Just wondering if anyone has any tips on this. Things that have worked or haven’t worked.
Do you advertise locally or internet only?
Do you need to advertise or choose not to?
Do you sell on Etsy?
Personally, I’ve found commissions and enquireys, mainly have come from people finding me on Instagram. I also get some through my wife’s graphic design business.
I recently thought I’d try a paid repost on Instagram, on an illustration sharing account. (These types of accounts have more exposure, like hundreds of thousands of followers. )
I initially thought it had generated a few enquiries but when I look at the date on the messages and emails they had come in rather randomly about three days before, all on the same day.
Also if anyone has any tips for how not to feel weird about promoting or advertising your artwork, or even talking about it in a business way, I’d love to know your thoughts.
