/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

If we're talking about an online following, people who fail to get noticed just don't know how to market themselves. From what I've seen at best they'll throw artworks on random social medias and call it a day before going back to /ic/ and complain about how they're not popular. The issue can stem from several things do I don't have a fix-all method, but there are a few pointers to give:
>post regularly without clogging your feeds with half assed WiPs normalfags won't care about
>study what's out there and reevaluate your artstyle to make it more unique or appealing, less generic or soulless, to market yourself as "that guy who does X artstyle"
>jump on trends
>do fanart of better known artists in the hopes of them retweeting it
>interact with your audience
Basically you want to create a brand for yourself. Take example on Sakimi, Ilya or even Shadman. Even if their art is trash, they managed to be successful because they managed to develop a brand and successfuly market themselves.
