Interesting. Looks like I was just lucky with never just relying on fb and the likes. Thank god I have my own gallery and can sell my work roughly at the pace I create it.
Love the art you are presenting in this post!

Been able to make a decent living as an artist for 30 years and I'm very thankful for that. Although I represent two jung artists, the gallery is mainly for my own work.
But I organize exhibitions in cooperation with my hometown, like "Phantastische Venus" back in 2015 with 70 female artists from around the world... Friends like Leo Plaw and Peter Gric, like many others of our tribe have shown here too.

I can vouch for Reinhard and the exhibitions in Viechtach. They have been a great success. Collectors now travel from all over Europe and purchase artwork. I have attended many myself as visitor and a few as an exhibiting artist. I too have sold artwork there. AAA+ exhibitons.

The same thing is true for some Steemians. They do well here but if there is no audience anywhere else, it is dangerous... because who knows what will happen to Steem in the next 3-5 years? Even if it thrives, some creators may "fall off" for different reasons.
Good story and lesson, thanks for sharing.

Great information in this. You can also see with all the content creators on youtube getting stung by algorithms that we really can't trust a centralised for profit corporate sites. I think that in the next year or two that there will be a big migration of creatives to decentralised systems.
With EOS starting up in June and all possibilities that holds I see Steemit getting some serious competition. The whole internet landscape could change.
Love the artwork.

great post, facebook is definitely a sinking ship. all this messing with the algorithms has left it kinda worthless. i find i spend less and less time there now without even thinking about it. Always about the money in the end!

Thank you for sharing experience, being dependent on a site is actually a problem. Keeping control on your contact list is indeed a good idea but more compelling than interactive participation with instant feedback from the community. But it deserves serious thought.

I should get myself into mailing lists more, I had done so from time to time, but mostly neglected it. The time spent on Facebook could really be put to better use.

I am on mailchimp, I just neglected it. I found it cumbersome to use since I had to build mailings from scratch instead of just copy/paste portions onto it (which I do on Wordpress, the most user-friendly way to compose). But maybe I should give it another go.

I succeed as a working artist because of my mailing list. It is absolutely crucial to my success. Unfortunately, I am one of those people who did not put much effort into getting my FB fans onto my mailing list, and now it is near impossible as FB actively filters out any posts attempting to do so.

I randomly post to FB and Instagram, not as dilligently as I might have done, but mostly did it as I was told it was a good thing to do for an artist. I think it drove some sales to my side line shop at society6 (Really done just to test the waters of peoples desire to buy products with my artwork on)
Now, I am so into Steemit I go days without looking at or uploading to either fb or instagram. I am trying to build up my own website now with a new way of being an artist in the digital age. It has become, in a sense a sort of piece of artwork on it's own. I might share the process as some steemit posts.
I have always done art for myself and sold locally and through word of mouth only ever doing occasional shows. With the internet I was able to connect with people in different ways so again sort of sold in that sense, privately.
I'm curious where art and sales are going now? The digital age is vastly coming upon another revolution and evolution I think and am curious to see how it affects not only art sales but our lives in general, we will live even more in virtual space and shopping and galleries will have a new feel and be a new thing, I think, much the way that when the internet really took off our lives gained this element we never really knew was coming but now can't imagine it being without.
Great article, I'm resteeming this one :)

Great article! I still rely on the whole diapora of the various social networks, at the moment none is replacing the other. Each having its specificity. Facebook aversion is to me especially the way they threaten you.
Also about steemit I'd neither put all my eggs in it at the moment. I made an entire post about its efficiency in promoting art and directing potential clients here and to me it's seems clear that right now, it's too self-centered on posts making $ (beside the cultural exchange of course). One thing I realise is that the way Steemit is made only attracts creators or curators but all being active users. It's unfortunatelly unattractive at the moment for "lamda" users who would just like to hang out but not participating in the race. (Also I found that article, rather old, called "the ugly side of Steemit", which I don't know how pertinent is is but which really made me doubt)
The newsletter is definitely a good safeguard, years I try to make one :D

Oh sorry for the link, here it is: https://steemit.com/art/@haedre/how-doyou-artist-do-on-steemit
You'll find the article "the ugly truth about steemit" by googling it, there are also others I haven't read yet. A few things: these articles are from the very beginning of Steemit, so I am not sure how relevant they are. They might have been written by concurrents... However a few things they say seem true. Like how Steemit unfortunately works as a (code controlled) oligarchy.
They also argue that it is not decentralized, since (again according to them), it's the steemit Devs and "their friends" who are the biggest whales and will always be.
Yes there's a lot to read and I think still a lot of controversy =)

Interesting analysis of social media.
Fuck facebook and fuck instagram and fuck the mass. As I am a megaloman and I think I have a great life, I opened a facebook page regarding my life, to promote my youtube channel and my blog and then I realized I had only perverts reaching out to me. Also instagram was useless.
It depends what we sell, right now I think social media are useless because they attract the mass, which not always understand your product.
