The rest is a request. What is a request? It's either a question or a plea. A question that can be answered and then discussed. A plea is similar. From the series: advise, help, what do you think, all questions go here. Responding to a post without a question is not a very good reaction. So, the artist wrote something. And? There's no question. Here are also the expectations from participants that they will write something about the painting, and then the complaints about not being recognized.
Firstly, these are your personal expectations from others. What are they based on? On your own individual reasons.
Secondly, you don't even voice your expectations and needs. What should people comment on in this case? No question, no answer. And that's it.
And a normal reaction would be to write without a question on another topic, if you feel like it, of course. Phrases without anything, just talking about everything and nothing, and then sighing that nobody responded to me, I'm so tired, I thought it would be different, and so on, are also in this category. And what do you think, colleagues?
Sell yourself, the rest will follow
Tell me, who do you usually trust 100%? That's right, people who are authorities to you. That's your brand. Let me explain. I build my image in such a way that people, seeing and hearing my name, know what to expect from me. It may seem impossible, but it's much simpler than you think.
You need to promote yourself everywhere and always. Promote yourself wisely and cleverly. And for this to work well, I try to showcase my skills in the field where I'm promoting myself. Choose what you like the most. Is there something that "hooks" you? Develop that theme.
So, how do things usually unfold? Here's the standard scenario of what I'm actually selling. Let's break it down step by step.
Firstly, why should I interact with people in real life, offline, if there are millions of potential clients on the Internet and ready-made websites-galleries?
After a month. If someone had told me about free advertising methods earlier. Oh, and by the way, can someone explain to me why advertise your website and page?
And another month later. Why am I even trying to sell my paintings independently? There must be another way! And what am I actually selling?
