>also get 0 followers on x social media
>because nobody fucking follows anybody on it
nice "website"

>>5096116
Yes, thanks to morons like you

>>5096116
nice dubs but go backto using reddi t.

I got a shitload of upvotes but 2 followers and no comm offers so I stopped posting too. Twitter for all its shit has been more useful.

>>5096116
Where do i post my work on the website? I was planning on expanding out my network from ic and twitter next year.

Any recommended strategies?

I’ve spent a total of maybe 20 min on reddit...

>>5096415
dont. it's good for immediate gratification asspats and watching your karma score go up, but there's no mechanism for actually following individual posters

Make a subreddit for your art and advertise THAT, you dummy. Reddit has a userbase that prides itself on being above social media...despite being on social media. Play their game. Make a subreddit, thank them for the gold and updoots, and do a pinned thread with commission/shop info.

As far as i can tell you can only have one image for each new thread in the OP, so how do i post more drawings? Do i make new threads in my own sub for my own art? Or do i spam relevant drawings in fanart threads?

>>5096439
>As far as i can tell you can only have one image for each new thread in the OP, so how do i post more drawings?
It's one image that shows up, but you can upload multiple images either using Reddit's image uploader or an imgur album (both are supported well).

>Do i make new threads in my own sub for my own art?
Yes, that is exactly how you should be using that. There is a setting in there for only you to be allowed to submit threads but others can comment. Treat it as you would any other gallery based site.

>Or do i spam relevant drawings in fanart threads?
I'm assuming you meant fanart subreddits in which case, also yes. Also don't just stick to fanart focused subreddits. Look at any game/anime subreddit and it's all full of user created content. People love that shit.

Reddit is underrated for art. The users tend to be older and the collector types who are actually going to buy whatever merchandise you have in your online shop. Another point, merch >>>> commissions by a long shot. It's dirt cheap to make and you can sell it infinitely for an insane markup whereas commissions are a one time thing (and annoying most of the time). Go to /cgl/'s Artist Alley general. Read the OP post and lurk threads before posting or they'll murder you for more info on that.

I used to sell at conventions. Obviously 2020 fucked that one up, but Reddit has been so much more lucrative for me than other social media sites. Instagram and Twitter are easy to get followers on, but Instagram your followers tend to be underaged and broke (great for cons since they have mommy and daddy money but shit for online sales). Twitter they're just broke adults with no excuse, but retweets are nice.

>>5096415
the site is a trap. its really not worth it. they bait you with karma and gold but its all for nothing as nobody will follow you
if youre good or big enough to make a successful subreddit, youre better off just using twitter

>>5096116
I gotten 8k upvotes
35 awards
2 commissions

But when i post in /ic/ they i belong in /beg/

>>5096116
ok faggot but how many followers did you gain on leddit? they have their own follow system so there’s no reason for them to go to an external site.

>>5096460
0
nobody fucking uses that shit

>>5096450
It's posts like this that make /ic/ worth browsing. Shine on brother.

>>5096116
I get maybe 5-10 followers every time someone asks me for my blog on reddit. It’s not a whole lot, but a lot of redditors don’t seem to like using social media or try to keep their social media separate from their reddit accounts.

>>5096418
You can follow users now

>>5096116
fun fact: every additional click loses you like 60% of conversions (viewer > customer)

>>5097042
oh and that's on shopping sites
that's how braindead people are, every click is too much of an effort to go on for 60% of people who will browse products to buy
now imagine what the rate is on reddit

>>5097045
Depends on the fandom, I got 19 followers last time I posted art on rebblit

>>5097049
have you tried posting in the "kill yourself weeb" fandom?

>>5097059
>being this mad that you can't get followers
OH NO NO NO NO, MAYBE YOU SHOULD TRY IMPROVING YOUR ART???

>>5097065
I'll take it as a no, you should post there you will get lots of updoots

>>5097071
You should consider killing yourself, ripping out your eyeballs, pouring ants down your throat, drinking bleach and having red hot knives shoved down into your belly, having your intestines ripped out and hung out on a pike to attract flies.

>>5097077
haha holy fuck u mad

>>5097078
>u
*you will die in your sleep tonight

>>5097082

>>5097164
Says the mental inmate.

>>5097167
and yet I'm taking a fat shit on you and all you can do is seethe

>>5097173
Being unable to control your shit is a sign of mental instability so I'm glad you are trying to regain control over your bowels.

>>5097167
(weeb)

>>5097177
(You)

>>5097175
>Being unable to control your shit is a sign of mental instability
I am perfectly in control of you, little shit. I'm owning your stupid weeb ass right now. You are the one who's throwing tranny around and bumbling like a moron, most likely because you're tranny yourself and you're brain damaged from weebshit. Bet you have a dress somewhere and you stick shit in your ass while watching animay, right oniichan?

>>5097182
>an entire paragraph explaining that you are in control of your shits
lol, didn't read

well I'm done for the day, thanks for the (you)s
take care of your anime figurines and your assplugs I guess and wash your teeth between clients
bye weeb

>>5097186
>an entire paragraph explaining the fact why he had a shitting problem he needed to visit a mental asylum for
Lol, didn't read this either

>>5097185
(and remember the meds for that ADD)

>>5097188
>an entire sentence explaining why he has ADHD because he forgot to turn off his autocorrect
lol, did you know you could read? because I didn't either

>absolutely ass ruptured weeb goes full sperg after I called him out on his dress
kek
I really gotta go now
maybe stop multitasking e.g. sucking cock while reading and you'll manage a few comebacks next time

>>5097192
>so angry and embarassed he comes back to make one final post
Hope that the next time you come back from your impromptu visit to the shitting clinic you make some major changes to your attitude before you shit all over your boss after cross dressing in front of him.

>>5096116
I blame every retard that produces free content for those websites without getting anything in return.

can the two schizos please exit my thread?

is that you happyboy? its because your traced garbage fucking sucks. do us a favor and stay on reddit since you post there constantly

Making 11k/month by tracing
ama

This is the most based /ic/ thread I’ve been in for a while, ever since that thread of the Ethan kid who symbol drew Spider-Man like crazy.

>>5097117
So you do fanart and post on a much more active fandom? *takes notes*

>>5096402
sometimes reddit will give pity upvotes and if the timing is right and your submission title is good you will get propelled to the front page and get a lot of upvotes even if the content itself is mediocre
