There is a funny and insightful podcast called comiclab. Its about making webcomics and making a living from it.

They share real numbers on how being instagram famous doesnt mean the crowd will support your art . The best bet is to open your website. Because from there you can directly interact with your true fans.

Thank you for sharing your wonderful art and your drawings.

I haven't closed my Instagram yet, but I barely post anything there. I'm not interested in becoming "instafamous" or "going viral", I just want to find a small audience that enjoys what I create

Great post Boujou! I related so well to your viewpoint on social media, specifically Instagram. I'm still there, but have been much less motivated/committed since I started my Substack Blog. Honestly, I'm really only there to continue connecting with some lovely fellow artists. I'm looking at other ways to market my art online---Instagram is definitely not working in that regard for me. I know it does for some, but there are toooo many hoops to jump through and of course dancing! lol Cheering you on to follow your dreams in the way that feels right for you! xx
