Welcome back, this is just another little update on my progress and iterations that i have experienced so far within my digital artefact.

Arrt Process is my digital artefact in which I share my art journey, display and sell my pieces and give artistic tips and tricks whilst inspiring and offering help to anyone struggling or simply trying to make creative artistic pieces. I have also been adding quotes to try an relate to my audience on a more personal level. However I have really not found that instagram is working for me. I havent been gaining many followers or noticed a strong use of active followers interacting with my content. Aswell as feeling like instagram is not sustainable for selling my art either. Looking at my insights on instagram you can see that in the past week i have only made impressions on 22 accounts and reached 18 users without any interaction.

I was thinking of changing to a tik tok account to display the art making processes side of things, because it is easier to work with and make short 60 second videos using their tools to edit or add voice overs. In the hopes of making the content easier to find on the Tik Tok For You page and alot more interactive for my audience. However I then saw a tweet on our #BCM114 twitter feed with some advice for anyone who feels stuck on the platform that you are using. She said that if you love what you are doing but are stuck on the platform, simply try to move to a different one. This reminded me of some advice my tutor gave me from my pitch to put my art behind a paywall like Patreon and monetize the project in order to reach a more niche audience. Patreon is a membership platform that makes it easier for creators to get paid. Providing business tools and enabling fans (or patrons) to pay and support artists for their work. I have set up an account and will start to use this platform as my main source for selling my artworks. And will continue to use instagram as a base for my other art content.

I’m going to begin a posting schedule whereby I can plan a specific day to make content for my pages whilst painting. This will help me form a better routine as i have been struggling to find time to paint as it is very time consuming. I will also be adding more hashtags and start creating reels and try and collaborate with other accounts in the hopes of reaching more people.

Sit tight and bare with me on my DA journey whilst I perfect and continue to prototype my new direction. 😉
