Stop wingeing and start being thankful to some of those who offer help! □ I think you have what it takes to do this! I’m not mocking you, I am actually making a suggestion that could help you in your marketing. Maybe you could be “rudest artist trying desperately to get his precious message across” kind of thing. Maybe you could do the anti-marketing thing, such as the restaurant which specialises in rudeness and abuses their customers on purpose–they have become very popular, people are entertained by it–so it’s a huge success, with people lined up to get in. HEY! Yes, that’s a shout, because you’re not being very polite to Cory, when he tried to help you! Lighten up dude! He gave you some good advice, now why don’t YOU follow it? You are the best one to figure out who, if anyone, is the best audience to your art. I use some general ones too, like #oilpainting for example, which is non-geographic.Īn IG marketing analyst will probably have more/better tips so do your research! But this is as far as I’ve gotten so far… So I use #seattleartist #ballardseattle #buildingc alot, among others, to reach out to my city, neighborhood and promote the studio building I’m in. Depends on your goal mine is to build a NW following first right now. I like to mix things up, pick a large one that applies, pick a local one or two that apply, a hyper local/neighborhood one, etc. Maybe another way there?

In your post, if you start typing # + a word, a hashtag list will appear, but you have to know what to start with. Anyone who subscribes to those hashtags or browses them might see my work., like the post, follow me, or buy art at some point…ģ. So if my painting is of some flowers in my garden, I might add the following hashtags/categories: #oilpaintings #urbangardens #seattleartists. So, how does somebody in Maine find my art on Instragram? They search for that category, or “hashtag” on Instagram (& other media). It’s how people navigate millions of posts, by searching, browsing or subscribing to topics or categories they find interesting and the code word for those is “hashtags”.Ģ.Applying it to art. If you use *appropriate and applicable* categories or hashtags, then it’s on point. Hashtags aren’t manipulative or “cutsie” or fake – things of them like the old library stacks. Here’s what I learned, by no means definitive so if others have better advice I won’t be offended! This is focused on Instragram:ġ. I was super confused too until I started experimenting about a month ago.
