times & frequent it

3rd Notes:
- people often change themselves and their art for their audience. I’m not gonna judge you for that, but I think it’s important to be aware of and try to stay healthy about your relationships w your audience so you don’t burn out it feel trapt....

4th notes
- I don’t think it does good to be jealous of ppl’s follower #’s & be like “why then not me-they suck” ~ a healthier thing would be to look at what they are doing and see what wisdom you can glean for yourself
- but if u do have a lot of # dont be a jerk about it

5th notes:
- There are big downsides to being art famous~ it’s not all
’s ~ petty people can be very cruel, and the # doesn’t always = sales, but it always = art theft
- If u have a big platform IMO u have big responsibility to use it wisely to bring artists UP to the table!

7th notes: in a world of bots & fake follows...
- ENGAGEMENT RATE is more important than sheer number count
- this means if you don’t have big numbers but percentage-wise your followers are 1) real 2) actively engaged with you — it’s equals more monitization ergo very desirable

8th notes:
- honestly doing fan art once in a while definitely is a quick way to get some eyes~ thou I know not everyone want to do it
- a lot of people who get featured submit themselves, don’t wait for someone to notice you~ submit or dm to RT accounts or zines etc// hustle!

9th notes:

- social media is what YOU make it & if it is or becomes toxic for you, recognize that and find out how to make a balance bc TRULY your mental health is really v important
