For those with a large following in social media, SFW or not, what was the snowball point where you started gaining a huge amount of followers?

That means you need to post more fotm anime characters

>> No.4386572

I'm at 27k. I started about 3 months ago and am beg. The big boost came from mixing selfies/nudes in with my art. I post more pictures of myself than art nowadays. I know my art is not good enough to attract attention by itself so I'm happy the thirsty boys kiss my ass and tell me it's great when objectively there are many better artists. If I continue to grow at this rate I will hit 100k very quickly.

Not op but depends also on what you draw, I have a friend who used to draw human anime art and despite having like 1k followers at that time it didn't seem their art was very profitable, they slowly switched to furry art and now with almost 4k followers their art gets tons of attention and can easily sell their ych, commissions and adoptables for $100+

>> No.4387818

I'm at 390. I peaked at 397. I want to have the amount grow, but I'm unsure how. The problem is with myself and maintaining an audience. I'm slow as a snail to try and release images daily. If I do, it'd be just sketch after sketch.

>> No.4387829

Question, how effective do you think art raffles are? I know for experience that they usually draw a lot of attention and will probably get you a spike of followers but at the same time a lot of these followers are just there for the raffle and after that they unfollow or don't engage in your content which sucks. I'm considering doing one but I'm unsure whether if it would be worth it or not.

I have no idea where to get more followers, posting art does nothing, it never has. I only get fresh followers when I find a new discord and post my artwork for the 1st time.

You shouldn’t, dumb sub-30k bitch thinks she can reach 100k. That’s reserved for upper tier artists only. She’ll never make it based on looks alone. Even popular Japanese cosplayers reign at that bench. Some don’t even make it 100k.

be good enough and get retweeted by someone with a following. in the NSFW circle it really just come down to catching the attention of someone who is already in. Most are nice enough that they will bring attention to someone who deserves it but hasnt gotten any yet.

That being said dont go around being obnoxious and pushing your shit on other people's faces. if you wanna get into NSFW and you want to be proactive i just recommend engaging other artists by leaving a comment in their stuff. dont mention your shit at all. if they're curious someone will eventually check your profile and see that you got 3 digit followers and if you're lucky they might throw you a pity retweet. sfter that point if you're good you'll get followers and if you're not you'll get ignored. the thing is that by the point you got the retweet the other artist must have seen you're good enough. it all comes down to not being terrible.
